The mother of a boy who died after being hit by a car says allowing her "tremendous" son's organs to be donated will let him "continue to help others".

Article: All 89 of the most senior employees whose ethnicity has been declared are white (there are also three senior staff who have not stated this information).
In contrast five out of six workers in the lowest pay grade are ethnic minorities.
The Lord Speaker Baroness D'Souza, a cross-bench peer who chairs House sittings, described the data as "disappointing". She said she would be monitoring progress from now on.
Lord Ouseley, formerly chair of the Commission for Racial Equality, warned that the House's top positions form "a 'no entry' area for BME employees".
The figures have been released by the House of Lords in response to a BBC Freedom of Information request about the ethnic profile of the House's own workforce, numbering nearly 600, from clerks to catering.
It does not include researchers and other staff directly employed by peers themselves, or bicameral staff shared with the Commons.
The seven top pay bands range from £49,083 to £176,226 including the senior clerks and managers of administrative workers. The maximum salary in a pay range containing a declared black or ethnic minority employee is £42,686.
The FOI request revealed black and minority ethnic workers are overwhelmingly concentrated in the House's lower pay bands, with over half the BME workforce employed in housekeeping, catering and retail.
Five out of six workers at the lowest pay level are BME, earning between £17,135 and £17,744 a year. This is just above the annual London "living wage", which based on the Lords' 36 hour working week would be £17,128.80.
Overall, 13% of Lords staff have declared themselves as BME. London's working population is currently 37% BME. But in the chamber itself only 6% of peers are ethnic minority.
The ethnic profile of House of Commons staff follows a similar pattern to the Lords, but is less extreme. It has just 6% BME representation in the top seven pay levels, with 40% at the catering level.
The Commons launched a diversity scheme in 2012, aiming to improve minority representation at senior levels. It issues...

Summary: There are no black or minority ethnic (BME) staff reported in the top seven pay levels of the House of Lords administration, according to data obtained by the BBC.

Article: Royston Smith, Conservative MP for Southampton Itchen, said: "I have a lot of important work to do here locally."
He has made five speeches and asked two questions since May, the Independent reported.
The newspaper said this made him the "least active among the 177 MPs elected for the first time last year".
Mr Smith said: "Someone has to be last in the pecking order.
"Southampton is a challenging constituency and I spend my time doing as much as I can locally.
"I don't spend hours in the House of Commons waiting to make a three-minute speech."
On Sunday he posted on Twitter about Labour councillors in the city "trolling" him.
He also said: "While Southampton's Labour Councillors talk to themselves on Twitter I'm having a @SprinklesGelato"
The Independent said Labour's Louise Haigh is the busiest new MP, making 90 speeches and asking 471 parliamentary questions.

Summary: The "least active" of the MPs elected for the first time in 2015 has defended his record, saying he spends as much time in his constituency as he can.

Article: The US agency's current policy prohibits anyone working for it who has used cannabis in the past three years.
However, its director James Comey has acknowledged that this is complicating its efforts to recruit hacking experts, according to the Wall Street Journal.
It said he made the announcement at a conference in New York.
"I have to hire a great workforce to compete with those cybercriminals, and some of those kids want to smoke weed on the way to the interview," the newspaper quoted him as saying at the White Collar Crime Institute's annual meeting.
It added that when one attendee asked how a cannabis-using friend interested in working for the bureau should now act, Mr Comey replied: "He should go ahead and apply."
A spokeswoman for the FBI confirmed Mr Comey had discussed cannabis in unscripted remarks during a question and answer session after his speech at the conference.
However, during a committee hearing at the Senate on Wednesday the FBI director subsequently said he had been trying to be "philosophic and funny" when he made the comments.
"I don't want young people to use marijuana. It's against the law," he added.
"I did not say that I'm going to change that ban. I said I have to grapple with the change in my workforce."
Unlike the FBI, the UK's National Cyber Crime Unit (NCCU)'s vetting policy does not make specific reference to cannabis, but does have a wider anti-drugs rule.
"Whilst previous drug taking is not necessarily a barrier to employment provided people are open about it, applicants are told not to apply if they have taken illegal drugs in the preceding 12 months," said a spokeswoman for the National Crime Agency, of which the NCCU is a division.
"Before joining all new entrants have to undertake a drugs screening test before appointment is confirmed.
"Once employed, individuals are subject to NCA policies including random and intelligence-led 'with cause' substance testing. Certain high-risk posts require individuals to take more regular testing as a role requirement."

Article: The 900kg robot is heading for a touchdown on 6 August (GMT) in a near-equatorial depression on the Red Planet known as Gale Crater.
Controllers have drawn an ellipse on the surface that is just 7km by 20km.
They say they can hit this target because of their confidence in the high-precision landing system attached to the rover.
This system will use thrusters to guide the high-velocity phase of the robot's entry into the Martian atmosphere - a technology not available on previous lander missions. A large parachute and a rocket-powered cradle will manage the final moments of the descent.
Nasa says that by tightening the extent of the ellipse, down from the previously envisaged 20km by 25km, it can cut the time taken by the rover to roll to its primary science location.
MSL - the biggest and best Mars mission yet
This is the base of a 5km-tall mountain in the middle of Gale Crater known as Mount Sharp.
Scientists expect Curiosity to find layered rock deposits at this site.
These sediments should provide new insights on past environmental conditions on the Red Planet - conditions that may have supported microbial life many billions of years ago.
"We have reduced the amount of time it takes to traverse to that point by several months - perhaps as many as four," explained Pete Theisinger, the rover project manager at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
"And that allows a greater duration of prime mission at those key science targets and the accomplishment of science objectives."
The encapsulated Curiosity, also known as the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), was launched in November last year.
Engineers are using the nine-month, 570-million-km-long cruise from Earth to the Red Planet to check out the rover's systems.
All 10 of the scientific instruments it will use on the surface appear to be in good health.
However, the mission team has lingering concerns about the drill Curiosity will employ to grind up rock samples for analysis.
This tool has a tendency to shed a Teflon coating as it manages...

In a statement released by police, she said: "Zachary was just a lovely lad, full of life and joy. The whole family are devastated by the loss and we cannot believe that we will not see him again.
"He will remain in our hearts, thoughts and memories forever.
"We took the decision to allow his organs to be used for transplant, so that others may benefit from his short life.
"He was a tremendous son who was always willing to help everyone and even in death, he will continue to help others".
Police said a friend of the family has set up a Just Giving page to assist with the cost of the funeral.

Summary:


Teachers won millions of pounds in compensation last year after suffering discrimination and serious injuries in the line of work, a union said.

Article: "There are material events and conditions that raise substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern," the company said in a statement.
The electronics-to-construction giant reported a loss of 532bn yen (£3.8bn; $4.8bn) for April to December.
However, the results have not been approved by the firm's auditors.
These latest financial results have already been delayed twice and raise the possibility that Toshiba could be delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Toshiba's president, Satoshi Tsunakawa, apologised for the problems facing the firm and called the auditor's decision not to approve the financial report as "truly regrettable".
He said he hoped the company would not be delisted.
Toshiba, originally known for its consumer electronics products, has faced a series of difficulties.
An accounting scandal, uncovered in 2015, led to the resignation of several members of the firm's senior management, including the chief executive, after the company was found to have inflated the previous seven years' profits by $1.2bn.
Its problems came to a head again in January this year, when it became clear its US nuclear unit, Westinghouse, was in financial trouble.
Westinghouse was put into Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March, which protects it from creditors while it undergoes restructuring.
This week, Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Foxconn was reported to be willing to pay up to $27bn (£21.7bn)  for Toshiba's computer chip business, a move which could help shore up the losses if it went ahead.
But that has not been enough to resolve Toshiba's difficulties.
The firm's auditors, PriceWaterhouseCooper Aarata, have refused to sign off the company's accounts, resulting in their publication being delayed twice.
Now, faced with a deadline, Toshiba has made the unprecedented move of publishing the results without the auditor's approval.
Toshiba's statement added: "At the present time, substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern exists as of the filing date of the...

