Williams is expected to join the European champions from Scarlets at the end of the season, though the move has not been confirmed. Charteris has played for Perpignan, Racing 92 and Bath in four and a half seasons outside Wales. "I've spoken to Sanj [Williams] about it and for him I think it would be a great move," said Charteris. "He would be playing in an unbelievable team, playing in a great league in the Premiership and he will flourish as a player and go from strength to strength." Williams and Charteris line up for Wales against South Africa in Cardiff on Saturday in the final match of Wales' autumn series. Scarlets and the Welsh Rugby Union are keen to keep the player in Wales. A move to England would mean Williams - who plays full-back for his region - would be subject to rules which limit the number of players based outside Wales who can be picked for the national side. The senior player selection policy - known as the so-called "Gatland's law" - means only three wildcard players can be in the Wales squad for any series of matches. This autumn Jamie Roberts (Harlequins), George North (Northampton) and Taulupe Faletau (Bath) were the selections with Bath fly-half Rhys Priestland missing out. Charteris is exempt because he was not offered a contract by a Welsh region before joining Bath, but still believes Saracens would be a good move for Williams. "I understand the argument from Wales why they want to keep players here but from a purely selfish point of view - or from a player's point of view - I think it's undoubtedly the right move and the best thing for him to do," added Charteris. "And I think Wales as a national team will benefit from that because he will come back with more experience. He will learn things from Saracens, little things that he can bring back. "I certainly do understand the argument of having the best players in Wales in terms of selling it to the public. "But I think the fact we only have four teams means we have to have some boys playing away to open up spots for other players." Charteris left Newport Gwent Dragons for Perpignan in 2012 and says the move had been a big success for him. "It's a hard one - it's all about the individual," he added. "For me it was the best thing I ever did was move outside of Wales. "From a personal point of view, for my private life, for my family, for all of that it was brilliant. "I've loved it. And from a rugby point of view I think I've developed as a player from being out. Media playback is not supported on this device "There are certain boys who have moved - whether to France or England - and it hasn't worked for them for whatever reason and they feel happier being back home whether that's for the fans support around them or familiarity or whatever." Charteris was a lean 21-year-old when he made his Wales debut against a South African team boasting legendary locks Bakkies Botha and Victor Matfield in 2004. The Springboks will be missing another world-class second row in Cardiff with Eben Etzebeth back home after suffering concussion in the defeat by England. But Charteris does not believe his absence will affect the Springboks. "In all honesty the strongest second row this series has been Pieter-Steph du Toit," he said. "He's been quality. When you see him playing for the national side he's been outstanding and I know he's been going very well for the Stormers as well so I think he's their focal point, their strongest second row. "Obviously Lood de Jager is a big player, a very good player for them as well. "There's a continual conveyor belt of second rows and back rows coming out of South Africa and the next one is always bigger, stronger and faster than the last one."

The Ralph Lauren outfit was in keeping with the theme of this year's ball, an homage to Japanese designer Rei Kawakubo, and won fashion plaudits from the moment she glided up the stairs. There have been close to 16,000 tweets just about Chopra, which means the country has been tweeting about her pretty much since waking up. ... is it really an advertisement for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pet "clean India" movement, locally known as Swacch Bharat Abhiyan? Because obviously the dress would be a highly effective cleaning mechanism. This seems to be by far the most popular theory around her dress and what it means. Some people have even tweeted directly to the prime minister, asking him to appoint her as an official "ambassador" for the project. The movement has used celebrities including cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar and Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan as ambassadors before, so as theories go it isn't too far off! We're just going to let this tweet speak for itself. The verdict in both India and the US is near unanimous - Priyanka Chopra simply won in that dress. Elle Magazine called the dress "FANCY", US Magazine declared that "Priyanka Chopra slayed"  and Time Out New York picked her as one of its 10 best "favourite looks" at the Met Gala. In pictures: Met Gala's oddest outfits The press reactions in India have run along similar lines. The Times of India newspaper said that she "swept away the competition" while the Deccan Chronicle said she "looked like a princess". The sentiment on Twitter was not too far off. Some reports say  that this is the world's longest trench coat - and with material like that up for grabs, it's an opportunity too good for any photoshop enthusiast worth his/her salt. It is unclear at time of writing if Guinness World Records have been contacted.

The Belfast Citywide Tribunal Service was set up three years ago with money from the city council. Gerry Tubritt, the chair of the Belfast Advice Group which manages the scheme, said loss of the service would have a severe impact. Belfast City Council said funding for the service was always due to end by 31 December 2016. The Department for Communites did not provide funding for the organisation but granted money to the council for representation services. A spokesperson said the minister has announced funding of £2.5m for the Welfare Reform Advice Services Consortium, which includes Citizens Advice, AdviceNI and the Law Centre NI. They said this was to "provide additional services to assist the general public through the implementation of the ongoing changes to the welfare system". Mr Tubritt said staff have provided representation at 3,203 appeals. "The benefits system can be difficult for those people to navigate at the best of times, but particularly when it involves turning up in person to a formal hearing before a panel which includes people with a legal or medical background." "The rationale for the Citywide Tribunal Service is if anything more relevant now than it was in 2013, and we would urge Belfast City Council to keep funding the service whilst seeking support from the Department of Communities or other relevant government departments to sustain it until 2020," he said. Belfast City Council said it recognised the important role this service has played in helping people across the city. In a statement it said: "In terms of timing, we had initially agreed to fund this project for two years to a total value of £429,209.60 back in 2013. "This was then extended in March 2015 to the value of £175,000, with extra resources again made available, through our Community Support Programme, to secure the project until 31 December 2016."

The squad had been due to depart for Slovenia at 13:30 BST but as a result of an issue with the plane, that has been put back at least three hours. Aberdeen and NK Maribor are level at 1-1 after the first leg. "When there's an itinerary there you want to stick to it but it's no drama from our point of view," said McInnes. A similar travel scenario surrounded the Dons' trip to Latvia in the previous round, when they played Ventspils. McInnes stressed it would make "no difference" to how they prepare for the third qualifying round match. "We weren't planning on training at the stadium tonight (Wednesday) anyway," he added. "We wanted to be a bit more specific and train here this morning so there's no real change from that other than the players will arrive a bit later, we get to the hotel and just go straight in for dinner. "We hoped to be in watching the Celtic game. Hopefully, we can still get to see that and then the plans on Thursday will be as normal so there's not really too much change to our preparation." The Dons boss also admitted the match paled in significance to the deaths of two young Maribor players in a car accident on Tuesday. A minute's silence will be held before the match for Damjan Marjanovic and Zoran Baljak. "You never know how they react to that. In a football sense, it's secondary," said McInnes. "Firstly it's awful news. Our sympathies go to everyone involved - the club and the families especially - from our club. "It's not the news you want to hear and regardless of how that affects them, it's just awful. "You try to put it into perspective with how it would be if it was a 19-year-old and 20-year-old from our club and you start to identify who those players could be and how close they are to the first-team players as well."

More than half of people would be unable to choose the cheapest deals when comparing the information in adverts, the charity said. Three quarters of those in the research said information in the adverts was too complicated to make an easy comparison. In particular, line rental costs were often not included in the advertised headline cost. Earlier this year, Citizens Advice said that teaser deals in adverts were masking the long-term cost of broadband packages. Gillian Guy, the chief executive of Citizens Advice, said the continuing problem with broadband adverts meant that potential customers were often left unable to make an informed decision. "Attractive headline offers that don't include line rental costs make it impossible for people to work out the best broadband deal on offer without doing complicated sums," she said. "Broadband providers need to make the costs of a contract clear in their advertising and  the Advertising Standards Authority should also review the code of practice to make sure it  works well for consumers." In its latest research, Citizens Advice took a sample of just over 2,000 adults and split them into four groups. Eight adverts, produced by seven unidentified companies, were selected by the charity and divided into four pairs. Each of the four groups of people were then asked to compare a different pair of adverts, and also to look at marketing information on the websites of the companies involved. The research found that 56% of those involved could not work out the cost of the deals on offer, and thus were unable to decide which was cheapest. One advert, which the charity declined to identify, was so bad that only 22% of people in the research could work out accurately how much the deal on offer might cost them. The charity said the source of the problem lay in the prominence given to temporary "teaser" rates, while at the same time the cost of line rental was often downplayed. "The adverts typically are advertised with a promotional period featured prominently, which can be free or significantly lower than the overall cost of the contract," said Citizens Advice. "The cost of line rental and the length of time that the 'teaser' price applies is included separately and often only in small print," it explained. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said: "We've conducted research jointly with Ofcom on this important matter and will be publishing the outcome of that work early in the New Year."

