Chris Harvey, who was unemployed, charged up to 400,000% on loans, leaving people without food. The 53-year-old, of Hengoed, Caerphilly, admitted a string of offences, including theft and fraud. He was jailed for three years and four months at Cardiff Crown Court. Judge Michael Fitton QC told him: "You have an arrogant and controlling personality. "You spoke about these adults being fragile and vulnerable and what you have done is exploited them." Harvey, who has had children with nine different women, spent ten years taking benefits from eight "disadvantaged" family members and friends, including his brother. Prosecutor Timothy Evans said he took control of post office and bank cards and helped himself to more than Â£22,000 of their money - giving the victims smaller amounts to live on. "It was deliberate and sustained abuse of vulnerable members of his own family," he said. "He acted in a truly predatory way and was seen by these people as a friend. Harvey's offences were uncovered by an investigation by the Wales Illegal Money Lending Unit. When interviewed by police, he told officers "he was the patriarch of the family" who was carrying on what his father taught him. Harvey has been unemployed for the last 16 years and claims Disability Support Allowance for epilepsy, diabetes, asthma and depression. He pleaded guilty to four charges of fraud, three of theft and two of unlicensed money lending.

It is such a serious disruption that lessons have to be pitched at a lower level to accommodate the sleep-starved learners, the study found. The international comparison, carried out by Boston College, found the United States to have the highest number of sleep deprived students, with 73% of 9 and 10 year olds and 80% of 13 and 14 year olds identified by their teachers as being adversely affected.

East Street, Hammet Street and St James' Street in Taunton will be closed to cars during the day in the 18-month trial due to start in the autumn. Buses will still use East Street. Roger Habgood from Taunton Deane Borough Council said: "We're trying to improve the town for all of us." But critics said it was "stupid" and would increase congestion. The plans, which were posted on BBC Somerset's Facebook page, attracted nearly 300 comments with some welcoming the move but the majority fearing it would cause more congestion. Sheila Jordan wrote: "This is an absolutely stupid idea, how do the council think this will help the every day pressure of the roads and constant queues at rush hour, people are already fed up to the back teeth that nothing is being done to help this." Another tweet from Laura Webber said: "They're trying to pedestrianise the whole of Taunton town centre except for buses. As if traffic wasn't bad enough already." Mr Habgood said: "We're pretty sure it will be popular because it was when East Street was closed for other reasons and we want to make it a friendlier place to be. "It does fit with our larger objectives to improve the town and make it safer for cyclists and pedestrians." Colin Barrell, president of Taunton Chamber of Commerce said he was concerned disabled people would be unable to park close to shops. He also said retailers would be concerned about a loss of footfall. The trial will only begin once the Northern Inner Distribution Route (NIDR) project is completed, the council said.

The pair, who won the first point as Europe won at Gleneagles in 2014, tee off at 13:35 BST against Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed. Rory McIlroy and Andy Sullivan face Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler, Sergio Garcia and Martin Kaymer take on Jimmy Walker and Zach Johnson, while Thomas Pieters and Lee Westwood play Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar. The three-day event at Hazeltine National in Minnesota begins with the alternate shot foursomes and four fourball matches will follow, with the pairings to be announced on Friday. Saturday sees the foursomes and fourballs reversed before the contest is decided with all 12 players going head-to-head in singles matches. Englishman Rose and Stenson of Sweden, who won gold and silver respectively at the Rio Olympics in August, claimed three points as a pair two years ago, including their opening fourball match to set Europe on the way to a 16½-11½ victory. However, Spieth and Reed also went unbeaten last time out in Scotland, winning two fourballs and halving their only foursomes match. At Gleneagles, the foursomes were played after the fourballs and Europe won that format by a combined score of 7-1. European captain Darren Clarke has picked six rookies in his squad and England's Sullivan will be the first to play, going out second with Northern Ireland's McIlroy. They face Mickelson and Fowler who have played together just once before at the Ryder Cup, losing a fourball match in 2010. The only other rookie in the opening session is Belgian Pieters. He will play with Westwood, who is making his 10th appearance and is the most experienced member of the team. Westwood, 43, has won 23 points and needs just two more to equal the European, and Ryder Cup record of 25 set by fellow Englishman Nick Faldo. Clarke defended his decision not to play a third rookie in Masters champion Danny Willett, who has spent the past couple of days apologising for an "ill-timed and wrong" article written by his brother. When asked if he had intended to play Willett with Westwood in Friday's foursomes, Clarke replied: "No." He added: "Danny will be playing in the afternoon (fourballs). He is fine and is disappointed like all the guys not playing, but he understands what I am trying to do is for the team. "Danny may well play four times, the last being his Sunday singles match." Clarke also said that all his rookies "will play before the singles", however he added that the state of the match would dictate if they all played on Friday.