Article: Battling record fuel costs and unrelenting competition from subsidised rivals, Qantas has just announced 5,000 job cuts alongside an underlying pre-tax loss of 252m Australian dollars (Â£135m; US$225m) for the second half of 2013.
The cuts are part of the airline's ruthless make-or-break plan to revive its wilting fortunes by reducing costs by A$2bn over the next three years.
"Hard decisions will be necessary to overcome the challenges we face and build a stronger business," chief executive Alan Joyce said in a statement.
So can Australia's national carrier turn things around?
An airline that began with flimsy planes ferrying passengers in windy open cockpits in the 1920s has been lobbying the government in Canberra to ease limits in foreign investment or provide state intervention to boost its financial health.
While unwilling to pour taxpayers' dollars into the country's ailing car industry, Australian Treasurer Joe Hockey appears sympathetic to Qantas's plea for help.
Ministers are drafting new laws to allow foreigners to buy a majority stake in the airline and to strip away other restrictions.
The Qantas Sale Act, brought in under a Labor administration in 1992, prevents overseas interests owning more than 49% of the company.  It also blocks any single foreign investor holding more than a quarter of its shares.
Qantas management has argued that the legislation distorts the market and stifles its ability to grow.
"The government is philosophically attracted to levelling the playing field," said the federal Transport Minister, Warren Truss.
The Labor opposition has insisted that Qantas should be supported by the state, because it would be against the national interest for it to fold.
Earlier this month, Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson took out a full-page advertisement in Australian newspapers urging Canberra not to give a financial leg-up to its arch-rival.
"Should the Australian taxpayer be forced by the Australian government to prop up the Qantas Group, as federal Treasurer Joe Hockey is suggesting,...

Article: Timothy Tyrone Foster was convicted of molesting and killing a white 79-year-old retired schoolteacher in 1987.
But the court on Thursday overturned his conviction after ruling that the prosecution had broken the law.
Foster may now face a retrial, 29 years after his death sentence.
A law introduced in 1986 made it illegal in the US to pick jurors based on the colour of their skin.
But the following year all four black members of the potential jury pool in Foster's case were struck from the pool by prosecutors, leaving an all-white jury.
Non race-related reasons were given for striking the black members of the pool, but prosecution notes released to Foster's lawyers in 2006 revealed racial motivations, the Supreme Court said.
The notes show that the prosecution marked the names of black prospective jurors with a "B", highlighted them in green, and circled the word "black" on their juror questionnaires, Reuters news agency reported.
According to Foster's lawyer, Stephen Bright, one handwritten note titled "Definite Nos" listed six people, of whom five were the remaining black prospective jurors, the Associated Press reported.
The sixth was a white woman who made clear she would never impose the death penalty, Mr Bright said.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the notes "plainly belie the state's claim that it exercised its strikes in a 'colour blind' manner".
The eight justices of the Court voted 7-1 in Foster's favour. The sole dissenter was Justice Clarence Thomas, a conservative and the only black member of the court.
Foster, who was 18 at the time of the murder, was accused of breaking into the home of Queen Madge White, breaking her jaw, sexually molesting her and then strangling her, before stealing items from her house.

Summary: The US Supreme Court has ruled in favour of a black death-row inmate, finding that state prosecutors in Georgia unlawfully excluded potential black jurors from his trial.

Article: The Right Reverend Steven Croft will leave his role as the Bishop of Sheffield to take up his new position.
Dr Croft will be the most senior clergyman in the Church of England for Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
The Diocese faced "an extended vacancy" after votes in May last year failed to produce a candidate.
Updates on this story and more from Oxfordshire
Downing Street announced Dr Croft's appointment on Tuesday.
He was ordained in 1987 and became the Bishop of Sheffield in 2009.
The Diocese of Oxford has been without a permanent bishop since the Right Rev John Pritchard stepped down in October 2014.
Interviews of potential candidates were held in 2015, but the Archbishop of Canterbury said the Crown Nominations Commission - which elects bishops - had "been unable to discern the candidate whom God is calling".
The Bishop of Dorchester, the Right Rev Colin Fletcher, acted as bishop of the diocese in lieu of a full-time post holder.
Dr Croft will tour the diocese on Tuesday. He will meet the Bishop of Reading and the Bishop of Buckingham.

Article: A 59-year-old teacher from London received £185,000 after she slipped a disc in her back after she was knocked to the ground by two unruly pupils.
A member of teaching staff in north Wales was given £100,000 compensation when the chair he sat on collapsed.
The NASUWTteaching union said it had won £16,077,328 for members last year.
A Department for Education spokesperson said:  "School employers are responsible for the health and safety of staff and pupils whether the local authority, governing body or academy trust, and they must adhere to the Health and Safety Act 1974."
Teachers also received smaller payouts over accidents in the workplace, including a £55,000 package for a female member of staff in north-west England who tripped on a tear in the lino surface of her science classroom.
She was later diagnosed with chronic back syndrome.
NASUWT general secretary Chris Keates said many of the injuries would be reduced if employers "took the welfare of staff seriously" and followed good health and safety practices.
She said: "The consequence of negligence is careers, lives and health blighted and millions of pounds of public money spent in compensation.
"Unfortunately, there is no incentive for employers to take health and welfare seriously when they witness the government cutting funding for inspection and failing to take steps to secure compliance with the law.
"Failure to respect the rights of employees and to comply with employment law is also prevalent.
"Employers flout the law, but it's the teachers and the taxpayers who pay the price.
"While compensation is important, it can never make up for the fact that teachers suffer permanent physical and mental injury and often cannot continue in their chosen career."
Separate data from the NUT, which keeps its overall compensation figures private, said there were two cases of personal injury compensation paid to its members last year.
One included a £46,000 payout to a teacher who suffered "severe psychological injury" following "a sustained campaign of bullying...

Article: Mr Obama had previously released an official "certification of live birth" showing he was born in Hawaii.
But the White House has now published copies of the president's original birth certificate along with a statement on its website.
The document shows that Mr Obama was born in Hawaii on 4 Aug 1961 at 7.24pm.
"We don't have time for this kind of silliness," the president said in a statement to reporters.
Why has he chosen to do this now?
The issue has been back on the news agenda in recent weeks, mainly due to potential presidential candidate Donald Trump expressing his doubts about the president's birthplace.
He said he sent a team of investigators to Hawaii to try to find out more.
In response, CNN this week announced the results of its own investigation, in which it spoke to the former director of the health department on the island who said she had seen Mr Obama's original birth certificate herself.
The persistence with which the story kept resurfacing has prompted the White House to act.
In his statement, the president said it was particularly frustrating that the news about the Republican plan to cut the deficit was overshadowed by further allegations about his own birthplace.
But Mr Obama's opponents may question why it has taken the White House two years to yield to demands to see his original birth certificate.
What allegations were being made about Mr Obama?
For years, the "birthers" - as those who doubt Mr Obama's eligibility for the presidency are known - have been expressing their doubts about his place of birth.
The principal allegation was that Barack Obama was not born in the United States, and that he is therefore ineligible to be president, according to the US constitution, which states that "no person except a natural born citizen... shall be eligible to the office of President".
It was further alleged that any documents purporting to prove Mr Obama's eligibility were either insufficient or fraudulent.
Some of those challenging Mr Obama's eligibility allege that he was actually born in...

Article: The World Trade Organization's first comprehensive agreement involves an effort to simplify the procedures for doing business across borders.
There will also be improved duty-free access for goods sold by the world's poorest countries.
The deal, which could add about $1tn to world trade, gives developing nations more scope to increase farm subsidies.
"For the first time in our history, the WTO has truly delivered," said WTO chief Roberto Azevedo, as the organisation reached its first comprehensive agreement since it was founded in 1995.
Bureaucratic barriers to commerce can be a big problem.
Africa, for example, has the longest customs delays in the world. The African Development Bank says it can take 36 hours to get goods through the customs post at the Victoria Falls crossing from Zambia into Zimbabwe.
And there are often more barriers to negotiate once goods are over the border. The highway between Lagos and Abuja in Nigeria has 69 official checkpoints.
It takes time and costs money dealing with these delays.  It can be disastrous for a cargo of perishable goods.  These are exactly the kind of barriers that the WTO deal is intended to tackle.
Dealing with them would certainly make it cheaper for business to move goods across borders. And if it's cheaper, they will do more of it.
"This time the entire membership came together. We have put the 'world' back in World Trade Organization," he said.
Indonesian Trade Minister Gita Wirjawan said the deal would "benefit all WTO members".
UK Prime Minister David Cameron said the "historic" agreement could be a "lifeline" for the world's poorest people, as well as benefiting British businesses to the tune of more than $1bn (Â£600m).
However, the "Bali package", as the WTO calls the agreement, was criticised by some development campaigners who said it was not going far enough.