Twitter said UK government agencies and the police made 299 requests for information between January and July, up from 116 in the previous six months. It makes UK law enforcement the biggest requester of Twitter data in the EU. Twitter said it had complied with 52% of the requests for information, which could be used to identify a tweeter. Twitter has published its transparency report since 2012. The social network said requests for account information worldwide had increased by 52% - the largest ever increase between reports. It said the United States was behind most of the requests, followed by Japan and Turkey, although the UK remained "a top requester". Twitter said it had also received nine content removal requests from UK government agencies and the police. The company said removal requests relate to matters such as defamatory statements or prohibited content. It rejected the nine requests made in the UK. "Where the police are made aware of a case of any one of a broad range of offences capable of being perpetrated via Twitter, such as harassment, incitement to violence, terrorism or hate for example, and the alleged perpetrator is believed to be a UK citizen, police in the UK may make an application to Twitter for information about that individual," said Assistant Chief Constable Richard Berry from the National Police Chiefs' Council. "We are confident, given its level of engagement with both law enforcement and government, that Twitter's management is alert to the possible misuse of their platform and is committed to ensuring that we can cooperate fully to combat criminal activity." A Home Office spokesperson told the BBC: "It is absolutely vital that our police and intelligence agencies are able to obtain information from communications companies in certain limited circumstances, set out in law, to protect the public and ensure national security. "This information helps to disrupt terrorist plots, uncover criminal networks and keep us safe." One campaign group told the BBC that it should not be the responsibility of private companies to publish transparency reports. "Thanks to the transparency reports of internet companies, we know police are already accessing data with far greater frequency than many other countries," said Emma Carr, director of Big Brother Watch. "If the public are to have any confidence that surveillance powers are being used proportionately, then we should not have to rely on private companies to publish this data. "The government should proactively be publishing their own transparency reports, highlighting exactly how many requests are being made, how often they are refused and why," she said.

The 19-year-old defender has seen knee and Achilles injuries limit him to just nine appearances since joining for £3.5m from Charlton in June 2015. "It's a massive gesture from the club to show that trust and faith in me," said Gomez. "I'm very happy here." Gomez has been out since October 2015 but returned to action in the FA Cup tie with Plymouth earlier in January. "I feel good, very good. I'm back training normally and have been for a good while now," the England U21 told Liverpool's website. "Obviously it was nice to get some minutes in the last two FA Cup games. "Now it's about me trying to push on and keep learning. It's a great environment for me to be in. I've loved living here and playing here and learning under the new manager, so it was a quick decision."

From that date the paper counterpart of British driving licences - which records endorsements and fines - is being computerised. Anyone wanting to hire a car abroad could need a code to show convictions for offences like speeding. To obtain it, motorists will have to log on to the DVLA website beforehand. But the code is only valid for 72 hours, so anyone wanting to hire a car more than three days into their trip may need to generate a new code while they are abroad. For those who do not have internet access, a phone number will also be made available. However, the code is not an official requirement and it will depend on the individual hire company's terms whether or not it is required. The RAC said many drivers were unaware of the changes. "Our research shows that with just over a month to go before the paper counterpart to the photo-card licence disappears, 55% of drivers are not aware of the planned change," said RAC spokesman Simon Williams. The DVLA recommends destroying paper counterparts after 8 June. However the AA is advising people to hang on to the document, in case some hire companies are unaware of the new arrangements. "Not all car rental companies, or indeed traffic police abroad, will be aware of the changes, so a 'belt and braces' approach of also taking the counterpart might help," said AA president Edmund King. But the AA also said that hiring a car abroad without a paper counterpart is not always a problem. Just as some car hire companies do not currently ask for a counterpart, not all will ask for a code after 8 June. The British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA) said the situation still was not clear. "Due to the short notice provided by the DVLA and the need to thoroughly test the new system, many car rental companies are still finalising their plans for the UK and abroad," said a BVRLA spokesperson. The old-style paper licences, issued before the photo card was introduced in 1998, will remain valid, but holders will still need a code to fully validate them. To view a record of their convictions, motorists can log on to the View My Driving licence page of the government website. They will need their driving licence number, their national insurance number and their postcode. The changes do not apply to driving licences issued by the DVA in Northern Ireland.

The 43-year-old scored for Blackburn on their last Cup trip to Anfield, when they knocked the Reds out of the 1999-2000 competition with a 1-0 victory. Rovers have already beaten Premier League sides Swansea and Stoke to reach Sunday's quarter-final. "With confidence, you can achieve anything," former Wales international Blake told BBC Radio Lancashire. Like the current side, Blackburn were playing in England's second-tier when they overcame Liverpool 15 years ago. But Blake said the manner in which the Championship side defeated Stoke 4-1 in the fifth round made them a particularly dangerous proposition for Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool. "The way they beat Stoke, it's not like they got away with it, they took them to task, put them to bed," said Blake, who also played for Cardiff, Sheffield United, Bolton, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Leicester and Leeds during a 15-year career. "The manner in which they won that game, they should be flying high on confidence." Blake recalled scoring his late winner against a Liverpool side that included a young Steven Gerrard as a "great memory". He said: "I remember it being a real ding-dong game - it was a great occasion. "Everyone had written us off, Blackburn as a club had been written off at the time, but we went to Anfield and it was a good game. "I can't say we had it all over them at any point, but we held our own and quite late on I managed to pick up a ball from Per Frandsen and slot it with my right, first time."

Education Scotland's Bill Maxwell said large parts of the 20,000-page guidance was an "appropriate" at the time. Concern about the Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) advice was raised last year by teacher unions. They believed the document had served to overwhelm teachers with unnecessary and unclear guidance. Mr Maxwell defended its publication as MSPs quizzed representatives of the Curriculum for Excellence board on how such a high volume of advice had been allowed to build up. Asked by Labour MSP Johann Lamont whether the thousands of pages were necessary, he said: "Large parts of it were." He explained to Holyrood's education committee: "I would argue much of it was an appropriate response at that point in time when it was requested, and served a useful purpose for a period of time and then has a natural timespan. "For example, in the very early days we were modelling learner journeys before the new curriculum model existed, so there was some guidance about what new pathways through a senior phase curriculum that didn't at that point exist might look like." He said such models "can disappear" as "more practical" real life examples emerge. Mr Maxwell added: "I won't pretend every piece of advice we've ever put out has absolutely hit the mark."

Marie Colvin was a distinguished foreign correspondent for the Sunday Times. She was originally from New York State in the US but had been based in London for many years. Speaking to the BBC from Homs on Tuesday, she said she had seen "sickening" scenes, and watched a baby die from shrapnel injuries. She had worked in conflict zones from Kosovo to Chechnya, and across the Arab world. She was injured while reporting from the rebel-held northern region of Sri Lanka in 2001 and lost the sight in her left eye. Speaking in 2010 at a service remembering journalists killed in conflict, she said that war reporting must continue, despite the dangers. "Our mission is to report these horrors of war with accuracy and without prejudice," she said. "We always have to ask ourselves whether the level of risk is worth the story." Marie Colvin, who was 56 and a Yale graduate, was known for her personal style of war reporting and had frequently been the lone journalist in areas of high risk. She won many awards for her work, including Foreign Reporter of the Year at the British Press Awards in 2010. Paying tribute to Marie Colvin, the editor of the Sunday Times, John Witherow, said she was an "extraordinary figure" in the life of the paper, driven by a passion to cover wars in the belief that what she did mattered. Her thoughts were always with the victims of violence, he said. He added that she was a woman with "a tremendous joie de vivre, full of humour and mischief and surrounded by a large circle of friends, all of whom feared the consequences of her bravery". Marie Colvin's report from Homsappeared on the front page of the most recent edition of the Sunday Times. Referring to the article in an email to the BBC's Middle East Editor, Jeremy Bowen, on Monday night, Marie Colvin wrote that she thought the piece "was one of those we got into journalism for". "They are killing with impunity here, it is sickening and anger-making," she wrote. Writing to a friend on Facebook the night before she was killed, she joked that reports of her survival "may be exaggerated". She said of Baba Amr that she could not understand "how the world can stand by and I should be hardened by now. "Feeling helpless. As well as cold! Will keep trying to get out the information." Her mother told journalists Ms Colvin's legacy was: "Be passionate and be involved in what you believe in. And do it as thoroughly and honestly and fearlessly as you can." The French photojournalist Remi Ochlik was born in 1983 in Lorraine. After studying photography in Paris he began his career covering conflict zones with a trip to Haiti in 2004. In 2005 he founded a photographic agency, IP3 Press, in Paris, with two fellow photographers. He covered the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2008, and was back in Haiti in 2010, photographing the cholera epidemic and presidential elections. In 2011 he covered the Arab Spring revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt and the war in Libya. He won a first prize in the 2012 World Press Photo contest forthis imageof a rebel fighter in Libya.