Muhammad Al Hussaini travelled from London to Belfast to give evidence on behalf of Mr McConnell. The 78-year-old, from Shore Road in Newtownabbey, County Antrim, denied two charges relating to a sermon he gave in a Belfast church in 2014. He was found not guilty at Belfast Magistrates' Court on Tuesday. Speaking on the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme, Muhammad Al Hussaini said it is not the role of the judiciary to criminalise speech, "however distressing it might be", unless it provokes violence. However, he added that it is now "time for reflection on the kind of language that would be appropriate for ministers of religion like myself - Muslim, Jewish and Christian ministers". "Of course {the comments} were hurtful but one of the greatest things that came out of the experience of coming over to Belfast was developing a strong friendship with Fr Pat McCafferty, a Catholic priest whose faith had already been quite strongly critiqued by Pastor McConnell. "He didn't go crying off to the police. He engaged with Christian grace and openness and honesty. They had very frank, robust disagreements but at the same time, he engaged in a manner that allowed a 20-year friendship. And in so doing, he maintained a moral high ground." Mr Al Hussaini condemned censorship of discussion on "the really dangerous phenomenon of rising, religiously motivated violence, persecution and extremism". He said: "When we see the heinous persecution of Christians and other minorities in the Middle East and other parts of the world, to constrain the theological discussion that we need to have as a country and as a world on these questions actually worsens community tensions. "We need to create an environment where we can talk quite frankly about these questions and in so doing, we need to defend civil society's role in this and not allow a creeping judicial role in constraining debate and discussion."

The polls are already years overdue and were scheduled for Sunday. They were postponed because of an ongoing stalemate between the government and a group of opposition senators over an electoral law. Haiti is the poorest country in the region and is still struggling to recover from a 2010 earthquake. Protesters lit piles of wood in the central neighbourhood of Bel Aire before marching to a wealthy hillside neighbourhood, where riot police guarded hotels, shops and Haiti's elections office. Some demanded President Michel Martelly's resignation for his "inability to organise elections in the country". Two opposition activists who had organised the protest were arrested by police for "public unrest and inciting violence". Mid-term senate elections in Haiti had been due in May 2012, while the municipal poll is three years behind schedule as Haiti slowly emerges from the earthquake which left much of the country devastated in 2010. In June, President Michel Martelly decreed that the elections be held on 26 October. The date was set after lengthy talks mediated by the president of Haiti's Bishops' Conference, Cardinal Chibly Langlois, intended to overcome the political deadlock between the opposition and the government. But after the National Assembly failed to pass an electoral law in time, the office of Mr Martelly announced another postponement on Sunday. No new date has been set, but the statement said that "President Michel Martelly, in his constant concern to guarantee political stability, promises to pursue consultations with the different sectors of national life in order to hold the elections as soon as possible". Opposition politicians accuse President Martelly of wanting to rule by decree - a likely scenario if no elections are held before the lower chamber's term runs out in January. The government argues that opposition politicians are also dragging their feet in the hope of extending their time in office without elections.

More than 650 properties were flooded and over 28,000 left without power over Christmas, with Maidstone, Tonbridge and Yalding being the worst affected. The document also calls for better overall communications and improved co-ordination between agencies. The report is due to be discussed by the Conservative-run council's cabinet later. The Blue Anchor Pub in St Mary's Platt, near Sevenoaks, was flooded and left without power. Landlady Rose Gill said: "We were supposed to be having a special family Christmas because I was diagnosed with cancer in August...it could be my last Christmas. "We did have them here, we sort of had a meal but no one enjoyed themselves because it was so cold. "We were going across the road, cooking the meal over there and walking it back over here. "It was like a trail of ants, backwards and forwards across the road." Gavin Ritchie, from Yalding, and his family were rescued by a dinghy. He said people needed information about when they should leave their homes. "You have no idea and no one's telling us it's getting worse," he said. "You're essentially left as a sitting duck with little or no time to actually save any possessions that you do have." Mike Hill, cabinet member for community services, said: "Ten days or so it went on, and people were working unsustainably long hours. "We'll at least look again at how we can bring in trained volunteers to supplement some of our work. "That's one lesson I've taken away from it. The other was problems of communication, it was a particularly difficult time."

The Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU) said it was looking into Timea Bacsinszky's win over Vitalia Diatchenko. Swiss Bacsinszky, the 15th seed, beat Russia's world number 87 6-1 6-1. The TIU said the alert did not mean match-fixing had taken place, adding: "There are many reasons other than corrupt activity that can explain unusual betting patterns." It cited "incorrect odds-setting, well-informed betting, player fitness, fatigue and form, playing conditions and personal circumstances" as factors which could prompt betting organisations to raise an alert. However, the organisation was critical of the manner in which details of the investigation were released, blaming a "leak". "Publicising match alerts is premature and inevitably draws unwarranted attention to the players involved in the match," it said. "Under the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program, all players are considered innocent unless proven otherwise at an independent anti-corruption hearing."

Rovers held the upper hand in the first half as James Norwood tested Jonathan Maxted with a first-time volley before Andy Cook had a header cleared off the line following a corner. However, it was the West Yorkshire strugglers who took the lead in the 33rd minute when Derek Asamoah smashed the ball into the top corner from outside the box. Tranmere wasted little time in grabbing an equaliser at the start of the second half, Norwood heading home Jeff Hughes' corner in the 49th minute.