The rate of growth in short-term jobs however had sped up since April, the report addded.
It suggested that companies needed time to "digest the election result", which saw the Conservatives win a majority.
The number of job vacancies made available also fell to their slowest in 2015.
Although starting salaries for permanent employees continued to grow, the pace of growth sank to its lowest since April's nine-month high.
Recruitment agencies reported that the pay of temporary and contracted staff also continued to grow, although at its slowest since January.
The availability of temporary staff saw its fastest drop in seven months, leading recruitment consultants to report difficulties in hiring suitable people.
KPMG partner Bernard Brown said: "The UK job market saw a slight slowdown in May, as those on boards took time to digest the election result and work out the ramifications for their business.

Summary:


The pro-independence blogger behind the Wings Over Scotland website has been arrested for alleged online harassment.

Article: Nick Hardwick, the Chief Inspector of Prisons, said in a report that remand prisoners were treated less well than convicted inmates.
The rule that they should not be housed with convicted inmates was not being observed in practice, he added.
The prison service said it was addressing issues in the report.
Mr Hardwick said remand prisoners were often treated worse than other inmates, even though there was a long-standing principle that those on remand should have rights and entitlements not available to convicted prisoners.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he said remand prisoners often got "less help" preparing for life after their release.
Case Study: Jacques More, Kent
"On remand you're not treated differently to convicted prisoners - especially in terms of sharing facilities or cells.
"In the first cell I was put in there were three of us and I was with two convicts who both smoked and I did not. Only when I began to have sore throat was I then moved.
"The only thing you can get on remand is more visits - but how can you do this if you can't contact the outside world?
"Worst of all you are unable to prepare a defence properly whilst in prison. Only after complaining and going to senior officers was I given help.
"Once you understand the system you can work it, so it's convicted prisoners who explain to you what you need to do.
"I've met guys on remand who were accused of all sorts of things and then proved not guilty - but they get treated like everyone else."
Jacques was on remand for about three months in May 2011.
Mr Hardwick said remand prisoners received fewer entitlements  "because they have not been found guilty they simply don't get things like visits, letters, and the ability to see their solicitor".
There were two reasons for this, he continued: "One is because I think often prison officers don't know the rules that apply to remand prisoners. And secondly, they simply get muddled up in the general population, so even if prison officers do know the rules, they sometimes don't know who the...

Article: Europe's competition commissioner accused the firm of abusing its dominance in search in April.
Her intervention followed complaints from price comparison services that they were being unfairly disadvantaged by the prominence of Google's own ads.
The US firm has now filed its formal response.
Google says its shopping service - which appears as a box of images and links displayed at the top or right-hand side of other results - benefits customers and businesses without unlawfully distorting the market.
And it rejects the EU commissioner Margrethe Vestager's suggestion that it should show ads sourced and ranked by other companies within the facility.
Its defence rests on three arguments:
Google accounts for more than 90% of EU-based web searches.
Four months ago, the 28-nation bloc's competition commissioner issued a "statement of objections" against the company, beginning a process that could ultimately lead to a large fine and compulsory measures to make it change its behaviour.
"I'm concerned that Google has artificially boosted its presence in the comparison shopping market with the result that consumers may not necessarily see what's most relevant for them, or that competitors may not get the commercial opportunity that their innovative services deserve," declared Ms Vestager.
A spokesman for Ms Vestager confirmed she had received Google's reply.
"We will carefully consider Google's response before taking any decision on how to proceed and do not want to prejudge the final outcome of the investigation," Ricardo Cardoso told the BBC.
FairSearch Europe, a lobby group that represents Microsoft and Expedia, among others, was one of the complainants against Google. It said it saw nothing in the search firm's defence that would change its mind.
"The Commission has properly defined the market into which Google has leveraged its overwhelming dominance in search, namely the shopping (price) comparison market," said its spokesman Thomas Vinje.
"Google has decimated competition in that market by preferencing its own...

Article: Graduates will work alongside frontline staff after an intensive training course in the summer and complete a master's degree at the same time.
Trainees will earn £20,545 - a prison officer's starting salary - during the two-year scheme in England and Wales.
The Prison Officers Association said the scheme was "barmy".
The initiative is being launched by charity Unlocked and is backed by Justice Secretary Liz Truss.
She said: "Prison officers are some of our finest public servants. It is a unique role, which is both challenging and rewarding.
"There are very few jobs where you genuinely get the opportunity to reform and transform the lives of offenders, and the lives of their families, creating a safer society.
"I want to ensure that we attract the most talented and dedicated individuals, from the widest possible pool, and I want to see improved promotion and leadership opportunities for all our prison staff."
Natasha Porter, chief executive of Unlocked, said: "Prison officers are too often seen as 'turn-keys'. The opposite is true.
"They deal with some of the most challenging situations and work with some of the most vulnerable people in society.
"They are effectively mentors, counsellors, teachers, police officers and social workers.
"The aim of Unlocked is to help raise the status of the profession and to help reduce reoffending.
"While many of the scheme's participants will stay and develop long-term roles within the prison system, others will go into the outside world and act as ambassadors to drive forward rehabilitation."
The launch of the scheme, backed by Ms Truss's predecessor Michael Gove, follows a spate of major disturbances in prisons in England and Wales and comes on top of a separate recruitment drive for 2,500 new officers.

Article: Stuart Campbell was arrested in the west of England on Friday following a complaint from a woman in south London.
She had made allegations of harassment taking place over a two-year period.
Mr Campbell, who was released on bail, said it concerned some tweets and insisted they were not threatening.  He accused the media of "innuendo" designed to encourage "speculations".
The blogger, a former computer games reviewer who was born in Stirling but lives in Bath, has been a vocal campaigner for Scottish independence and launched the Wings Over Scotland blog in 2011.
On Friday he tweeted that he would be posting less frequently than usual because of "reasons totally outwith my control (don't ask)".
End of Twitter post  by @WingsScotland
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: "Police are investigating an allegation of online harassment.
"The allegation was made after a woman, aged in her 30s, attended a south London police station. The harassment is said to have taken place over the past two years."
Mr Campbell has been bailed, pending further inquiries, to a date in mid-September.
In a statement on the Wings Over Scotland website, Mr Campbell responded to a report of his arrest which appeared in The Herald newspaper.
He said that piece "has been written for maximum innuendo to allow the wildest speculations on social media - which are of course duly taking place - but the alleged events relate entirely to some tweets from our Twitter account, none of which have been deleted and all of which are still publicly visible.

The US government has imposed sanctions on 13 senior Venezuelan officials as pressure mounts on President Nicolás Maduro ahead of a controversial vote for a new constituent assembly.

Article: For Chinese shares though, the first trading session of 2016 has resulted in more of the same.
More panic, more pessimism and more people selling their shares because of - well frankly, other people selling their shares.
So why did Chinese shares fall by 7% today, causing trading to be halted? And what does it say about confidence in the Chinese market and more importantly - the economy?
Here are four things you should know about the stock market falls in China today:
This was what most analysts said was the reason behind why shares fell. Manufacturing data contracted again - for the tenth straight month. The figures are further demonstration of the ongoing narrative about China's economy, that state led investment into manufacturing is slowing down and that the economy is transitioning into services. China releases services data on Wednesday - which should show things are improving.
This was the first day that China's new "circuit breaker" came into effect, and that's why when shares plunged by 5% trading was halted by 15 minutes. When trading resumed, and shares continued to fall by 7%, trading was suspended altogether. The measures were created last year after the stock market crash in China, but only came into effect today. Circuit breakers in themselves aren't unusual - lots of countries have them for individual stocks, or for a few minutes - but it is unusual to stop trading altogether for a share fall of 7%. An indication perhaps of just how much the authorities want to avoid another crash.
There was a sharp depreciation in the yuan just ahead of the plunge in Chinese shares. China cut the yuan's value against the dollar, making it weaker than 6.5 for the first time in more than four-and-a-half years. There's speculation that the People's Bank of China has abandoned trying to hold the yuan up against the dollar, which means it's signalling that it won't step in to shore up the yuan. There are concerns that this indicates money is flowing out of China, and that the fall could get out of control. Some...