Jones, 39, and Cardiff Blues pair Danny Wilson and Matt Sheratt have been added to Wales' staff for the Pacific Islands tour in June 2017. Wales head coach and assistant Rob Howley are away with the British and Irish Lions next summer. "Stephen will obviously get a lot out of it but I think there'll be more going the other way," said Pivac. Jones played well over 200 matches for Llanelli and Scarlets and returned to west Wales as a backs coach in 2015 after a spell as part of Dai Young's coaching team at Wasps. Pivac believes he has a future at international level. "He's been identified as a coach with a lot of potential and someone I believe will be a fine international coach going forward. He's going to be world class," said the New Zealander. "Wales are talking about playing an attacking game so I think Stephen will be able to add something there. He's taken a lot of his qualities he showed as a player into his coaching." Jones scored 917 points in 104 appearances for Wales and played fly-half in six Test matches for the British and Irish Lions. He is now sharing his expertise with Scarlets stand-off Rhys Patchell, a combination Pivac says is key to the team's success. "The relationship between the two is blossoming and that's great for Welsh rugby going forward," he added. "Technically Stephen is very very sound, tactically very switched on. We're in a pretty good place as a result of the hard work he's been doing."

The promotion-chasing Bantams took the lead when Tony McMahon's whipped cross was headed in by Jamie Proctor. But Akpa Akpro beat keeper Ben Williams to the ball with six minutes left to draw Shrewsbury level. Fourth-placed City are six points off a League One automatic promotion place, while Shrewsbury are 20th, two points clear of fourth-from-bottom Blackpool. Micky Mellon's side have two games in hand over his former club, but Town's next three matches are all against promotion-chasing sides. They are now at home to eighth-placed Sheffield United on Tuesday night before trips to sixth-placed Gillingham and third-placed Walsall. Shrewsbury Town manager Micky Mellon told BBC Radio Shropshire: "You have to dig in and keep fighting. It's very tight at the bottom and tense, but we need people who can believe. "We didn't compose ourselves in the first half - but we kept battling away. You always get an opportunity at some stage in the game and we got one fall our way. "The substitutions worked and gave us the battling qualities we needed to get back in it, but it's frustrating because we're trying to find a system that works."

Ch Supt Alan Spiers said call handling would move from its control room in Dundee to its national service centre in central Scotland in that month. The processes to close control rooms in Aberdeen and Inverness would take place from August to October, he said. Highland Council has raised concerns about the loss of local knowledge once the Inverness service shuts. Council leader Margaret Davidson said the local authority "was convinced that it was safer" that calls from within Highland, a region about the same size of Belgium, were handled locally. Ch Supt Spiers told BBC Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme that Police Scotland acknowledged that were concerns about the restructuring. But he said the current set-up of call handling was not "practical or sustainable" for a national force, and its change programme would be carried out with due regard to proper "governance, measures and independent assurances". Control rooms in Inverness and Aberdeen were originally scheduled for closure in 2015. However, that original closure plan was halted after an HM Inspector of Constabulary (HMIC) investigation began into a crash on the M9 in July which was not followed up by police for three days. John Yuill and Lamara Bell died after the crash near Stirling. In November, weaknesses in Police Scotland's roll-out of its new national call-handling system were highlighted in an HMIC report. Derek Penman said the oversight of the project was inadequate and made 30 recommendations. Ch Supt Spiers said the force was working through through those recommendations and would have this work completed by June. He said: "They are at different stages of completion. We also said we would go much further than what the recommendations have said. "We have also stated the remaining phases of our reform programme would only proceed when the police authority and HMIC were completely assured that staff, systems and procedures and processes were in place."

In particular, the numbers studying overseas through the European Union's Erasmus programme more than doubled in seven years, says the Council. And more than a third of almost 3,000 UK students surveyed said they were interested in studying abroad. Rebecca Hughes, British Council director of education, said barriers were "gradually diminishing". The British Council, which promotes UK culture and education overseas, says interest among UK students in working and studying abroad is growing. Last year, 15,566 UK students took part in the European Union's Erasmus programme, spending up to a year in another European country as part of their degrees. This was 115% up on the number who took part when the programme began in the UK in 2007 and a rise of 6.8% on the year before. More than 7,000 students also went to work or study in China last year on British Council Generation UK China scholarships, up from 6,000 the year before. And more than 2,500 have applied for 500 places on the Generation UK India programme, launched this year. The figures are published ahead of the British Council's Going Global international higher education conference in London next week. Of 2,856 UK students interviewed for the report, 34% said they were interested in overseas study. Almost half (48%) of these said they were most attracted by the chance to travel and explore different cultures, 30% said they hoped ultimately to work for an international company and live overseas, while 15% wanted to access the best universities for their subject. Only 7% said they wanted to return home as soon as possible once their period of overseas study was finished. Of those who had already studied abroad, 40% defined the main advantage as a boost to their career chances, while 60% said it had given them experience of another culture and the chance to travel. The most popular option was to study abroad for a year as an undergraduate. The United States was the most desired destination but 42% preferred non-English-speaking countries. One of the biggest deterrents was a perceived lack of language skills, the study suggests, along with cost. Help with foreign language training and funding were popular suggested solutions. "This latest evidence confirms that a growing number of the UK's students are recognising the huge value to be gained from international experience," said Prof Hughes. "Our universities play an important role in supporting those ambitions. The UK needs graduates who have the skills and confidence to compete globally, and can compete against foreign talent that may speak more languages, and have wider international experience."

Donna Sullock let friend Michael Pearce look after son Alfie while she went on a night out last August and said the baby had no marks on him when she left. Newport Crown Court heard the defendant text her saying Alfie was "fine" but soon after he was brain damaged. Mr Pearce, 32, of Nelson, Caerphilly county, denies murder and manslaughter. The injuries were said to have happened in the two hours the defendant babysit Alfie, of Fairwater, Cardiff, for the first time on 16 August. The jury were read a series of texts between the defendant and 29-year-old Ms Sullock, who became friends when she was six months pregnant. He texted a photo of the baby to her and she replied: "Has he been crying, his face looks red?" Responding a minute later, at 20:20 BST he said: "He's had a little wind. He's fine now, sleeping, don't worry". He sent another text 20 minutes later saying: "You can trust me you know," and then at 21:07 BST, another text was sent informing Ms Sullock that Alfie was still sleeping. But four minutes later, the court heard he dialled 999 and then called Alfie's mum to say her baby had stopped breathing and was being taken to hospital by ambulance. Alfie was taken to Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil before being transferred to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff where he died four days later. The prosecution claim Mr Pearce had beaten him with a shoe and a hard plastic bottle. A post mortem examination showed Alfie died of blunt trauma injury and extensive bleeding into the brain. The trial continues.