The data was posted on a procurement website, revealing details such as health conditions and social care needs. Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) said it had "done everything we can" to remove the online material. The victims of the breach had been informed and an investigation is under way, the authority added. The council uses online procurement portals to post notices when urgent residential or non-residential care was needed for people with physical disabilities, learning disabilities or mental health needs. But staff had attached personal "pen pictures" of adults requiring such urgent help to notices available to the public on the supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk portal, dating from the start of 2017. The council's chief executive Pete Bungard "sincerely apologised" for the error, and said staff had already been retrained while an internal investigation was carried out. A spokeswoman for the authority said GCC had "worked with the procurement websites and search engines" and added she was "confident the council has done everything it can to remove the information". Earlier this year, GCC launched an investigation after it unwittingly revealed details online of a Â£500m contract for a controversial incinerator project.

The decision came after a local prosecutor said he would not bring charges against the officer. He ruled that Christopher Manney had acted in self-defence when confronted in a park by Dontre Hamilton. The launch of the federal investigation follows protests across the US over the deaths of two other black men. In both cases grand juries decided not to indict white police officers. One of the incidents occurred in New York, where Mayor Bill de Blasio has called for the city to heal after the subsequent fatal shooting of two police officers led to controversy over his role. In Milwaukee, Mr Hamilton's family had reacted with anger to the decision by County District Attorney John Chisholm not to charge Mr Manney, and appealed for peaceful protests. Mr Hamilton was shot after workers at a Starbucks cafe called police to complain about him sleeping in a park. According to Mr Manney, Mr Hamilton resisted arrest when he tried to frisk him, took the officer's baton and hit Mr Manney on the neck with it after the two exchanged punches. Mr Manney then shot him 14 times, saying later that he feared for his safety. Mr Hamilton's family said he had suffered from schizophrenia and had recently stopped taking his medicine. His death triggered a series of protests in Milwaukee and Mr Manney was dismissed over the incident - a decision the former officer has appealed against. Explaining his decision in a written statement, Mr Chisholm said: "Officer Manney's use of force in this incident was justified self-defense and that defense cannot be reasonably overcome to establish a basis to charge Officer Manney with a crime." The federal review will seek to determine whether there was any violation of civil rights law.

A rocket carrying vials of chemical compounds from Ardbeg's Islay distillery was blasted up to the International Space Station last year to test the effects of near zero gravity on the maturation process. Ardbeg has now released "Ardbeg Galileo" to celebrate the event. The experiment is believed to be the first of its kind. The micro-organic compounds will spend up to two years in space interacting with charred oak in near zero gravity conditions. The results will be compared with a control sample currently maturing on terra firma at Ardbeg's Islay distillery. Dr Bill Lumsden, director of distilling and whisky creation at Ardbeg, said: "So far so good. The experiment went live in January when the scientists broke the separating wall between the two components. "We will not know the results for another year or so but in the meantime we thought we would celebrate the experiment by the introduction of Ardbeg Galileo - our own earthly tribute to the scientific experiment taking place far up in space." The limited edition 12-year-old single malt whisky is a vatting of different styles of Ardbeg laid down in 1999. Ardbeg was invited in late 2011 by Texas-based space research company NanoRacks to take part in the two-year space experiment. The vials that were launched by Soyuz rocket from Baikanur in Kazakhstan in late 2011 contain a class of chemical compounds known as "terpenes". Ardbeg said the experiment could explain the workings of these large, complex molecules and help uncover new information about the change they undergo in a near zero gravity environment. The test should also help Ardbeg find new chemical building blocks in their own flavour spectrum and could have applications for a variety of commercial and research products.

The app caused uproar when the idea was unveiled last year because people could be added and rated without their consent. Now only members who have signed up will be visible on the site. The idea of a "five star rating system" for individuals has also been dropped. This will take the form of "recommendations" instead. Co-founder Julia Cordray told the BBC that users of the app will also be able to control which recommendations appear on their profiles. However, in April a premium service called The Truth License will enable those who choose the upgrade to see everything that has been said about other members, whether they have chosen to share those comments or not. It is likely to cost around $1 (Â£0.70) a month, Ms Cordray said. "We are going to hold everybody accountable to what they say about others," she said. The outrage that greeted the unveiling of the app last autumn had taken the firm by surprise, she admitted. It was branded "creepy" and "terrifying" by some web users. "We could never have predicted the backlash to the concept," she said. "But it was a positive thing because we ended up being able to give the people what they wanted." Despite the media storm 10,000 people volunteered to beta-test it, Ms Cordray added. The team made four main changes to the app's original functions: Additionally, users who are single can opt to grey-out the "dating" category so they can neither make nor receive recommendations in that area. Anonymity is not an option, users must use their Facebook log-in to access the app and they can be blocked or reported if they break the rules. A pin code will also be sent to the mobile phone of new members as part of the activation process. However, University of East Anglia law lecturer and privacy advocate Paul Bernal said he still had concerns about the re-launched app. "It has solved some of the problems but very significant problems remain," he told the BBC. "The fact that you can no longer rate people who aren't on it is probably the best thing they have done but it also means it's unlikely to succeed as it will be much more limited for the people who do join it. "The idea of de-activating your profile is illusionary because the data is still there and vulnerable," he added. "The Truth License over-rides almost all of their safeguards - if people say bad stuff about you that stuff could get out. "I actually think calling it the Truth License is unbelievably creepy."