Article: In order to return the card to its owner, a man who found it on the bus in Eccles, Greater Manchester last October decided to look at its contents.
After finding a number of sexual images of children, he reported it to police.
Salford man Anthony Jolly, 50, admitted possession of thousands of indecent images of children and was sentenced to three years at Manchester Crown Court.
Among the images were photographs of children which appeared to have been taken from a bedroom window.
Detectives were able to trace the pictures back to Jolly's home address on Rosa Grove, Higher Broughton and arrested him.
A number of electronic devices were seized which contained thousands of indecent images of children.
Det Con Jill Vescovi of Greater Manchester Police said: "Anthony Jolly is a depraved predator who obviously doesn't care and hasn't given a second thought to the children in the images he kept and the impact this abuse will have had on their lives.
"Whilst none of the children who appear in the indecent images were directly abused by Jolly, the downloading and sharing of vile images like this fuel the trade of child sexual abuse."
As well as a jail term, Jolly was also given a sexual harm prevention order.

Summary: A "depraved" paedophile who was caught after mistakenly leaving his camera's memory card on a bus has been jailed.

Article: Its introduction has so far been blocked by the veto power despite attracting the support of a narrow majority of MLAs.
However, no-one should leap to the assumption that the Stormont parties will drop the controversial petition system in isolation, without revisiting all of the rest of the Good Friday Agreement's "ugly scaffolding".
Back in 2014, a Stormont committee reviewed the petition of concern system and concluded that there was no consensus for reform.
The committee considered whether the use of such petitions should be restricted to certain key areas.
It also discussed whether petitions should be triggered by weighted majorities of 65%. Again it could not achieve consensus.
Then last year the Alliance party tried to stipulate reforms to the petition of concern system as a precondition for taking the justice department again in a DUP and Sinn FÃ©in led coalition.
The former Alliance leader David Ford claimed Arlene Foster thumped the table in exasperation at this suggestion.
The cross-community voting system, which is triggered by petitions of concern, was introduced as a guarantee against majority rule in Northern Ireland.
Nationalists had long argued that the border was an effective gerrymander in order to guarantee a unionist majority. So they were never going to be prepared to participate in an assembly which might look like a recreation of the old pre-Troubles Stormont parliament.
If the petitions of concern were dropped in isolation, then same-sex marriage might progress. But equally there would be nothing to stop, for example, a unionist majority changing, say, the definition of a victim.
Some argue that the system should be changed so cross-community voting can only apply to constitutional or Troubles related matters.
But some politicians will baulk at any attempt to tightly define what they might regard as a "key area".
As the DUP leader put it, she thinks her critics want to keep the veto power for what they think is important but prevent her party deploying it in relation to its...

Summary: Arlene Foster's indication that she would like to see the Stormont petition of concern scrapped has focused attention on issues like same-sex marriage.

Article: A total of 37,105 complaint cases were recorded in 2014-15, figures from the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) show.
The numbers show a 6% rise in the amount of complaints made in 2013-14, with the figures reaching a record high for the second year running.
The most common complaint made was for "neglect or failure in duty".
The IPCC said a survey conducted last year showed public satisfaction following contact with the police was falling, and there was a greater willingness to complain.
The figures also found:
Home Secretary Theresa May announced an independent review of the IPCC's structure and governance in August.
Dame Anne Owers, chairwoman of the IPCC, said the figures showed a complaints system that was "both over-complex and inconsistent, and is clearly failing to satisfy a significant number of complainants".
She said: "We welcome the fact that the government proposes to bring in legislation to simplify and streamline a system that at present satisfies neither those who need it nor those who have to operate it."
Deputy Chief Constable Alan Goodwin, who is the national lead for complaints, added: "We police by public consent so it is always disappointing when somebody is unhappy with the service they have received.
"The system for handling complaints is complex and leads to inconsistencies between forces. The system is being reviewed with the aim improving it for those with a complaint and the forces handling it."
The number of complaints made to the watchdog marks the most it has received since it started collecting data in 2004-05.
A regional breakdown showed that Staffordshire Police recorded the greatest annual jump in complaints, with a 66% rise from 310 in 2013-14 to 516 in 2014-15.
The Metropolitan Police, the UK's largest force, had the highest overall number of complaints with 6,828. However, this number was down by 4% on the previous year.
Alex Duncan, professional standards lead at the Police Federation of England and Wales, said he was "concerned by the length of time it can...

Article: The sanctions freeze the US assets of those affected, and stop US entities from doing business with them.
Those targeted include the interior minister and the head of the army.
Last week, President Donald Trump vowed "strong and swift economic actions" if Mr Maduro held the poll, due on Sunday.
"Who do these imperialists in the United States think they are?" Mr Maduro said on Wednesday. "The government of the world?"
He also called the sanctions "illegal, insolent and unprecedented".
The vote, which Venezuela says will proceed as planned, is to choose the 545 members of a new constituent assembly that would rival the opposition-held National Assembly.
Critics say the president is trying to cement a dictatorship. He argues it is the only way to bring peace back to the divided nation.
The US sanctions also target the head of Venezuela's National Electoral Council, Tibisay Lucena, and former vice president Elías Jaua, who is leading the presidential commission organising Sunday's vote.
The inclusion of senior figures from the state oil company PDVSA underlines a further threat from Washington that sanctions on Venezuela's oil sector could be next.
Announcing the sanctions, US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the US "will not ignore the Maduro regime's ongoing efforts to undermine democracy, freedom, and the rule of law".
"Anyone elected to the National Constituent Assembly should know that their role in undermining democratic processes and institutions in Venezuela could expose them to potential US sanctions," he said.
Mr Maduro has accused the US of stoking unrest against his government, but President Trump said last week that Washington "will not stand by as Venezuela crumbles".
A 48-hour general strike is currently under way in Venezuela, in protest at the planned vote.

Summary:


India is using indelible ink on fingers to ensure people get only one chance to change their big bank notes.

Article: The 38-year-old has taken on billions of dollars of vested interest on Wall Street, and won for the little guy.
His successes were detailed in the best-selling book Flash Boys by Michael Lewis, and apt for a tale that could read like a Hollywood movie script, Sony Pictures bought the film rights.
Brad's story started in 2002 when he began working as a stockbroker in New York for the Royal Bank of Canada, aged 24.
Buying shares for his clients, Brad kept running into the same problem.
It went something like this - his team would go to purchase a bundle of stocks at a certain price. But once they pressed "buy", only part of the order was available, and the price for the rest had gone up.
After some investigation he found that the problem was caused by something called "high frequency trading" (HFT).
But what is HFT? And why should we care?
HFT is a system that uses complex computer programs to execute millions of trades per second.
Using information generated at speeds many times faster than the blink of an eye, super-fast computers installed with HFT software can estimate the rising value of a stock before the increase takes place.
Utilising HFT since 1999 has enabled some large investment banks, hedge funds, and other institutional investors to buy stocks microseconds before everyone else. They then make a profit - billions of dollars over the years - by selling the shares on at a higher price.
Brad, who was trading for the likes of pension funds, and didn't have access to HFT, thought it was completely unfair. And he was determined to do something to prevent it.
So with a team of colleagues Brad started work on a way to disable HFT.
Leaving Royal Bank of Canada with its blessing, in 2012 Brad established a stock brokerage called IEX that would utilise a method to remove the advantage of HFT.
What they devised was a "speed bump", a system whereby trades are slowed down by 350 microseconds by using 38 miles of fibre optic cable stored in a compartment the size of a shoe box.
This doesn't sound like much of a...

Article: During the same time, there has been little coverage in the newspapers and news channels about yet another deadly bout of flooding in the north-eastern state of Assam.
More than a million people have been affected and 60 have died in flood-related incidents so far. Officials say more than 1,600 villages have been inundated. Some 120,000 people have left their homes and taken shelter in more than 300 relief camps.
All the major rivers in the state  - the Brahmaputra, Jia Bharali, Dhansiri, Puthimari, Beki, Katakhal and the Kushiyara - were flowing above the danger mark for more than three weeks.
The local media have run single word headlines like proloy (cataclymic disaster) to capture the fury unleashed by the floods. But the national media has remained unmoved.
Writing in the media site The Hoot, analyst Kakoli Thakur says while the murder mystery in Mumbai "involving a woman from Assam was hogging the limelight but the state itself, where thousands of people were hit by the worst spate of floods in decades, was reduced to fillers in the newspapers and small news capsules on TV channels".
Ms Thakur argued that if a similar situation happened in any other state, the government and the media would have lost no time in declaring it a national calamity.
Assam is possibly India's most flood-prone state: since 1950, the state has seen at least 12 major floods.
So why does the state which is regularly hit by floods, not get national media attention?
"What is seen as usual rarely gets importance as news in Indian media. And floods in Assam seem to be the usual thing," says Ashis Biswas, a veteran journalist who has worked in Assam.
Mr Biswas recalls senior editors telling him during his days in Assam, "Please, no flood stories again".
Assam has always been prone to floods, but the 1950 Great Earthquake in the region led to massive changes in its topography and made things worse.
The state's Brahmaputra valley has, thereafter, been seeing increased devastation due to floods , says environment expert Partha J Das.