The photograph of them, taken by singer Bryan Adams, shows the panellists without filters or airbrushing. Ms Street-Porter, 70, said they were "sick of pictures of women being photoshopped into 'perfection'". Actresses Nadia Sawalha, 52, and Linda Robson, 59, and TV star Katie Price, 38, are among those who took part. The image will be shown on billboards across the UK. Presenter Saira Khan, who appeared on The Apprentice, says being Muslim meant she had been "brought up with the mentality to not draw attention to my body". She added: "I battled against my curves when I was younger as I didn't want boys to notice me for being sexy - I was brought up to never bare my skin in front of men - it took me a long time not to feel guilty for wearing a dress or baring my arms. "I want to say 'this is NORMAL,' particularly to women of colour. Forget the airbrushed images you see. This is what I REALLY look like. I'm sticking two fingers up." The women agreed to pose for Bryan Adams only if there was no airbrushing with the campaign slogan "Look, but you can't retouch" emblazoned across the bottom of the image. Despite the panellists giggling and smiling in the photograph, Ms Street-Porter wrote in the Mail that there was a serious message behind it. "It's time women started feeling empowered - regardless of whether or not their bodies conform to some spurious notion of perfection," she added. Ms Street-Porter said she wanted to "fly the flag for older women", and warned all women not to be "brainwashed by the fake images", adding: "Real women look like we do - we all just need to enjoy it more." Meanwhile, Nadia Sawalha said she was initially "panic stricken" about the idea of the photograph, but it was this attitude that spurred her on to practice what she preaches to her daughters. "What the hell does it matter what we look like as long as we are smart, brave and kind?" On being asked to be involved in the project, Bryan Adams said he thought it was an interesting brief. He added: "They want to be natural, they don't want any retouching, and they want it to be real, and I thought, "OK! that sounds really good!""

The £1.1bn six-lane motorway aims to relieve congestion on the motorway between Magor and Castleton. But the Campaign for the Protection of Rural Wales (CPRW) has accused the Welsh Government of failing to protect the character of the landscape. The Welsh Government has set out mitigation works for the scheme. In evidence to the public inquiry in Newport on Wednesday, CPRW chairman Peter Ogden said the road would cause "irreversible damage" to distinctive landscapes. The Welsh Government's preferred route - known as the "black route" - cuts across the Gwent Levels and four Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). He said the government study given to the inquiry underestimated the impact of the motorway on the "undisturbed character and tranquil nature" of the area. A combination of lighting, traffic volumes and a proposed bridge crossing the River Usk, would create "unacceptable change" and "clutter" to the Gwent Levels, he said. The landscapes of Wales were "finite resources" and had been shaped over hundreds, if not thousands of years, he added. Mr Ogden accused the Welsh Government of breaching its own national policies with the proposals, including the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act. He said if the preferred route was to be built it would fail the planning sustainability test, which the Welsh Government is legally obliged to fulfil. The Welsh Government's counsel, Morag Ellis QC, accused Mr Ogden of not reading all the evidence with regards to the proposed route. She said without having read it, Mr Ogden was not able to come to the conclusion that the "Welsh Government was wrong". In its rebuttal, the Welsh Government said its environmental statement acknowledged the importance of the Gwent Levels and the "significant" effect the building of the road would have.

Wendy Fawell, 50, from Otley, died in the attack at the Ariana Grande concert on Monday. Adam Fawell, her son, said "We're all devastated. Mum was a wonderful woman. She'll be sadly missed." He also said: "I would like to add how much it means to us what everybody at home and in Manchester have done to support us at this time." His mother was "so kind and generous and touched the lives of so many", he added. Ms Fawell travelled with her friend Caroline and their children to the Manchester Arena.  Caroline was seriously injured. Ms Fawell was last seen in the foyer of Manchester Arena shortly before the blast. Her daughter, Charlotte Fawell, 15, was taken to hospital in Oldham. More than 100 people attended a vigil for Wendy Fawell in Otley on Tuesday evening. Jean Osborne, a family friend, said: "She was the kindest person you'd ever wish to meet.  She'd do anything for you. She was an awesome person. She'll be missed by many." Greg Mulholland, the Liberal Democrat candidate for Leeds North West, spoke of the "heartbreak" on social media. He said on Facebook: "Deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers with her family and friends." St Oswald's Primary School in Guiseley, where she used to work, also paid tribute on Twitter. Her family had issued an appeal on social media after she was reported missing asking for sightings of her. On Wednesday night, her friend Debbie McDowell, paid tribute on Facebook.

Twins Katie and Holly Moffatt, 19, from Chilton used their favourite colours, blue and yellow, and St Cuthbert's cross, a county symbol, in the flag. Their father James said he was proud that "in 100 years' time, their flag will still be flying above the county". The county was the only one in the north of England without a flag, according to the Flag Institute. Previously, there have only been flags representing the city of Durham and the county council. The winning flag will be registered in the Flag Institute's UK Flag Registry. Mr Moffatt said he had been hopeful after his daughters made the shortlist but did not think they would win in his "wildest dreams". The competition was organised by adventurer Andy Strangeway from Yorkshire, who has already established flags for the historic East, North and West Ridings of Yorkshire. A panel of senior county councillors chose the top six designs, which were then put to a public vote. Out of about 3,000 votes, the winning design had 26.51% - 10% more than the runner-up, Mr Strangeway said.

Billy Latham, of Bexhill, Sussex, had faced a manslaughter charge at Lewes Crown Court, but a judge discharged the jury and terminated the trial. Mr Latham, 36, was cleared when a not guilty verdict was entered. Peter Morley, 74, died 10 days after suffering a head injury during an alleged row in July 2014 following a reported dog attack on his own pet. Prosecution lawyers claimed there had been an assault during the incident in Turkey Road, Bexhill. After the trial ended on 9 October, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said it was considering appealing against the judge's decision to end the trial. A CPS spokeswoman said had lawyers decided against the move. She said: "This was a complex case which turned on the prosecution proving beyond reasonable doubt that the alleged assault caused the victim's death. "The trial judge ruled that there was not a sufficient link between the two and so the case was stopped." She added: "The CPS sought independent advice regarding an appeal of this decision. After careful consideration we have decided not to pursue an appeal."

The underground volcanic structures have previously been proposed as ideal sites for human settlements. Scientists have now assessed how stable these features might be, and found that tubes of 1km in size and bigger would be structurally sound. They could protect against the challenges posed by the lunar environment. Details of the work were presented at the 46th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC) in Texas. Unlike Earth, the Moon lacks a thick atmosphere and magnetic field to protect it against cosmic radiation. The absence of an atmospheric buffer also means that the Moon's surface receives more frequent meteorite impacts and more extremes of temperature. For example, the Moon's surface temperature can vary by several hundred degrees C during the course of a lunar day. But housing bases underground, inside lava tubes, could offer shielding against these risks. The lunar tunnels are expected to be larger than those already discovered on our planet, because of the Moon's lower gravity. No-one has yet definitively discovered an example on the Moon, but spacecraft have revealed cave entrances called skylights that may open into lava tubes. Using existing data, David Blair and colleagues from Purdue University in West Lafayette used computer modelling to determine the stability of lunar lava tubes with different widths, roof shapes and roof thicknesses. "It's the first modern re-assessment of how stable these can be," he told BBC News. He found that tunnels with widths of 1km and greater could remain standing beneath the lunar surface. In his poster at the meeting, he displayed a diagram showing his home town of Philadelphia sitting neatly within a lava tube with a width of 5km - which was found to be the rough theoretical maximum for stability. The underground structures are thought to have been formed during basaltic lava flows during the Moon's history. When the upper layer of a lava flow cools and hardens, molten rock may continue to flow beneath it. Once this drains, it can leave behind a hollow space. Long, snaking features on the Moon called sinuous rilles are thought by some to be lava tubes that have collapsed in on themselves. However, this interpretation is controversial among scientists. Nonetheless, researchers are continuing to look for clear evidence of their existence in spacecraft data. Follow Paul on Twitter.