A&E sisters Sharon Turner and Tracy White face a series of allegations dating back to 2003. Ms White refused to help undress one elderly woman patient, it was alleged. Last month a public inquiry led by Robert Francis published findings into standards of care at Stafford Hospital from 2005-2008. The inquiry led to heavy criticism of the Mid Staffordshire Trust. Nurse Helene Donnelly, who had given evidence to the public inquiry, told the Nursing and Midwifery Council hearing the two senior sisters had changed discharge documents and "bullied" other staff to do the same. She said: "If I or my colleagues refused to change discharge times, Sister[s] Turner and White would shout, cold-shoulder and warn [that] the department could be closed." Ms Donnelly said Ms White had also badly treated patients and refused to help undress one elderly patient in A&E, describing her as a "naughty monkey". She said Ms White had told one junior doctor not to examine the abdomen of a patient because she needed the bed. Ms Donnelly said she had also witnessed patients being transferred out of A&E in soiled sheets, with dried faeces, at the insistence of sisters White and Turner, to meet a "four-hour target".  The hearing was told that failure to treat, discharge or admit patients within that time led to staff being reprimanded by managers. The hearing was told that Ms Turner, who no longer works at the hospital, often swore in front of patients and made comments about their weight. She is also accused of describing one Asian junior doctor as "Osama's mate" and asking him if he had a bomb in his rucksack. Ms Donnelly said senior managers must have been aware of changes to records, because of gaps in paperwork. The two senior sister are accused of falsifying hospital data and instructing others to do the same, making inappropriate comments about patients and staff, and transferring patients before they had properly assessed. The pair both deny the allegations, which if upheld could lead to their being struck off. The fitness-to-practise hearing is expected to last up to two weeks.

The pup, who has been named Barnacle was less than a week old when he was spotted by painters at the lighthouse. Donna de Gruchy, British Divers Marine Life Rescue's Jersey co-ordinator, said he was too young to swim and should have still been in his mother's care. She said he was in good health apart from some light grazing on his head, chin and front flipper. When his mother failed to show rescuers took him to a local vet. Ian Cox, from New Era veterinary practice where the pup was taken, said: "It is a very young pup and that's why it's got the white fur. "It tends to be when there's quite stormy weather the pups will get into trouble and they do get very tired, very hungry and very dehydrated and they just wouldn't survive without assistance." Barnacle is being flown to RSPCA West Hatch in Somerset on Friday.  He will be raised there until he is old enough and strong enough to be released back into the wild, Ms de Gruchy said.

"I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids," he told People magazine. "I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time." Jolie, 41, filed for divorce from Pitt, 52, citing irreconcilable differences on Monday. Her lawyer, Robert Offer, said the decision had been made "for the health of the family". It is understood Jolie is seeking physical custody of the couple's six children and asking the judge to give Pitt visitation rights. Speculation is mounting over the causes behind the split, with one newspaper claiming Jolie was "upset with Pitt's parenting skills". Ms Jolie's long-time manager Geyser Kosinski told E! Online: "Angelina will always do what's in the best interest of taking care of her family." Madame Tussauds in London marked the split by announcing on Twitter that its mannequins of the pair have been separated. Twlight actor Robert Pattinson appears to have been placed between them. Pitt and Jolie - nicknamed "Brangelina" by fans - married in 2014, 10 years after meeting on the set of 2005 film Mr & Mrs Smith. It was Pitt's second marriage, having previously wed Friends star Jennifer Aniston, and Jolie's third after actors Billy Bob Thornton and Jonny Lee Miller. Singer Adele is among those to comment on the split, dedicating a concert in New York on Tuesday to the Hollywood couple. The 28-year-old told an audience at Madison Square Garden she had been "shocked" by the news and that it felt "like the end of an era". Jon Voight, Jolie's actor father, also expressed sadness, saying whatever caused the split "must have been pretty severe". George Clooney, who worked with Pitt on Ocean's Eleven and its sequels, expressed surprise when asked about the matter. "I feel very sorry to hear that," he told reporters at a United Nations event. "It's an unfortunate story about a family." Billy Bob Thornton, however, made no comment at a Hollywood event honouring actress Kathy Bates on Tuesday. The actor, who was married to Jolie from 2000 to 2003, left quickly afterwards, avoiding questions from waiting reporters. Pitt and Jolie most recently worked together on 2015 film By the Sea, a relationship drama about a couple trying to repair their marriage.