Article: The panel will supersede the role of chief scientific advisor that was controversially abolished last year by new EC President Jean-Claude Juncker.
The commission wants also to strengthen its relationship with the national academies across Europe.
Mr Juncker believes the reforms will be a better mechanism to ensure EU policies are evidence-based.
The former Luxembourg prime minister outlined the new system when he met a group of Nobel Laureates on Wednesday in Brussels.
These eminent scientists, who included UK Royal Society President Sir Paul Nurse, have been highly critical of the decision to drop the CSA role.
They interpreted the post's demise as a downgrading of the value of scientific advice within the commission.
After the meeting, Sir Paul said the delegation was encouraged by the development but that its success would depend on the detail and the execution.
The outgoing CSA, Scottish biologist Anne Glover, often complained about a lack of resourcing and staff.
The laureates believe the secretariat supporting the incoming expert panel must be given sufficient funding.
Implementation of the new mechanism will be the job of Carlos Moedas, the European commissioner for research, science and innovation.
He has spent the past few months investigating the routes to scientific advice for the EC.
Mr Moedas has taken the view that the EU's executive arm already has some excellent internal guidance - for example from the EC's in-house science service, the Joint Research Centre.
He has, however, always recognised the need for an additional layer of assistance - one that is truly independent of the Brussels machine, and transparent.
Mr Moedas will now set about recruiting the new expert group and better linking the EC to the expertise found in Europe's academies and learned societies.
The commissioner has given himself an autumn deadline.
The panel will have seven individuals on it, and they will come from a range of disciplines, including the social sciences.
"One of the things about science advice is that it...

Councillors reversed their stance after hearing Cosla had issued a revised constitution which highlights that there is no hierarchy between members.
Several others councils remain set to quit amid a row over government cash and tensions about power within Cosla.
Aberdeen, Glasgow, Renfrewshire and South Lanarkshire Councils have all indicated they plan to leave Cosla next year.
Inverclyde's council leader, Councillor Stephen McCabe, said: "We raised our concerns earlier this year and Cosla has responded to those.
"Our notice to quit was a requirement of our membership but we made clear at the time that the door was open for the council to return.
"We have decided to do that and the council will confirm that we will remain a member of the organisation."
Inverclyde's annual membership fees to Cosla are Â£60,000.

Article: Prime Minister Narendra Modi scrapped 1,000 (Â£11.8) and 500 notes in a surprise move last week as part of a tax evasion and corruption crackdown.
People have a limited time to exchange the notes for smaller denominations, but will have their fingers marked.
The government wants to stop holders of "black cash" offloading their old rupee notes in small tranches.
Authorities often use indelible ink to stop people from voting more than once in Indian elections.
People were told they should deposit their high denomination notes in the banks, or could only exchange up to 4,500 rupees, ($65; Â£52) for smaller notes.
But to clamp down on holders of unlawfully held or untaxed cash, depositors can only make such transactions once and so the banks are using the ink to prevent them from making multiple deposits.
India scraps 1,000 rupee notes overnight
Chaos at banks over India money ban
Supporters say it is a handy way for the Indian government to tackle corruption.
The finance ministry suspects "unscrupulous" people have been trying to get around the crackdown by sending proxies to exchange their banned rupee notes.
The withdrawal of the big notes is aimed at 'black money' and targets people who have been dodging taxes by holding stockpiles of cash.
While the authorities say people will not be allowed another cash swap, critics are wondering what happens if the ink wears off?
During elections, people have used chemicals to remove the ink from their fingers so that they can vote more than once.
The government's ban on big bank notes first received widespread approval because less than 3% of Indians file tax returns.
But the switch has caused chaos with tens of millions of Indians queuing for hours to exchange and withdraw cash.
The government was ill-prepared for the ban which suddenly put 86% of the country's money supply out of circulation.
Many businesses only accept cash and hundreds of millions of Indians do not have bank accounts and only use cash.

Summary:


All but one council area of Nottinghamshire, including Nottingham city, has voted to leave the EU.

Article: The motion on Jim Logue's position was rejected by 40 votes to 33.
A call for the council to publish internal audit investigation reports was defeated by the same margin.
Mr Logue, a Labour councillor, has faced criticism over the management of subsidiary companies of North Lanarkshire Leisure.
Police Scotland has started an investigation.
North Lanarkshire Council deputy leader Paul Kelly said: "The council decided today that the leader should do what he has been doing since this smear campaign started: focus on what's important to the people of North Lanarkshire.
"Councillor Logue has spent his political career fighting against precisely the kind of practices he is now falsely accused of being involved in."
But SNP leader David Stocks said: "We have put our case to the council on behalf of the public and the council has made its decision.
"The police must now be allowed to carry out their investigation without hindrance and we will not be making further comment on this issue until the police release their findings."

Article: The limit per transaction for the wave and pay cards, which do not require a PIN or a signature to authorise payment, was previously £20.
The move follows a huge rise in the number of people using contactless cards in the UK.
Transactions for the first half of this year totalled £2.5bn, already higher than the £2.32bn spent in 2014.
The UK Cards Association, the trade body for the card payments industry, said the increase meant that the average supermarket spend of £25 would now be covered.
"The growth in contactless payments shows people want to use contactless cards, and increasing the limit gives customers even more opportunities to pay in this way," said chief executive Graham Peacop.
In July, consumer group Which? warned that data from contactless cards could be easily stolen by determined fraudsters.
But the trade body said fraud via the cards was "extremely low", at less than one penny for every £100 spent.
The increase also comes after technology giant Apple allowed users of its latest devices to make contactless payments.
Kevin Jenkins, managing director UK and Ireland at Visa Europe, said contactless payments were becoming the "new normal".
"We've seen unprecedented growth in this area, with the number of Visa contactless transactions more than trebling in the past year in the UK," he added.
The increase was first announced in February.

Summary: Shoppers in the UK will now be able to spend up to £30 using contactless cards after the limit was increased.

Article: Scientists who discovered the fossil have dubbed it the "kite runner".
Ten capsules tethered to its back appear to contain juvenile progeny, all at different stages of development.
Reported in the journal PNAS, the many-legged, eyeless, 1cm animal is not directly related to any living species.
"There isn't an animal today that it's essentially related to," David Legg, a palaeontologist from the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, told BBC News.
"It's what we refer to as being on a stem lineage. So it belongs to a group that would have evolved and diversified before the modern groups did."
In fact, Dr Legg added, although it clearly had the segmented body and exoskeleton of an arthropod, it was quite a job to figure out precisely where to position the little beast on the evolutionary tree.
"Often you can look at a particular animal and say, that belongs to this group or that group. This one - we had no clue."
The fossil was dug up from a site in Herefordshire before being taken to Oxford and computerised. This process involved grinding away the specimen, slice by slice, and photographing each of those sections to assemble a 3D reconstruction.
Then, with this outlandish animal on their screens waggling its legs, long antennae and tethered capsules at them, Dr Legg and his colleagues set about categorising it using "compositional phylogenetics".
"You take its anatomy, code it into a data set and then run probabilistic methods on it, which will tell you how likely it is that something evolved in a particular way," he explained.
This process suggested that Aquilonifer spinosus ("aquila" means kite and the "-fer" suffix means carry) was a mandibulate: it belongs to the same broad group as modern insects, crustaceans and centipedes - but is not a direct ancestor.
"Nothing is known today that attaches the young by threads to its upper surface," said co-author Derek Briggs, from Yale University in the US.
"Modern crustaceans employ a variety of strategies to protect their eggs and embryos from predators -...