Clashes erupted in many neighbourhoods as the rebels tried to consolidate their hold on territory they had seized so far and advance in other areas. The thud of heavy gunfire echoed around parts of the city that has become a critical battleground between the armed opposition and forces loyal to President Assad. Snipers from both sides exchanged high-calibre shots as the volleys from street battles increased. But the military's response marked a sharp escalation in this battle. Helicopter gunships spun through the skies throughout the day, firing bullets and rockets to the ground. Sustained artillery and mortar rounds pounded restive neighbourhoods. But it was what happened late in the afternoon that underlined the grave risk to the government of losing ground in what is Syria's largest city and its economic capital. First came an unmistakeable sound that has so far been absent in this conflict - the roar of fighter jets. What appeared to be Russian-made MiG planes arced through the sky. We watched as they dropped in, bombing and strafing rebel positions. Dead and wounded civilians and fighters were taken to hospitals and makeshift clinics as the human cost of this conflict continues to grow. The stakes for both sides here could not be higher and it is now clear that neither side is prepared to give way.

The Newcastle winger hopes Gordon Strachan's team can be the "surprise package" in Group F, which they kick off against Malta on Sunday. "Nobody expected Wales to do so well in the Euros and they did fantastically," said the 26-year-old. "Hopefully we can have the same sort of impact on our group." Scotland, 51st in Fifa's world rankings, are in a qualifying group with England (ranked 11), Slovakia (24), Slovenia (59), Lithuania (125), and Malta (176). Scotland begin their 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign away to Malta on Sunday. Who would you have in your starting XI? England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland all progressed past the group stage at this summer's Euros, but Wales went on to reach the semi-finals. Scotland were forced to look on from the outside after finishing behind Germany, Poland and the Republic of Ireland in their qualifying group, but Ritchie believes there were still positives to build on. "We were unlucky not to beat Poland, we had a fantastic performance against Germany at Hampden," noted Ritchie, who played in five of the qualifiers and has scored three goals in his 10 caps to date. "If you look at those performances, to do so well against top teams, there are a lot of positives to be taken. "It's going to be tricky to qualify because it's only one team [the group winners], and eight [best runners-up from the nine groups] go into the play-offs. But it's our aim and hopefully we can do so. "You can look at all the games and say, 'we should win this, we should win that', but nothing's won on paper. "The lads have to go out and perform. That's why in the Euros you saw so many surprise results. These so-called [minnow] teams that you should beat are sometimes the toughest games. "But as long as you concentrate and you're prepared for what's in front of you, you'll be ok." Having seen Oliver Burke up close in training, and playing for Nottingham Forest in the Championship, Ritchie believes that his international team-mate can thrive following his £13m move to Red Bull Leipzig, which made him Scotland's most expensive player. "The sky's the limit for him, if he has the mentality and desire to progress," Ritchie said. "If you look at his stature, he's very much like Gareth Bale. But I don't want to build him up to being like Gareth Bale, he's very much his own player. It's all about staying grounded and working hard if he's to fulfil his potential. "As a player, you don't think about the price tag, that's business that goes on behind the scenes that you're not part of. "He's a young lad who loves football and he just wants to play. That' s the best way for him to stay, dedicated and with the desire to get better and play at the highest level."

Coastguards and the Local Government Association (LGA) said people needed to assess risks more carefully, and not enter closed-off areas. Rescues have been needed for people who climbed too far down rock faces or were trying to retrieve their dogs. Walkers are also warned about the risk of rock falls from crumbling cliffs. Sunbathers were also warned to avoid sitting too close to the bottom of cliffs in case of falling rocks. The LGA, which represents more than 370 councils and 48 fire and rescue authorities in England and Wales, highlighted cases where firefighters and other emergency workers had had to rescue people who had become trapped while trying to save their pets, fallen down cliffs, or gone into sectioned-off areas. Following 118 Royal National Lifeboat Institution launches for people on cliffs in 2014, the number rose to 166 launches in 2015. Firefighters in England rescue people stuck on cliffs or beaches around once a month. The LGA is calling for a national campaign to highlight the risks of climbing, walking along or bathing near cliffs. Simon Blackburn, chairman of the LGA's safer and stronger communities board, said: "At this time of year, a walk along the cliffs can be lovely but, while the views may be picturesque, they come with their own perils. "It is irresponsible and negligent for any inexperienced climber to scale cliffs because not only are they jeopardising their own safety, they are also endangering the lives of firefighters and fellow rescue workers who are expected to come to their aid when they get stuck or fall." And he added: "Dogs should also be kept on a lead near cliffs where possible to help avoid them - and their owners - becoming stranded or getting into trouble."

Lt Gen Ben Hodges said Russia's "disregard for civilian casualties... is not the conduct of a nation that wants to be treated like a superpower". Russia's defence minister said on Thursday that its air force had killed 35,000 fighters in Syria. But Russia has been accused of using heavy weapons in civilian areas. It has consistently denied targeting civilians. Russia's aerial intervention in the Syrian conflict last year has helped the Syrian army capture eastern Aleppo. But it has further heightened tensions with the West, after it annexed the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine in March 2014. Aleppo evacuation nears its end Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said 162 types of modern armaments had been tested during the campaign in Syria, which included 18,800 aerial sorties. "What we see in Syria of course is a demonstration of capabilities and using weapons that are not necessary," Gen Hodges told the BBC. President-elect Donald Trump is known to want better relations with Moscow, but Gen Hodges said the US military was pushing ahead with plans to bolster its presence in Europe. "All the indications show we are going to continue our commitment," he said. President Vladimir Putin gave a bullish account on Thursday of Russia's military strength at the defence ministry's final meeting of 2016, describing it as "currently stronger than any potential aggressor". But he said Russia had to "strengthen the military potential of strategic nuclear forces, especially with missile complexes that can reliably penetrate any existing and prospective missile defence systems". Mr Shoigu accused Nato of doubling the intensity of its military exercises, mainly with the focus on Russia. He singled out the UK, accusing British armed forces of using Russian tanks and army uniforms to identify the enemy during exercises on Salisbury Plain in southern England. "The last time this way of training troops was used was by Nazi Germany," he added.

The film, in which Elba plays an escaped convict, made $24.5m (£15m) on its debut, almost double its budget. Feel-good release Dolphin Tale 2 entered the chart at two, while sci-fi caper Guardians slipped to third. Guardians is the biggest film of the year so far in North America, taking more than $300m (£184.7m). The Marvel release becomes the first film of the year to pass that milestone, while its box office takings around the world have reached the $600m (£370m) mark. Another notable new entry in the rundown is The Drop, starring the late James Gandolfini and British actor Tom Hardy, which landed in sixth spot after opening in a limited number of cinemas. No Good Deed, which co-stars Taraji P Henson as a woman terrorised by Elba's character, was hailed as a success by makers Sony, who marketed the film heavily prior to release. "It's a movie that we really loved and felt that it was going to win," said Rory Bauer, the company's head of distribution. He praised the leading pair's fantastic chemistry for making it a box office draw. Box office analyst Paul Degaradebian said the film is the first post-summer release to make an impression, just a week after the slowest weekend of the year so far. Overall ticket receipts were down 23% on the same weekend of 2013. The film chart is rejuvenated after last weekend, when there was no new release inside the top 10. Elba is best known for his portrayal of Nelson Mandela in Long Walk to Freedom, and playing the lead role as maverick police detective John Luther on BBC TV, which earned him a Golden Globe award in 2010.