Media playback is not supported on this device Webber led after the final pit stops and the drivers were told to hold position to the end of the race but Vettel passed Webber after a tussle with 13 laps to go. Vettel has since apologised for the incident. Media playback is not supported on this device Lewis Hamilton took third ahead of Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg, who obeyed an order to stay behind. Ferrari's Fernando Alonso crashed on the second lap after breaking his front wing. The Spaniard's team-mate Felipe Massa took fifth, fighting past the Lotus cars of Romain Grosjean and Kimi Raikkonen in the closing laps after the Lotus team's gamble to try to do only three pit stops rather than four failed. Grosjean finished sixth ahead of Raikkonen, who won the first race in Australia last weekend. McLaren's Jenson Button was on for a points-scoring finish, possibly in fifth place, before he was sent on his way from a pit stop with a loose front wheel. The Sauber of Nico Hulkenberg took eighth ahead of McLaren's Sergio Perez, with Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne 10th. It was a race full of drama as the intra-team battles at Red Bull and Mercedes played out live. "The Malaysian Grand Prix team orders controversy at Red Bull is only the latest episode of a long-running drama between Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber. "It goes right back to 2010, when the two crashed while Vettel tried to pass Webber for the lead of the Turkish Grand Prix. "Since then, there has been a litany of further incidents at the team as the two men, both intensely determined and tough but very different in other ways, have battled for supremacy. "Adding spice to it is Webber's belief that, while they profess to allow them to battle it out on the track, the team is more behind Vettel than him. "The belief - widely shared within F1 - is founded on the way the team have responded to the various situations between their drivers. "In their battle in Malaysia there may even have been a bit of residual revenge on Vettel's part - the German and his champion at Red Bull, motorsport chief Helmet Marko, felt Webber was obstructive in last season's title-deciding Brazilian Grand Prix." The battle between the Red Bulls was resolved in an intense scrap as Webber rejoined from his final pit stop. Vettel was warned by team boss Christian Horner that he was being "silly" but the two then battled wheel-to-wheel around Turns One and Two onto Turn Four, where Webber appeared finally to yield to his team-mate despite having the inside line. Webber said: "After the last stop the team told me the race was over and we turned the engines down and go to the end. The team made their decision. Seb made his own decision and he will have protection as usual." Vettel was told over the radio after the race: "Good job, Seb. Looks like you wanted it bad enough. Still you've got some explaining to do." Webber had initially taken the lead at the first stops as the drivers came in to fit dry-weather tyres following a wet start. He had led the race throughout, with the two Red Bull drivers using the two available tyre compounds in different orders. Vettel chose to end the race on the softer 'medium' tyre while Webber was on the hard. Vettel said: "Obviously it is very hot and if there is something to say we need to say it internally." Red Bull motorsport chief Helmut Marko, a powerful champion of Vettel, admitted the battle had "got out of control". Meanwhile, there was controversy at Mercedes as Rosberg followed Hamilton closely in the final laps. Media playback is not supported on this device Rosberg asked the team to let him pass Hamilton, but was told "negative" by team boss Ross Brawn. When he complained again, Brawn told him that Hamilton - who had earlier been told to save fuel - was also being "controlled" and could also go faster. Hamilton admitted on the podium: "I can't say it's the best feeling being up here today. If I'm honest I really feel Nico should be standing here." Hamilton had provided an amusing diversion when, coming in for his second stop, he headed into the pit box of former team McLaren before being waved on towards Mercedes. "I did a Jenson," he said. "He did it a couple of years ago and I've done it today. Apologies to my team." The result puts Vettel into the championship lead by 11 points from Raikkonen. Webber is five points further adrift and ahead of Hamilton, Massa and Alonso, who is already 22 points behind Vettel, the man who narrowly beat him to the title 2010 and 2012. Alonso started third and was up to second, past Massa, by the first corner. But he tapped the back of Vettel's car in Turn Two. It was the lightest of touches but enough to break the front wing mounts. He held onto second place throughout the first lap but did not stop to change it and it collapsed heading into Turn One on the second lap, sending him into the gravel trap. Ferrari said the decision not to stop was made in the pits. Alonso wrote later on Twitter: "Bad luck today. As always over 19 races we will be compensated and we are ready to recover good points in the next race." Result: 1. Sebastian Vettel (Ger), Red Bull, 1hr 38min 56.681secs 2.

The NIHF says the UK VAT rate of 20% puts Northern Ireland at a major disadvantage. The rate in the Republic of Ireland is just 9%. Last month the Treasury said it did not accept the case for a UK-wide VAT rate cut for restaurants and catering. A Treasury spokesman said: "A 5% reduced rate on catering services is estimated to cost around Â£9bn to the Exchequer." Janice Gault, NIHF chief executive, said as the matter is not devolved the executive should "make the issue a staple" in communication with the Treasury. The NIHF has launched a new report called Tourism 2020 that also calls on the Northern Ireland Executive to bring forward "an updated and more cohesive" tourism strategy. James McGinn, the NIHF president, said that while the industry had benefited from events and campaigns such as NI2012 and UK City of Culture, there needed to be "movement around the marketing of Northern Ireland". A DETI spokeswoman said: "The tourism minister met with outgoing and incoming chairs of NIHF on Tuesday and discussed the issues raised in the Tourism 2020 document. "The minister notes that many of the points highlighted in the report fit with the overarching objectives of the Programme for Government and NI Economic Strategy and our specific commitment to grow tourism into a Â£1bn industry by 2020. "Our focus more recently has been on delivering the necessary tourism product, key events and global marketing campaigns to ensure that 2012 and 2013, which are crucial years for Northern Ireland tourism, are successful and bring maximum economic benefit to the local economy."