Article: Pauline Hanson's entrance drew audible shock from other senators ahead of a bid by her party to ban the garment in Australia.
Government minister George Brandis condemned Ms Hanson's stunt and "counselled and cautioned" her against causing offence to religious groups.
Mr Brandis received a standing applause from opposition parties.
In an emotional speech, Mr Brandis said Ms Hanson's actions risked alienating approximately 500,000 Australians who adhered to the Islamic faith.
"To ridicule that community, to drive it into a corner, to mock its religious garments, is an appalling thing to do and I would ask you reflect on what you have done," said Mr Brandis, who is Australia's attorney-general.
He added: "No, Senator Hanson, we will not ban the burka."
The Australian Broadcasting Corp reported Ms Hanson had elicited gasps during her entrance and one senator was heard to to say "oh, what on earth".
Senate president Stephen Parry confirmed she had been identified before entering the chamber. Ms Hanson later removed the burka.
Her motion to ban the garment will be debated in the Senate later on Thursday.
In a statement online, she said "the need to ban full face coverings in public [is] an important issue facing modern Australia".
Mr Brandis's speech drew a rare overt display of support from the Labor and Greens parties, who stood and congratulated him.
"It is one thing to wear religious dress as a sincere act of faith, there is another to wear it as a stunt here in the chamber," said Labor Senator Penny Wong.
Greens leader Richard Di Natale said Mr Brandis had made a "strong, impassioned, and personal response".
Ms Hanson has repeatedly generated controversy since first being elected to parliament in 1996.
In 2016, she gave a heavily criticised speech saying Australia was being "swamped by Muslims". She also faced calls to apologise two months ago after suggesting students with autism should be removed from classrooms.

Article: Labour MP for Bassetlaw, John Mann, a Leave campaigner, said people voted to leave because of immigration, zero-hour contracts and job prospects and said a "divide in Britain" had been exposed.
Mansfield voted most strongly to leave, with 70.9% backing Brexit.
Rushcliffe, which includes the towns of West Bridgford and Bingham, was the only area to vote for Remain.
It saw the East Midland's highest turnout.
Meanwhile, the turnout in Nottingham was the fifth lowest in the UK at 61.8%.
Leave won by a tiny margin of just over 2,000 votes in the city.
Mr Mann said his party was "somewhat out of touch".
"With the middle classes largely voting remain because they see it as benefiting them and the working classes largely voting to leave because it dis-benefits them - that's the divide in Britain," he said.
Latest reaction and updates from Nottinghamshire
Like large parts of England, Nottinghamshire overwhelmingly voted to leave the European Union.
The margin of victory in Bassetlaw, Ashfield and Mansfield was huge, with less than a third of people voting remain.
Arguably the biggest surprise came in Nottingham, which narrowly backed Brexit.
Affluent Rushcliffe was the only area to vote Remain.
Overall Nottinghamshire voted 57.9% for Leave and 42.1% for Remain.
Conservative Anna Soubry, the MP for Broxtowe and a Remain campaigner, tweeted it was "a dreadful decision".
"People like me were told you're scaremongering, we don't want to listen to the experts," she said.
"All that has been unfortunately proved to be accurate. We have made a very, very, very bad mistake."
Labour MP for Nottingham North, Graham Allen, said David Cameron had "gambled with Britain's future" by calling for a referendum, saying people voted to leave "in protest" at the current government.
Turnout was 81.5% in Rushcliffe - the highest in the East Midlands and the only council area to vote Remain.
The vote was close elsewhere, including in Nottingham, where the split was 50.8% Leave, 49.2% Remain.

Article: Lower oil prices, weak growth across Europe, the upcoming general election and political unrest in parts of the world have been identified as contributing factors.
The latest business confidence monitor shows Scottish businesses recorded a confidence score of 3.6.
That was down on 22 in the last quarter and below the UK average of 16.8.
Companies were asked how they would describe their confidence in the economic prospects facing their business over the next 12 months, compared to the previous 12 months.
They scored zero for stating "as confident", positively up to 100 for more confident, and negatively down to -100 for less confident.
An average score was then calculated from all the responses.
The business monitor is conducted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) and Grant Thornton UK.
More than a third of respondents to the survey said that competition is a greater challenge than it was a year ago, while customer demand is also a growing issue.
Grant Thornton's Scotland managing partner Kevin Engel said: "Given the impact of lower oil prices, UK elections, weak European economic growth and overseas political unrest, it is not surprising confidence has dropped.
"While such a significant drop in confidence is naturally concerning, there are reasons to be optimistic.
"Our research shows that despite low confidence levels in the past, the Scottish business community is resilient, innovative and in good shape to face these challenges.
"Scottish business output continues to grow, as does long-term employment and remuneration. Whether low confidence translates to a drop in economic performance is yet to be seen."
ICAEW Scotland president Paul Adderley said: "Whilst it is always disappointing to see confidence amongst Scottish businesses decline, we should be encouraged by the fact that Scottish confidence is still in positive territory.
"Factors such as the current uncertainty in the oil and gas sector and the fact that we are in the run-up to a general election have surely...

Article: It means all pupils currently in P3 at Greenwood, Belmont and Dundela feeder schools will be guaranteed a place at Strandtown Primary.
A situation arose because the three feeder schools are consistently oversubscribed.
As a result more pupils expect to transfer to Strandtown than the approved P4 admissions number.
In a statement, the department said: "A temporary variation to the enrolment number for Strandtown PS has been granted for the 2015/16 academic year.
"This will ensure that every child who wishes to transfer to Strandtown PS from the local Infants schools will be able to do so.
"In approving the temporary variation, the education minister made clear that he expected the Belfast Education and Library Board, and subsequently the Education Authority, to ensure a long term solution to this problem is brought forward."
Welcoming the decision, East Belfast Alliance Party MLA Judith Cochrane said: "I would like to thank the education minister for approving this variation and hope that he will continue to take a keen interest in the school as we look to resolve this problem.
"The infant-junior model is unique in Northern Ireland and therefore needs an individual approach to ensure the continuation of this excellent educational provision in east Belfast.
"As a member of the board of governors at Strandtown, I know the hard work that has gone on behind the scenes to secure this solution and to reassure parents."

Article: Its veterbra was discovered after it fell from a cliff face onto a beach near Whitby.
Tests by University of Manchester scientists indicate it is about 176 million years old, dating from the Middle Jurassic period.
The fossil is to go on display at the Yorkshire Museum from 8 June.
Sauropods, often referred to as brontosaurs, included some of the largest plant-eating dinosaurs to have walked on Earth.
They had long necks and tails, small heads, a large body and walked on all fours. Some species, such as the Argentinosaurus, grew up to 115ft long and possibly weighed as much as 80 tonnes.
The museum said the fossil was "an extremely rare find" because Middle Jurassic rocks are only exposed in a few areas such as China and Argentina, where similarly aged dinosaur fossils originate.
Prof Phil Manning and his team used X-rays to study the fossil bone.
He said: "It was a splendid surprise to come face-to-face with a fossil vertebra from the Jurassic rocks of Yorkshire that was clearly from a sauropod dinosaur.
"This fossil offers the earliest 'body fossil' evidence for this important group of dinosaurs in the United Kingdom but it is impossible to define a new species based upon this single bone."
The team have nicknamed the dinosaur Alan, after the man who found the fossil.

Summary: Britain's oldest sauropod dinosaur has been identified from a fossil bone discovered on the North Yorkshire coast, experts have revealed.

By 1919 the force had 11 female officers, though no more were recruited until 1931.
Three of the officers in an archived picture of the unit remain unidentified and now the force is asking for help from the public.
West Midlands Police said files on four officers - Elsie Chapman, Mary Dwelly, Lizzie May Peers and Malenda Shawe - have not survived.
Corinne Brazier, who has worked with Insp Steve Rice on a book to mark the centenary of the force's first female officers, said they have been "unable to match names with faces" and would "love to complete the picture".
"These women paved the way for the many female officers we see in the force today," she said.
"I'd love to hear from anyone who believes they may be descendants of our pioneering WPCs or anyone who has old photographs or information on our early police women."