Barack Obama's social media strategy in 2012 was hailed a success and Hilary Clinton announced her bid for the US presidency amid online fanfare. But how effectively is Welsh politics harnessing digital power? Expert Paul Shepherd described social media campaigning by the major Welsh political parties as "primitive". "It's active, engaging in places, but there is so much more that could be done by analysing social media data and reacting to the wealth of information held within," said Mr Shepherd, chief executive of social media agency, Coup Media. He said it reflected most of the digital campaigning across the UK, adding: "It's disappointing because the tools and skill sets are now available to really drill down into what people think and react accordingly." Plaid Cymru has garnered 16,400 Twitter followers and 15,244 "likes" on Facebook - the most received by any Welsh party. Mr Shepherd, whose company has offices in Newport and London, said the party had partly taken "the humorous route". One of its promotional videos, which has been viewed more than 6,000 times, begins with a young man confessing to his parents he has a personal secret. "There is something I need to tell you," he says, adding after a strained pause: "I'm voting Plaid". Figures uncovered earlier this year showed the Conservatives were spending Â£100,000 a month on Facebook across the UK. Mr Shepherd said the Welsh Conservatives had been tactically "good" at breaking down video content by topic, such as those on the NHS and the Budget. However, he said the execution was "poor". The party has 1,598 Twitter followers and more than 5,500 Facebook "likes". Welsh Labour's Twitter account, which has 6,350 followers, was "extremely active" with a large number of responses to its posts, including celebrity endorsements from the likes of Eddie Izzard, Mr Shepherd observed. Its Facebook page has 1,482 "likes". However, a Labour advert starring The Hobbit actor, Martin Freeman, had an "unexpectedly" low amount of views on the Welsh Labour YouTube channel. Welsh Liberal Democrats has 4,064 Twitter followers and more than 2,000 Facebook "likes". The party's promotional video on YouTube depicts leader, Kirsty Williams, addressing the camera, intercut with supporters giving positive comments from their doorsteps. Mr Shepherd said the party's Twitter feed was not as active as others but its Facebook page had a better mix of "pushing policy and attacking other parties". The Green party's Twitter account, which has 2,787 followers, is a "lot less confrontational" than its rivals and more focused on itself, he added. But its engagement was slightly lower, "with re-tweets and 'Favourites' not as high as some of the other parties". Mr Shepherd noted that the UK Independence Party's twitter account, which has under 600 followers, used "a lot" of re-tweets. He said this suggested the party was "curating rather than creating content", which could signify "a lack of confidence in policy or just lazy Twitter strategy". Mr Shepherd urged the parties to pay more attention to the way the public interacted with their online content. "It's all a huge source of intelligence that, when treated correctly, can give you the insights that will give the edge over the competition," he added. "It also shows the electorate that you're doing the most important thing - listening." Elizabeth Linder, politics and government specialist of Facebook UK, said last month social media would be "absolutely at the heart" of political campaigning across the UK.

In a book, Ms Betancourt recounts how she was repeatedly beaten, humiliated and threatened with death while being kept prisoner in Colombia's jungle. The book, Meme Le Silence A Une Fin (Even Silence Has An End), is released on Tuesday in several countries. It has caused a row in Colombia over what she wrote about fellow captives. In the book, Ms Betancourt recalls how Farc (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) gunmen seized her in southern Colombia as she campaigned for the presidency in February 2002. She reveals that it was at times very difficult to keep hopes alive in the hostile jungle. "We were handed the heaviest sentence a human being can be given, that of not knowing when it would end," she writes in the book, the AFP news agency reports. She also writes of tensions with her former campaign manager, Clara Rojas, who was captured at the same time as her and with whom she shared a cage. "You had to be very strong not to find relief from the guards' constant humiliations by in turn humiliating the person who shares your fate." Ms Rojas described some of Ms Betancourt's comments about Ms Rojas's decision to remain pregnant while in captivity in the book as "vile". Ms Rojas gave birth to a boy, fathered by one of the rebels, while being held hostage and was reunited with her child after she was freed in January 2008. Some of Ms Betancourt's fellow hostages have already written unflattering accounts of being held captive with her. Ms Betancourt, who also has French nationality, admits that she had a "fear of being alone. Fear of fear. Fear of dying". She says she was often tied up and beaten. "I was taken by storm, I had convulsions... my body and my heart stayed frozen during the brief moment of eternity. "But I survived," she writes. Ms Betancourt was released in July 2008, when the rebels were tricked into handing her and 14 other hostages over to soldiers masquerading as members of a humanitarian group who had volunteered to fly them by helicopter to a new location.

The party's leader Andrew Holness, 43, vowed to create jobs, grow the economy and improve education and healthcare. Labor won 33 of the country's 63 seats in a vote with a 47% turnout, beating the People's National Party of Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller. Jamaica is heavily indebted, but austerity measures introduced by Ms Simpson Miller have led to growth. "We don't take it that we have won a prize," Mr Holness told supporters. "The cost of victory is to keep the commitments we have made." During the campaign, Mr Holness said he wanted to turn Jamaica into "the Silicon Valley of the Caribbean". Youth unemployment in the country currently stands at 38%. In 2013, under Ms Simpson Miller, the country agreed to a four-year International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan package in exchange for swapping its debt. Inflation fell to a 48-year low during her time in office. Last year GDP grew by 1.3%, according to World Bank figures.

He made his appeal while celebrating Mass in three native languages after a new Vatican decree approved their use. The Pope also used the open-air service in San Cristobal de las Casas to warn about threats to the environment. Throughout his five-day trip he has condemned the evils of forced emigration and drugs. He has urged Mexico's leaders to provide "true justice" to suffering citizens. But on Monday he drew attention to the suffering of indigenous people in his address in Chiapas state. "On many occasions, in a systematic and organised way, your people have been misunderstood and excluded from society," the 79-year-old pontiff said after citing Popol Vuh, an ancient Mayan text. "Some have considered your values, culture and traditions to be inferior. Others, intoxicated by power, money and market trends, have stolen your lands or contaminated them. How sad this is," he said. "How worthwhile it would be for each of us to examine our conscience and  learn to say, 'Forgive me!'" Correspondents say that while Chiapas is the country's least Roman Catholic state, tens of thousands of people attended an open-air Mass in a sports field in San Cristobal de las Casas. Women wore colourfully embroidered dresses to deliver biblical readings and hymns in the Chol, Tzotzil and Tzeltal languages. The pontiff highlighted the deep appreciation of indigenous people for nature and said their community had much to teach the rest of the world. He also highlighted the need to care for the environment. "We can no longer remain silent before one of the greatest environmental crises in world history," he said, While Mexico is the world's second most populous Catholic nation after Brazil, only 58% are loyal to the Vatican in Chiapas in comparison to 82% in the rest of the country. Mexicans hope papal visit brings change On Tuesday, the Pope heads to the capital of the western state of Michoacan, a region scarred by drug violence.

The Ambassador car used to be one of India's most prestigious vehicles beloved by government ministers. But it has been out of production since 2014. It is not clear whether Peugeot will revive the brand. Based on the British Morris Oxford, the Ambassador was for three decades India's bestselling car. Peugeot has long been keen to get a foothold in India and was one of the first foreign car makers to enter the country in the mid-1990s when the economy first was liberalised. The Ambassador was from the 1960s to the mid-1980s a status symbol in India and was the only mass produced luxury car on the market. Although not renowned for its good looks, the car did win plaudits for its spacious interior and sound suspension, which was ideally suited to Indian roads. It was also one of the first diesel cars to appear in India and one of the first to have air conditioning. But its downfall was as spectacular as its rise - dropping from sales of more than 20,000 models in the mid 1980s to about 2,000 in 2013-14 when production was suspended. Read more: The car was also renowned for its idiosyncrasies.

Stuart Baker, 40, lured his victims into sexual conversations by posing as a 14-year-old girl on Facebook. Baker, who worked at Corby Business Academy, admitted 15 counts of sexual offences against children. He was jailed for three years at Northampton Crown Court. Judge Timothy Smith said his actions had a "devastating effect" on his victims. "You exploited these boys. This was a breach of trust as a high level teaching assistant," Mr Smith said. The court was told that the youngest victim was 13 and that one had been suffering from "extreme anxiety" as a result of the abuse. The grooming took place between January 2015 and August 2016, when a parent found a Facebook conversation and alerted police. Baker had previously pleaded guilty to 10 charges of inciting children to engage in sexual activity and a further five relating to the making and distribution of indecent images of children. He was banned from working with children and put on the sex offenders register indefinitely. A spokeswoman for Corby Business Academy said: "There were no prior concerns about this individual's conduct, or any history of complaints. "The police investigation has determined that none of the activities took place at school or using school equipment." Det Andy Rogers from Northamptonshire Police said: "Baker preyed on his young victims in the most appalling way and for his own sexual gratification, manipulating them online in order to gain their trust. "I am happy with today's result and I hope it goes some way to giving his victims and their families some comfort that justice has been done and that they can now start to rebuild their lives."