Children's scooters have been added to the basket of goods used to measure the UK's inflation rate. It has replaced the swing, which was being sold less, particularly during the winter, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said. The price movements of 700 goods and services are measured in 20,000 UK outlets to calculate inflation. Also added to the basket were gin, flavoured ciders, non-dairy milk (such as soya or almond), men's fitness tops, and jigsaw puzzles for adults. Gin comes back into the mix after a 13-year absence from the basket - the result of new craft distilleries popping up and rising popularity. Bicycle helmets also return to the inflation basket after a 12-year absence. Disappearing from the basket are alcopops, old mobile phone handsets, menthol cigarettes, and the fee for stopping cheques. The basket of goods reflects contemporary habits and technology to calculate the changing cost of living, as measured by the inflation rate. A series of changes have been made, but the replacement of the swing with the scooter is perhaps the clearest signal of how families have changed their habits regarding gifts for children. Officials at the ONS have decided scooters have moved on from being a fad to become everyday items. Last year, coffee pods and microwave rice were added to the basket, to reflect a long-term trend towards prepared foods. Nightclub entry fees and rewriteable DVDs were among the items removed from the calculations. Hello I'm an experiment from BBC News Labs. You can ask me questions about this story, like...

Tory peer Lord Ballyedmond, 70, died when the helicopter came down near the estate he owned in Gillingham, Norfolk. Pilot Capt Carl Dickerson, 36, co-pilot Capt Lee Hoyle, 45, and foreman Declan Small, 42, also died in the 2014 crash. The inquest heard the fog was so thick RAF rescue crews could not land. Mr Dickerson had warned the peer, also known as Dr Edward Haughey, the helicopter needed to take off "no later than 7pm" because of bad weather. It did not in fact take off until 19:22 GMT as Dr Haughey oversaw renovations of Gillingham Hall, including selecting paint colours, decorator John Savage told the hearing. Flt Lt Ian Smith, an on-call RAF search and rescue pilot at Wattisham airfield, Suffolk, told a jury inquest in Norwich that he was sent to the scene of the crash. But even with night-vision goggles, radar and military training, his helicopter was unable to land because of low visibility, he said. He added: "It was thick fog, we couldn't see anything below us." Barry Dolby, who was working at the house, watched the helicopter take off. He said: "I could not believe they took off in that fog. "I've worked on oil rigs and any time there was a sign of fog we would be stuck until it cleared." Painter-decorator John Savage, from Newry, County Down, said that at 19:15 GMT Mr Hoyle said: "We have to go now or we will be grounded." He said Dr Haughey then left, although Mr Hoyle did not seem "stressed or concerned". Plasterer Robert Graham said: "They said they needed to take off by 7pm or air traffic control would not let them fly because of the fog. "They kept checking their watches." Dr Haughey, 70, who lived at Ballyedmond Castle in Co Down, Northern Ireland, had an estimated wealth in excess of Â£800m. Best known as chairman and founder of Norbrook Laboratories, the largest privately-owned pharmaceutical company in the world, father-of-three Dr Haughey had a range of other business interests. An Air Accidents Investigation Branch report has already found the crash may have been triggered by an error in perception along with a lack of training and procedures. The inquest continues.

Ronny Kynes and David Williams scored two tries apiece for the Steelmen, who had lost to Pontypridd in last season's final. Bradley Coombes and Seb Davies scored tries for Pontypridd in between Dan Haymond crossing for Ebbw Vale's fifth try. Vale's first title denied Pontypridd a fifth successive success. Pontypridd had topped the regular-season table to automatically reach the final at Sardis Road. Ebbw Vale finished third, but won their play-off at second-placed Llandovery to earn the right to challenge for the crown. Ceri Sweeney missed a penalty for Pontypridd before flanker Ronny Kynes scored the game's opening try and Dai Langdon converting. Kynes was yellow carded but Ebbw Vale extended their lead before the break through Williams' try. Man of the match Kynes crossed for his second try of the game and his 19th of the season to extend the Steelmen's lead, with Langdon adding the extras. Wing Williams also ran in a second try with Langdon's fourth successful conversion of the afternoon making it 30-0 to the visitors. Coombes' try was Pontypridd's first points of the game but Haymond ran 80 metres to score a fifth try for Ebbw Vale, which Langdon converted. Davies' try for Pontypridd was the final act of a game which Ebbw Vale fully dominated and deserved to win.