Article: A Canadian Lancaster, currently on a UK tour, performed an engine shutdown during a flight in County Durham.
Its owners said it landed safely at Durham Tees Valley airport following the "precautionary" shutdown.
It had been due to fly to Bournemouth to take part in weekend displays with an RAF Lancaster bomber.
An airport spokesman said the plane had experienced an "issue" with one of its engines as it was approaching the runway at the end of a 30-minute demonstration flight for invited guests.
"The aircraft landed safely and nobody was injured and it taxied to stand.
"The Lancaster has been returned to the hangar and engineers are conducting tests to determine the cause of the fault," he added.
The last remaining flying Lancasters - owned by the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum - were due to fly at the Bournemouth Air Festival as well as the Shoreham Air Show and the Gedling Show in Nottinghamshire, as part of a two-month UK tour by the Canadian aircraft.
The aircraft are based at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire for the duration of the visit.
There were over 7,000 of the type of aircraft produced between 1941 and 1946.
A statement from Bournemouth Air Festival said: "We share the disappointment of all the Canadian Lancaster fans but we understand that she is over 70 years old and these sort of things can and do happen.
"We hope she's airworthy again soon."
An airworthy Merlin engine is being shipped from the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre near Skegness and this will be fitted over the weekend.

Summary:


Two convicted rapists and a man convicted of assault - all considered to be a "risk to the public" - have absconded from an open prison.

Article: A report by the Health Select Committee says health workers should use every opportunity to deal with the problem.
The MPs also call for urgent steps so people understand the wider health benefits of physical activity.
The government says its Change4Life programme is providing widespread free advice on healthy eating and exercise.
But the MPs argue that national and local government and the NHS must do more to prevent people becoming unwell.
That could include regulation of what goes into food, a ban on marketing sugary drinks to children, and much more support for people at risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes, so they do not need bariatric surgery.
"The committee regards it as inexplicable and unacceptable that the NHS is now spending more on bariatric surgery for obesity than on a national roll-out of intensive lifestyle intervention programmes that were first shown to cut obesity and prevent diabetes over a decade ago."
The report emphasises the "huge health benefits" of physical activity. The MPs cite recent research which found that for the most inactive people, walking for 20 minutes a day would have a greater positive impact than not being obese.
"It is vital that the importance of physical activity for all the population - regardless of their weight, age, gender, health, or other factors - is clearly articulated and understood."
The MPs also highlight inequalities in rates of physical activity, in particular the disparity between men and women.
Official figures suggest just 16% of girls aged five to 16 achieve recommended levels of physical activity, compared with 21% of boys.
Some 32% of women meet the recommended threshold for activity. For men, the official figure is 43%.
The report speaks of  a "fear of judgement" deterring many women from taking exercise. One witness to the committee, Julie Creffield, described the ordeal of venturing out.
"I have women who tell me they run on a treadmill in their shed because they just don't want to be seen in public, but that is part of the problem. Because we...

Summary: MPs say it is "inexplicable" that the NHS in England spends more on bariatric surgery than well-established measures to prevent obesity.

Article: For decades, the country's network of over 50 papurau bro (local community newspapers) - monthly, Welsh language ultra-local newspapers - has quietly recorded life across the nation.
Although sales of traditional newspapers are falling, with many titles being merged, these volunteer-run publications maintain a combined circulation of around 56,000 a month.
With four in the county of Ceredigion alone, and with a new paper about to launch in Abergavenny, the last area of Wales without one, the sector appears to be doing well.
One - the Llyn Peninsula's Llanw Llyn - is even employing staff.
More and more English language hyper local websites and papers are also springing up - titles like Caerphilly Observer and Wrexham.com.
So what is behind the success of the micro-local publications?
For Glyn Tomos, editor of Caernarfon's Papur Dre, the answer is simple and in line with the approach of mainstream newspapers and magazines.
"People need to see themselves in the paper," he said. "That's how we measure success. And if people don't see themselves, they won't buy it."
His paper is bought by 1,200 people every month, roughly one in five of Caernarfon's adult population.
A large team of volunteers deliver door to door, while local adverts fill the pages.
"People are very supportive," he said. "Information is important, and increasingly you find local papers disappearing, which is a tragedy.
"Our emphasis is very much on the people of Caernarfon, how people live and the characters of the place."
The Welsh Government clearly values papurau bro too.
It gave Â£88,880 to 52 papers last year, and its 2016 Welsh Language annual report praised an increase in the circulation of the papers as "very encouraging", saying "there is an important place for them in the life of Welsh communities".
Hyper local news media, both Welsh and English, are at the heart of the Welsh Assembly's Digital News and Information Taskforce plans to better communicate what the government does.
In addition to local politics, papurau bro publish a...

Summary: As Wales' media landscape undergoes massive upheaval, there is one part of the industry that has stayed reassuringly consistent.

Article: While his critics said that at 89, he was too old to seek re-election in 2013, he countered that he might seek two more terms, taking him to the verge of his century.
Before the 2008 elections, he said: "If you lose an election and are rejected by the people, it is time to leave politics."
But after coming second to Morgan Tsvangirai, Mr Mugabe displayed more characteristic defiance, swearing that "only God" could remove him from office.
And just to be sure, violence was unleashed to preserve his grip on power.
In order to protect his supporters, Mr Tsvangirai pulled out of the second round and although Mr Mugabe was forced to share power with his long-time rival, he remains president of the country he has governed since 1980.
The key to understanding Mr Mugabe is the 1970s guerrilla war where he made his name.
At the time, he was seen as a revolutionary hero, fighting white minority rule for the freedom of his people - this is why many African leaders remain reluctant to criticise him.
Since Zimbabwe's independence, most of the world has moved on - but his outlook remains the same.
The heroic socialist forces of Zanu-PF are still fighting the twin evils of capitalism and colonialism.
Any critics are dismissed as "traitors and sell-outs" - a throwback to the guerrilla war, when such labels could be a death sentence.
He blamed Zimbabwe's economic problems on a plot by Western countries, led by the UK, to oust him because of his seizure of white-owned farms.
His critics firmly blame him, saying he has shown no understanding of how a modern economy works.
He has always concentrated on the question of how to share the national cake, rather than how to make it grow bigger.
Mr Mugabe once famously said that a country could never go bankrupt - with the world's fastest-shrinking economy and annual inflation of 231m% in July 2008, he was determined to test his theory to the limit.
Professor Tony Hawkins of the University of Zimbabwe once observed that with Zimbabwe's leader: "Whenever economics gets in the way of...

Summary: As Zimbabwe's economy has gone from bad to worse to disastrous in recent years, Robert Mugabe's political and physical demise has been predicted many times but he has always confounded his many critics - so far at least.

Article: Philip Hammond also said there had been a reluctance to "recognise the link between non-violent extremism and violent extremism" in the past.
He said the importance of tackling all forms of extremism was now realised.
Addressing a security summit in Bahrain, Mr Hammond described countering Islamist extremism as "the great challenge of our time".
In the speech, in Manama, he said: "We in Britain, have recognised - perhaps later than we should have - that to prevail in that struggle, we have to tackle all forms of extremism, not just violent extremism."
He added: "For decades we have clung to a false distinction between the two.
"We have tolerated - in fact we've even celebrated in the name of multiculturalism - ideas, behaviours and institutions that have encouraged separateness of identity and intolerance of difference.
"With hindsight, we've been too tolerant of intolerance.
"Too anxious about causing offence instead of standing up for what is right and tackling head-on the radicalisers and the extremists peddling their messages of hatred and division."
Mr Hammond said details about British strategy in the Gulf would be published in the coming months.
He was also in Bahrain to take part in a ground-breaking ceremony marking the start of construction at a new Royal Navy base at Mina Salman Port, which will allow longer-term deployments in the Gulf.
In an interview with the BBC, Mr Hammond also said the UK needed to show more of a "duty of care" to vulnerable people at risk of being radicalised by extremists.
Asked by BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner if the new counter-extremism strategy was an admission of failure, not just by this government but by previous governments, Mr Hammond said: "I don't think it's just a failure by governments, I think it's a question about how our society has dealt with these issues in the past.
"And the doctrine of multiculturalism that we clung to for a long time in the UK, I'm afraid, encouraged us to turn a blind eye to things that we should have addressed.
"It allowed...

Summary: The UK was late to recognise the need to tackle the extremist views behind terrorism, the foreign secretary says.