Sean Spicer on Monday handed a cheque for $78,333 (Â£62,786) to Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, who oversees national parks and monuments. Mr Trump had previously said he would donate his entire annual salary. But critics quickly pointed out his donation went to an agency he wants to cut by more than a billion in funding. Mr Trump's budget proposal calls for a 12% ($1.5bn) cut to the Interior Department, which oversees the National Park Service. Mr Zinke said he was "thrilled" by Mr Trump's donation, adding that it would be used for maintenance on the nation's battlefields. During the presidential campaign, Mr Trump vowed to give up his annual salary of $400,000 if elected. Last month, Mr Spicer said the president would donate his entire salary at the end of the year, asking members of the media to weigh in on what he did with the cash to "avoid scrutiny". But Mr Trump's move was still scrutinised on social media, with users noting that his donation would pay for something as little as two hours of security at his Florida estate Mar-a-Lago or half a day's worth of security at Trump Tower. The environmental group Sierra Club also was quick to respond on Twitter, calling Mr Trump's donation a "distraction that falls far short of the $12 billion needed to address the current backlog of park maintenance". "America's parks, and the people and economies they support, need real funding, not a giant fake check," the group tweeted. Meanwhile, some Trump supporters lauded the president's move. Mr Trump clashed with the National Park Service shortly after he sworn into office. The agency was temporarily banned from its Twitter account for retweeting images comparing Mr Trump and former President Barack Obama's inaugurations.

Media playback is not supported on this device The Lionesses beat Serbia 7-0 away on Tuesday, but had been told before the match that victory would not guarantee qualification for July's tournament. However, it emerged on Wednesday that England's win assured them one of the six best runners-up slots and a place in the finals in the Netherlands. "It is a bit curious. We were confident ourselves," said coach Mark Sampson. "We did the maths and were clear that we would be going to Holland next year, but of course you have to wait for the official governing body to give you the go-ahead. "It was nice to get that eventually this morning. With the players all together at the airport, we had a little celebration. Not on the pitch - but at Heathrow." England captain Steph Houghton told BBC Radio 5 live: "We would have liked to have known last night, but now we can concentrate on next summer." England will take part in an expanded 16-team tournament with hosts Netherlands, holders Germany, France, Norway, Spain and Switzerland also certain to be there. Scotland are one of seven teams assured of at least a runners-up finish in the qualifying groups, but who may yet face a two-legged play-off to make sure of their place. England coach Sampson says that he hopes his side can eclipse their third-placed finish at last year's World Cup. "The target has got to be to go a little bit further. We want to be a nightmare for whichever team we face and try to come back with the trophy," he added.

The campaign, launched by the socialist government, shows men embracing, with safe-sex slogans underneath. At least 10 mayors have decided to remove the posters, questioning the campaign's morality but denying homophobic motives. Health minister Marisol Touraine said she would fight back via the judiciary. The posters, sent to 130 towns and featuring a range of men of different ages and races, have captions such as "With a lover, with a friend, with an unknown. Situations vary. And so do modes of protection". Ms Touraine said the local bans were unacceptable. On Twitter she urged people to share the images, which, she said, was the best response against critics who wanted to censor them. Critics have called the posters "provocative" and "against good values and morality". Bruno Beschizza, the conservative mayor of Aulnay-sous-Bois near Paris, was among those seeking to block the images, but denied homophobia, saying he would have responded the same way if the posters had featured heterosexual couples. The mayor of the western city of Angers, Christophe Bechsaid, said he had asked for the posters to be taken down but "only in the vicinity of schools and the route of school buses". He said residents had complained, particularly parents. Conservatism is said to be on the rise in France, with right-wing politicians outperforming the left. Ex-Prime Minister Francois Fillon, a Catholic known for his traditional values, is the frontrunner to be the centre-right's presidential candidate. He goes head to head with Alain Juppe in a run-off vote on Sunday. When asked about the posters on Tuesday, Mr Fillon said did not consider the campaign to be very skilful and he understood why people might be shocked. However, he added that the fight against Aids was more important. On Wednesday, Mr Juppe told a French radio station he would not have banned the posters.

It was one of four William Burges pieces and was at risk of being sold to an overseas buyer unless someone could match the asking price of £225,000. Culture minister Ed Vaizey has placed the temporary bar on the vase, designed in 1874 and the last one still in private ownership. The export licence application has been deferred until 16 September. This could be extended to 16 February 2017 if a serious intention to raise funds to buy it for £225,000 is made. The four vases were designed for the summer smoking room in the castle's clock tower. One is in London's Victoria and Albert Museum, another at the Higgins Gallery and Museum, Bedford, while the third vase was subject to an export bar last year and was subsequently saved by the National Museum of Wales. William Burges was commissioned by John Patrick-Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute, to rebuild Cardiff Castle. The vases were designed to reflect the interior of the summer smoking room. Chairman of the Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Objects of Cultural Interest (RCEWA), Sir Hayden Phillips, said: "Apart from this vase's intrinsic quality, the opportunity is now there for us to retain the original quartet which would be a noble purpose, in the public interest and of great historical significance." Among the reasons for the RCEWA's recommendation were that the vase is of outstanding aesthetic importance and of outstanding significance for the study of the development of Burges's designs.

Or maybe it didn't. The subject in question was the tragic deaths of John Yuill and Lamara Bell. Lamara lay trapped in a car for three days after an accident on the M9. The initial accident was apparently reported but not followed up by police. On Tuesday, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland published a report into call handling by Police Scotland in the aftermath of that incident. The report made 30 recommendations to improve the system. But it was emphasised that Tuesday's report did not investigate police action with regard to the specific case on the M9. That task falls to the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner. Which resulted in the disjuncture at Holyrood today. Labour's Kezia Dugdale and the Conservatives' Ruth Davidson both pursued the first minister. Ms Dugdale said Tuesday's report amounted to a "damning assessment" of the Scottish government in that it was ministers who conjoined Scotland's forces into Police Scotland. The first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, said she was ducking nothing. All 30 recommendations had been accepted. All 30 recommendations would be implemented. But the report, she stressed, said nothing about the tragic events on the M9. She offered sympathy to the families involved, as did others. But were Scottish Ministers generically culpable? Both Ms Dugdale and Ms Davidson said that the establishment of Police Scotland had been mishandled. Ms Davidson went further and said that ministers were attempting, wrongly, to "pass the buck" onto Westminster in the shape of claims about cuts in expenditure. She said that the Scottish budget had increased in cash terms by some Â£661m while the budget for policing had reduced by Â£6m, year on year. In response, Ms Sturgeon noted that both Labour and the Conservatives had supported the introduction of a single police force. She argued that every effort had been made to smooth transition. Further, she said, one purpose of the merger had been to save money. It was not surprising, therefore, that the police line in the budget was lower. That did not mean services had been cut. Scotland's overall budget had faced a real terms cut, she said. It would have been decidedly helpful on this occasion to hear from Willie Rennie, the Liberal Democrat leader. His party opposed the concept of a single force from day one. However, the paucity of Lib Dems at Holyrood mean he is not entitled to a question every time the FM faces such inquiries. This, by sheer ill luck, was his fallow week.