When play finally got under way at 16:00 BST because of a wet outfield at Derby, visiting captain Joe Leach bowled Ben Slater in the first over. Jack Shantry removed Shiv Thakor (23) and teenage paceman Josh Tongue tempted Wayne Madsen to edge behind for 11. But 26-year-old Reece finished on 53 as Derbyshire closed on 111-3. Meanwhile Derbyshire director of cricket Kim Barnett has revealed they will be without South African fast bowler Hardus Viljoen until the end of June with a hip injury. "We had a meeting yesterday when it was decided he wasn't fully fit and I think he knew that. We just want him to do himself justice," Barnett said. "It's no use him going out at 70% fit and not bowling to his standards so we must get him fully fit and healthy to do what he can do when he comes back." Viljoen, 28, was expected to make his Derbyshire Championship debut, after featuring in five of their One-Day Cup group games. Worcestershire batting coach Kevin Sharp: "It was probably just about even. Our lads have been a bit unfortunate because they bowled quite well and perhaps on another day they would have got the nicks. "It's a used pitch so there could have been an argument to say you want to bat first but there's been so much dampness over the last two days and since our One-Day Cup game here on Tuesday night the pitch has been pretty much covered up. "We are all excited about Josh Tongue. He's a young man with a very good attitude, he's got a very good repetitive action, he hits the seam and he hits the splice which are all very good attributes to have."

The artwork, titled DHEAD, was originally donated for the fundraising ARTAID 98 exhibition in the city in 1998. His portrait was auctioned during Lyon & Turnbull's contemporary paintings sale, making Â£22,500. It had been valued at between Â£3,000 and Â£5,000. Bowie died on 10 January this year after a battle with liver cancer. A one-time art school student, Bowie's paintings focus on abstract head studies influenced by the bizarreness and esotericism of 1930s era German Expressionist art. Charlotte Riordan, picture specialist at Lyon & Turnbull, said: "Best known of course as a singer/songwriter, Bowie's entire career was spent actively blurring the lines between the art forms of music, performance and design; the visual playing as big a part as the aural."

Rose Property Consultants' plans for Nene Park, which includes the former Rushden and Diamonds ground, include a multi-use football facility along with entertainment and retail zones. Up to 170 jobs could be created if the plans go ahead. A spokesman for the developer said it was "not cost effective" to keep the football stadium. Tim Morris said: "No one yet has disagreed that the stadium is not economically viable." Rushden and Diamonds was founded by Max Griggs in 1992 by the amalgamation of Rushden Town and Irthlingborough Diamonds. After building a 6,500-seat state-of-the-art stadium in Irthlingborough, the club was half way up the third tier of football when Mr Griggs pulled out in 2005 for financial reasons. The club was sold to a supporters' trust but it eventually folded in 2011. Shortly afterwards, Kettering Town played at the ground for 18 months but could not afford its long-term upkeep. East Northamptonshire District Council had said any new plans for the site must contain a leisure facility. Rose Property said it was "too early" to say how much the project would cost but the plan would be a "complementary offer" to Irthlingborough town centre. The plans would "help to publicise [its] shops and provide additional car parking" while "elements of the famous heritage of Rushden & Diamonds FC will be conserved". Comments from the public will be taken into account when preparing a planning application, which could go before the council before the end of the year, the developers said. The proposals will be displayed at Huxlow Science College on 19 and 20 September.

Vaughan said England did not "respect" Test cricket after their heavy defeat by South Africa in the second Test. "It has been the story of the Test team for two and a half years," Vaughan told BBC Radio 5 live on Wednesday. "They don't seem to be able to read the situation - they have this gung-ho approach." Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live's Tuffers & Vaughan programme, Vaughan added: "For such a long period of time they have played as if the only way to approach it is to hit the ball to the boundary. You have to be able to wear the opposition down. "Jonny Bairstow came out at number five batting on roller-blades, trying to smash everything to the boundary. I don't think they respected the way Test cricket needed to be played. England slipped to a 340-run defeat - their eighth in 13 Tests - and batted for just 96.1 overs across both innings. Root had called the comments "very unfair" in his post-match news conference. But, preparing for his third Test match as England captain on Thursday at The Oval, said he had since spoken to his mentor Vaughan and accepted the comments were "a little bit" constructive. "It's his job, isn't it, to be opinionated and say what he thinks," the Yorkshireman said. "At the time I was very disappointed with the way we played and caught a little bit off guard with the question. "It felt a bit personal at the time, but on reflection you have to understand people have an obligation to do their job and say how they feel they see it." Vaughan added: "I'm passionate about the England team and I get frustrated when I see a team with so much talent. I don't think they've got the make-up of the side right. "The batting has been a weakness for a while now. The talent is there and there is all the potential to be a brilliant team, but you don't become a brilliant team without the brains and being smart. "You've got to have a group of players that are very smart in the middle and one week they play smart cricket and the next they don't. They should be more consistent than they have been over the last year or so. "They had to take a lot of criticism and rightly so, but they could quite easily turn it around this week." The four-Test series is level at 1-1 after South Africa beat England at Trent Bridge following their defeat at Lord's.

