Question: King Maha Vajiralongkorn - who spends much of his time in Germany - was cycling late at night with his entourage near Munich airport. The boys - aged 13 and 14 - shot at him from the window of a house in the town of Erding on 10 June, prosecutors say. It's not clear if they hit the king but no-one was injured. King Vajiralongkorn, 64, took the throne last year following the death of his father. "As of now it is not certain that the king himself was hit," a spokesman for the local prosecutor's office, Thomas Rauscher, told BBC Thai. "All that is known is that the king was part of a group of cyclists and that shots were fired at this group." He said shots were also fired later when the group drove past in the king's car. "The total number of shots is as yet unknown. We know however that more than one shot was fired." It's not clear if the boys knew who they were shooting at. The 14-year-old is being investigated on suspicion of attempted bodily harm, although the king declined to press charges. The 13-year-old is too young to face prosecution under German laws. "The king was not interested in taking any legal action against the boys… But in Germany, it is not up to the victim to decide [about the charges]," said Mr Rauscher. The monarch's personal guards are understood to have called the police. The king has two villas on Lake Starnberg, about 60km (37.5 miles) away from Erding, Bild Zeitung reports. He will not be formally crowned until some time after the cremation of his father, which is expected later this year. Late King Bhumibol Adulyadej was widely seen as a pillar of stability during seven decades of political turmoil in Thailand. But his son is yet to enjoy the same level of popularity, and has spent much of his life abroad. Married and divorced three times, he has seven children. Most ordinary Thais know only a few details about who he is and how he lives his life. But many will remember his interest in cycling. In 2015 thousands of Thai cyclists joined the then-crown prince in a ride through Bangkok in honour of his mother, Queen Sirikit. It was the first event to be publicly led by the prince and served to underline that he was the undisputed heir to the throne.

Answer: The authorities in Germany say the King of Thailand was unhurt when two teenage boys shot at him in the dark with an air pistol.


Question: The procession, which included floats, pipe bands and dancers, set off at 12:00 GMT in the Digbeth area of the city. Last year, more than 80,000 people turned out to celebrate the occasion. The parade, which has passed through Digbeth since 1996, is regarded as the third largest in the world after those in New York and Dublin. This year's celebrations have been taking place on the actual date of St Patrick's Day and have the theme of The Gathering, which organisers say is about encouraging people of Irish descent to visit the county, town and or village of their ancestry. Pat Murphy-Wright, cultural development officer for the charity Irish in Birmingham, said: "The parade is about people embracing their roots and helps to teach children at local schools about their cultural background." John Lines, the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, told BBC News the celebrations were going really well. He said: "The weather looks fine and everyone's smiling. Such wonderful costumes - people must have spent all year preparing for this. "Aren't we lucky in Birmingham?"

Answer: Tens of thousands of people have lined the streets of Birmingham for the annual St Patrick's day parade.


Question: The Jubilee Bridge, which crosses the River Derwent in Matlock Bath, had been due to undergo £140,000 of repairs in time for a local festival this autumn. But problems with scaffolding have forced a review and the planned work has been suspended. Officials said various options were being considered, including dismantling the bridge for repairs elsewhere. The iron bridge, which dates from 1887, links the promenade in Matlock Bath, Derbyshire, to a series of footpaths called the Lovers' Walks. Concerns had been raised about its condition, with the parish council contacting Derbyshire Dales District Council asking for repairs. In April the district council said contractors had been appointed to renovate the structure using the "shot blasting" technique. Work was due to start at the end of May and finish in time for the bridge to be reopened for the Matlock Bath Illuminations beginning at the end of August. A council spokesman said: "The Environment Agency wanted assurances the required scaffolding could be removed in the event of flooding. "This was not practical so we have had to accept the project cannot go forward in this form and we will have to re-tender at some point in 2014. "The repairs will have to take a different form and could even include taking the bridge away." The district council's Director of Planning and Housing Services, Paul Wilson, said: "Although there are no health and safety issues associated with keeping the bridge open in its current state while we re-tender the contract, we are naturally disappointed we have been forced to delay the restoration of such an important architectural feature." The project would also return the bridge to its original mid-green Victorian colour scheme.