On 1 February superstar singer Beyonce announced on Instagram that she is pregnant with twins - with 10.2 million "likes" (and counting) the photograph has become the most popular picture ever on the social media platform. For days people around the world chatted about the complex symbolism behind the picture, its possible similarity to awkward posed family photographs, and some even thanked Beyonce for crushing the myth that women must wear matching underwear. Now a 20-metre (60ft) high mural of Queen Bey in her flowing green veil and purple bra with blue pants has appeared in the trendy Collingwood district in Melbourne, Australia. The artist is Mark Walls, known as Lushsux on social media. He has made a name for himself by painting celebrities and politicians, including Kim Kardashian, Hillary Clinton and "Salt Bae" - the Turkish man whose videos of cutting meat made him a social media sensation in January. Mark Walls says he chose Beyonce to be his most recent muse because her photograph broke world records and he likes to "paint things that normal people like". "Street art used to be about real counter-culture - but now that has been normalised. What used to be radical is now just mainstream and not cool. "Beyonce is really the antithesis to what normal street art people like," Walls explains. But although he recognises the power of the photograph, he isn't exactly Beyonce's number one fan. "She's not bad or anything. She is talented - wasn't she in TLC before?" he commented. When it was pointed out that before she went solo, Beyonce actually used to sing in Destiny's Child not TLC, Wells replied that he really likes Destiny's Child too. The mural is already proving popular. Pregnant women have posted pictures of themselves posing in front of it, including Amy Jackett who is 40 weeks pregnant. Not everyone is happy though. One local resident complained that it is a "horrendous eyesore" that he hoped was defaced as soon as possible. But painting walls is not just a frivolous hobby for Wells, who used to work in a soft drinks factory. The paint for the Beyonce mural cost him A$8,000 (Â£4,850), and it took him five days of standing outside in the blazing summer heat. He says it's worth it. "Whether people like it or hate it, they take photographs and discuss it. "I enjoy laughing at some of the angry reactions". Walls claims that he gets unique commissions as a result of the global attention, including one from the Russian Foreign Ministry. In January he tweeted a photograph of his mural of the popular meme of a fake photograph of Russian President Vladimir Putin riding a bear. Political street art is popular in Russia, and the president is already the subject of numerous murals. "The next thing I knew after sending the tweet was a guy claiming to be in the Russian foreign ministry contacted me to ask if I would come to Russia to paint Putin. "I want to do it - I'm now trying to make it happen", Walls explains. Is he worried about what might happen if the mural does not meet the brief? He says he just hopes he won't meet a sticky end.

The sides meet at Celtic Park on Tuesday following England's 3-1 win against Slovenia in their latest Euro 2016 qualifier on Saturday. Scotland will be optimistic after a 1-0 win against Ireland on Friday. "We know there are a lot of stern tests ahead of us and it starts on Tuesday night," said Hodgson. A crowd of around 60,000 are expected to watch the latest edition of the world's oldest fixture. England won the last encounter 3-2 at Wembley in August 2013. "The Scottish fans are exceptional, especially at Celtic Park," Hodgson added. "That is all to the good. That is what we need." England have a 100% record in Group E after four successive wins and look set to progress to the Euro 2016 finals at a canter. "We have done all we can do in these first four qualifying games so we are reasonably satisfied with that, but we know there is a long way to go," Hodgson said. "A game like that in Scotland will probably tell me a little bit more about this team. "I hope the players who get a chance to play will be able to stand up to any crowd pressure and I hope they will learn from it. Any lessons we take from it will only be valuable in the future." West Brom striker Saido Berahino and Everton midfielder Ross Barkley are in line to start for England. Everton defender Phil Jagielka is expected to travel despite coming off with what appeared to be an injury in the 89th minute against Slovenia. Goalkeeper Joe Hart will not be involved after being allowed to return to Manchester City. Southampton's Fraser Forster looks to set to start in goal on the ground where he played for Celtic for four seasons.

In the two-page typed draft with handwritten notes, Lennon criticises the couple for their treatment of him and his wife, Yoko Ono. The attack is said to be in response to Linda's criticism of him not publicly announcing his departure from the band. The letter was sold at a US auction to an anonymous collector in Dallas. The opening paragraph makes reference to a letter Lennon received which he said made him wonder "what middle-aged cranky Beatle fan wrote it". He said:  "I resisted looking at the last page to find out—I kept thinking who is it—Queenie? Stuart's mother?—Clive Epstein's wife?—Alan Williams?—What the hell—it's Linda!" Lennon went on to respond to accusations he was "self indulgent" by criticising the couple for their treatment of him and Yoko. Using strong language, he said he hoped they realised the trouble "you and the rest of my 'kind and unselfish' friends laid on Yoko and me, since we've been together". Making direct reference to his former bandmate McCartney, Lennon questions the notion that "today's art" came about because of the Beatles. He wrote: "I don't believe you're that insane - Paul - do you believe that? When you stop believing it, you might wake up!" He also responds to the criticism that he did not publicly announce he was leaving the band, saying he was asked by Paul and former manager Allen Klein to keep quiet as it would "hurt the Beatles". In his last attack directed at Linda, he says he suffered because of her "insane family/in laws" before adding in capitals "God Help You Out, Paul". US auctioneers  RR Auction said it believed the letter was written around 1971 -  a year after McCartney publicly announced he was leaving the band. It said the letter, which sold for $29,843.45, "captures the intense rivalry between the two men in the months, and even years, surrounding the break-up of the Beatles".

The Swindon-based firm could not agree a deal over buying the freehold of the club's Plainmoor ground. GI wanted to build a new stadium for the Gulls on the outskirts of the town, paid for by redeveloping Plainmoor. But Torbay Council, which own Plainmoor, could not come to a deal over selling the ground to GI. The firm's period of exclusivity ran out on 31 July, having first made a bid for the club at the end of March. "We encountered a major stumbling block over GI's instance on the purchase of the freehold of Plainmoor which was not a part of the memorandum of understanding we had with them," chairman David Phillips said in a statement. "As a consequence we are now actively talking to and inviting interest in Torquay United from parties who share our vision and passion for this great club." Phillips led a consortium which took over the club last summer after millionaire owner Thea Bristow left. The group were forced to drastically cut costs, shutting the club's academy, giving up the training ground and getting rid of then-manager Chris Hargreaves and his assistant Lee Hodges. "We clearly need to return the club to the Football League, whilst building a sustainable and profitable business that operates without debt or the need for huge 'handouts' from an oil baron or sheik," added Phillips. "I and my fellow directors assumed our positions as custodians of the club without warning and without any experience or track record. "Our aim has always been to find genuine, passionate, honest and driven professionals to do the job of rebuilding this great club. "We are all, and have always been, willing to forget the money we invested if it meant getting the right people on board. That remains our sole focus. "We accept criticism and we know we may have not always have done things that others thought appropriate, however everything we have done has been our best to keep the ship afloat."

The RNLI lifeguards are in their final two weeks of training at Camber Sands before they start patrols on 27 May. Five men died during a day-trip to the beach in August 2016. A month earlier, two others also lost their lives. Families of the men believe a lifeguard service could have saved their lives. How to stay safe at the beach and the sea Joe Mitchell, RNLI Lifeguard Supervisor, said: "They've already completed a high standard of training and fitness tests, and these next two weeks are about really familiarising themselves with this beach.

Harris, 22, had also been offered a deal by Nottinghamshire, while a number of other Division One clubs made their interest known to the seamer. He had a clause allowing him to leave if Glamorgan were not in the top tier. He confirmed on Twitter: "Very happy to announce that I've signed a contract with Middlesex." Harris had said he needed to leave Glamorgan, who gave him his first-class debut as a 16-year-old in 2007, to further his ambitions of playing for England. Last week, he was selected in the England Performance Programme squad to tour India in November. Harris enhanced his growing reputation with a six-wicket haul against Australia A at Edgbaston earlier in August, watched by England selectors Geoff Miller and James Whitaker. Injury disrupted his sixth season with Glamorgan, where he ended with 10 wickets from four Division Two County Championship games. After making his debut as a 16-year-old, Harris became the youngest Glamorgan bowler to reach the 100 and 200-wicket milestones.

The hoard of some 70,000 coins and jewellery pieces was found by two metal detector enthusiasts in 2012. Jersey Heritage conservator, Neil Mahrer, is working on separating the coins in full view of the public at the Jersey Museum. He said so far experts had not been able to work out its origins due to an unusual "geometric pattern". Mr Mahrer said: "Our Celtic coin expert Philip De Jersey has been our go-to man for instant identification of anything strange and he usually mails us straight back with our answer but this coin has stumped him. "He reckons its Armorican but the geometric pattern is apparently unknown, which is always exciting." This is not the only discovery made as part of the restoration work. Mr Mahrer said on the first day of work on the hoard they found a "beautiful blue glass bead" next to a piece of silver wire. Dr Sonia O'Connor from Bradford University said the size of the hole was too big to be a necklace piece and was likely part of a larger object. Mr Mahrer and his team are working in a glass fronted room as part of the Treasure: Uncovering Celts and Romans exhibition at the Jersey Museum. It is designed to allow visitors to watch as the team remove gold and silver objects as well as coins from the hoard, thought to be worth about Â£10m.