Article: Wayne Maycock, Paul Bromwich and Admi Headley were last seen at HMP Leyhill at about 16:45 GMT on Sunday.
Avon and Somerset Police has appealed for anyone who sees them, or knows of their whereabouts, to make contact.
HMP Leyhill in South Gloucestershire is the only minimum-security prison in the South West.
Headley was sentenced in 2006 for rape and robbery, Maycock was jailed in the same year for GBH, while Bromwich was sentenced in 2001 for rape.
Earlier, the police force suggested all three were convicted of rape but this information was later amended.
A Prison Service spokesperson said: "Public protection is our top priority. We take absconds from custody extremely seriously. We are working closely with the police and are urgently investigating this incident."
According to Avon and Somerset Police:
Leyhill, near Wotton-under-Edge, is a category D prison housing more than 500 inmates, including some on life sentences.

American adults without a college education saw their overall financial circumstances decline last year for the first time in three years.

Article: The award honours and recognises those who have made an outstanding contribution to broadcast entertainment throughout their careers.
Jean Philip De Tender, of European Broadcasting Union, said Fry represented "all that is best about entertainment broadcasting".
Fry, who previously won a Rose d'Or as host of QI, said he was "honoured".
He tweeted: "*blush* *giggle* *simper* - thank you very much, nice Golden Rose people."
Fry's career took off in the mid-'80s with his comedy show A Bit of Fry and Laurie, alongside House star Hugh Laurie. He went on to establish himself as a household name in series such as Blackadder, Jeeves and Wooster and dramatic adaptations such as Gormenghast. His film career has included Peter's Friends, Wilde and Gosford Park.
More recently he has fronted a number of documentaries, and voices the character of Colonel K in the new series of Danger Mouse. He also played the Master of Laketown in the film adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit.
Fry began hosting BBC game show QI in 2003. Last month he announced he was stepping down from his role fronting the panel show after 13 years. He will be replaced by Sandi Toksvig.
"Stephen Fry represents all that is best about entertainment broadcasting in the UK, throughout Europe and across the globe," said Mr De Tender.
"Not only has he entertained generations and made us laugh, he has also, through his documentary work, shone light on challenging issues such as mental health.
"It's only fitting that the industry will show its appreciation for him in London on December 9th with an award that represents the gold standard."
The Rose d'Or 2015 will present awards next month in six categories for television and online video and five categories for radio.
Paddy O'Connell, who will host the award ceremony, said: "Stephen Fry has tried to remember to be good to people and also that the industry is made up of many, many thousands of people who don't get the credit.
"For me, I'm pleased that someone who has tried to put in the occasional word for...

Article: The Institute for Government said the government was "continuing to function" despite having a fifth fewer civil servants than in 2010 and "turf wars" resulting from preparations for Brexit.
The government has abandoned four proposed bills in the past six months.
In its report, the think tank warned government had become less transparent.
The government is expected to clear the parliamentary schedule in the coming weeks to allow Parliament to debate legislation needed to approve the start of Brexit talks.
This is having a knock-on effect on the government's wider agenda, with Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt revealing on Tuesday that legislation to ensure all foreign migrants and visitors were charged for health treatment had been dropped.
He told the Health Select Committee the government was not proceeding with the NHS Overseas Visitor Charging Bill "because of Brexit" but insisted the NHS was still expected to recover more money from people not entitled to free care.
Proposed bills on prison and school reform have already been discarded since the EU referendum, while plans for a British bill of rights have been put on the backburner.
In 2014, the head of the civil service said the government was doing 30% too much, while unions representing civil servants have warned that budget cuts have left many departments struggling to cope with the fallout from the EU referendum.
In its annual assessment of the shape, size and performance of government, the Institute for Government said the number of one-off major projects being undertaken had fallen but the government still had too much on its plate.
It said ministers had appeared to "shoehorn" as many commitments from their 2015 election manifesto into their departmental business plans as possible and many of these had not been updated since the vote to leave the EU.
Among these priorities, it said, were "everything from social mobility and 'just about managing' families to Heathrow expansion, devolution and public sector reform".
"This remains a challenging to-do list...

Summary: Ministers are trying to do too much and there is a "sense of overload" in Whitehall even before it grapples with the challenge of Brexit, it is claimed.

Article: Militants displayed a "flagrant disregard" for the lives of civilians during the 50-day war, a report found.
Six civilians in Israel and 13 Palestinians are believed to have been killed as a result of such attacks.
Hamas, which dominates Gaza, said Amnesty's report contained many inaccuracies and false allegations.
The conflict left a total of at least 2,189 Palestinians dead, including more than 1,486 civilians, according to the UN. On the Israeli side, 67 soldiers were killed along with the six civilians.
According to UN data, more than 4,800 rockets and 1,700 mortars were fired from Gaza towards Israel between 8 July and 26 August. Around 224 projectiles are believed to have struck Israeli residential areas.
Amnesty said that all the rockets used by Hamas and other militant groups, some of which have ranges of up to 160km (100 miles), were unguided projectiles which could not be accurately directed at specific targets and were "inherently indiscriminate".
The majority of Israel's 8.3 million people live within reach of the long-range rockets, and the report pointed out that as a result the "circle of fear has widened" in Israel.
Mortars are also imprecise munitions which Amnesty said should never be used to attack military targets located in or near civilian areas.
Four-year-old Israeli Daniel Tregerman was killed when a mortar launched in Gaza by Hamas' military wing, the Izz al-Din Qassam Brigades, struck a car parked outside his family's home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz on 22 August and sent shrapnel flying.
Amnesty said rocket fire had also endangered Palestinian civilians.
The group said an independent munitions expert had concluded that a Palestinian rocket had exploded next to a supermarket in the al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza City on 28 July, killing 13 civilians, 11 of them children aged between seven and 14.
Some Israeli attacks during the conflict also amounted to war crimes, Amnesty added. The group has previously accused the Israeli military of killing scores of Palestinian civilians in attacks...

Summary: Rocket and mortar attacks by Palestinian militant groups during last summer's conflict in Gaza amounted to war crimes, Amnesty International says.

Article: The A9 Safety Group, which has released the statistic, has credited average speed cameras with helping to make the stretch of road safer.
The network of cameras went live in October last year.
But critics of the scheme said longer-term statistics showed a rise in fatal accidents between Inverness and Perth.
There have been six fatal crashes - an increase of one on the baseline average of 5.5 fatal accidents - between the two cities between October last year and June this year.
Mike Burns, who has campaigned against the cameras, said this figure showed that the system was not the answer to the A9's problems.
A9 Safety Group, whose partners include Police Scotland, Highland Council and Road Safety Scotland, has hailed the cut in fatalities over the three busy summer months.
Stewart Leggett, the group chairman, said: "These most recent figures continue to demonstrate that driver behaviour on the A9 between Dunblane and Inverness has significantly improved.
"Road safety trends remain encouraging and this summer has seen the first time since 2007 where there were no fatal accidents in July, August or September on the A9."
He added: "This improvement is taking place despite rising traffic volumes and the busy summer period which saw a number of major events take place, in addition to the seasonal flow of visitors making use of this nationally-important route to support the economy of the Highlands and Islands."

Summary: For the first time in eight years there were no fatal accidents in the months of July, August or September on the A9 between Inverness and Dunblane.

Article: The finding was one of the takeaways from a US central bank survey of more than 6,640 adults published on Friday.
In total, the number of respondents with no more than a high-school diploma who said they were "living comfortably" or "doing okay" fell to 60% from 61%.
Overall, the annual survey showed US economic health improving.
Some 70% of respondents said they were either "living comfortably" or "doing okay," up from 69% the year before, and 62% in 2013 when the Federal Reserve started the survey.
But there were continuing signs of instability, with over a third of US households (35%) saying they could not cover their monthly bills or an unexpected $400 (Â£307) expense, according to the survey.
The survey also suggested that disparities between households with different education levels was growing.
Gap between rich and poor 'keeps growing'
Enriching the rich in the US - but what about the rest?
"A clear pattern over the past two years across these measures is that the improvements have been most pronounced among those with greater levels of education," researchers wrote in the report.
Nearly 100 million Americans have no education beyond high school, according to US government estimates. (The estimate excludes members of the military and people in institutional facilities such as prison.)
That fact is tied to wide differences, the survey found.
About 46% of adults with at least a college degree reported family incomes of $100,000 or more, compared to just 9% of respondents with a high school degree or less.
Adults with at least a college degree were more likely to report earning money from online activities - such as renting out properties using a website - and more likely to have a steady stream of income from month-to-month.
They were also more likely to say they received a raise in the last year, and more likely to say it exceeded the growth in their expenses.
"The thing is that earnings are so highly correlated with education and employment," said Sandy Baum, a senior fellow at the Urban Institute, a...