In a memo to staff, leaked to tech news website the Verge, he said that bullying behaviour on the network was driving users away. He promised tougher action to deal with abusers. A series of high-profile users have quit Twitter in recent months, citing online abuse. In his memo to staff, Mr Costolo wrote: "We suck at dealing with abuse and trolls on the platform and we've sucked at it for years. "It's no secret that the rest of the world talks about it every day. We lose core user after core user by not addressing simple trolling issues that they face every day." His words echo a December blog post in which the company admitted that it "was nowhere near being done making changes in this area". It promises that, in coming months, it will bring in further user controls and improvements in the way users can report abusive accounts. The debate over so-called internet trolls - people who use social media accounts to abuse others - has been attracting headlines for several years now. The daughter of actor Robin Williams signed off Twitter following taunts about her father's suicide. Screenwriter Jane Goldman deleted her account following abuse of her family. And Sara Payne, whose daughter Sarah was abducted and murdered in 2000, said she was leaving the social media network after years of online harassment. Increasingly victims of trolling are confronting their bullies. When a troll targeted US journalist Lindy West, setting up an account in her dead father's name, she wrote about it. After describing some of the abuse, she received an email from the troll, apologising for his behaviour. And Isabella Sorley, who was jailed after posting abusive messages on Twitter about feminist campaigner Caroline Criado-Perez, has been attempting to make amends, appearing in media interviews condemning her own words and urging other young people not to follow in her footsteps. Twitter's confession about how it deals with online abuse comes ahead of rumours that it is about to strike a deal with Google to make its 140-character updates more searchable on Google. The deal may be confirmed when the firm releases its financial results for 2014, expected on 5 February.

Ex-England midfielder Cole, 33, has joined Coventry City on loan from Villa, who are 19th in the table with four points from nine games. Grealish, 20, has scored one goal in six top-flight appearances this season and Cole said: "The gaffer loves him. "He has gone beyond potential and is an important cog in the wheel at Villa." Grealish made his Villa debut in the penultimate game of the 2013-14 Premier League season but played a more prominent role last season as the club narrowly avoided relegation and reached the FA Cup final. He recently opted to play for England, despite having turned out for the Republic of Ireland at Under-21 level. Cole, a former West Ham, Chelsea and Liverpool player, added: "When you step into that world of Premier League football the expectancy levels are massive and someone with the ability levels of Jack, the expectancy levels go up so you need to have the mentality to cope. "It is important that the club build the team around him. I think they have the perfect gaffer for him. "He is going to be a massive player for Villa over the future." Villa won their opening league game of the season but have since lost seven and drawn one of their following eight games. Sherwood has come under pressure but Cole has backed the 46-year-old to avoid relegation with the West Midlands club. "The manager has a lot of qualities he brings to the table and he is also getting better everyday," said Cole. "He is learning the trade himself. But he is definitely good enough to keep Villa up."

The possible offer is pitched at £20.80 per share, which would value WS Atkins at £2bn. The UK firm says the bid is sufficiently high that it may recommend it to its shareholders, assuming a firm offer is made by 1 May. Meanwhile the FTSE 100 index fell 40 points to 7,283, down 0.4%. The biggest fall of the day came from Imagination Technologies, whose shares plunged 62% to 103p after tech giant Apple said it would end a deal to use its products. The move by Apple, Imagination's largest customer, means the loss of lucrative royalty payments. Imagination relies on Apple for about half of its revenues, with the US giant using the UK firm's chip technology in its iPhones, iPads, and iPods under a licensing agreement.

Unite members have been taking action at Faslane and Coulport since March in a dispute with employer Babcock Marine. Unite said it had learned of the MoD plans on Wednesday. The MoD said it was not involved in the dispute but Royal Navy staff would step in "where there is a safety issue". The Faslane base on the Clyde is home to the UK's fleet of Trident nuclear submarines. Unite members voted to take industrial action after the union accused Babcock of a "systematic campaign to undermine workers" in order to push through further outsourcing at the bases. Babcock has said it "absolutely" refutes the allegations. Talks intended to resolve the dispute were held recently at the conciliation service Acas but broke down after two days. The union represents a range of workers at Faslane and Coulport, including cleaners, housekeepers, logistics operatives, drivers and mail staff. It also has members in radiation monitoring and strategic weapons support roles. Unite regional officer Stephen Dean said: "It is outrageous for the Ministry of Defence to get involved in a trade dispute in this way, and a clear attack on the democratic rights of our members. "The MoD is misusing the nation's defence staff - ordering them in to help an employer who is attacking workers' rights." An MoD spokesman added: "This is an issue between Babcock and their employees. Royal Navy personnel are not taking over any civilian posts but where there is a safety issue they will step in." In a statement, Babcock said: "We support the Ministry of Defence and Royal Navy with the delivery of safe and secure operations daily at HMNB (Her Majesty's Naval Base) Clyde. "The current dispute with Unite does not change that focus. "We have written to Unite at a national level to reiterate our fully considered offer which addresses all of the concerns raised at the initial ACAS meeting and are continuing to work hard to find a resolution to this dispute."

The black and white male cat, called Jordan, is owned by friars at the university's Catholic Dominican chaplaincy. But he spends much of his time asleep on his favourite turquoise chairs in the library. Jordan, who was last seen on 13 March, has a large online following and in 2014 was issued with his own matriculation card by staff. The university press office issued an alert via Twitter on Tuesday, asking people to keep an eye out for Jordan, who is known to frequent George Square. Students have since posted worried messages on a Facebook page set up for the cat. Louise KrÃ¼ger wrote: "Come back library cat!

The canteen at Kilbride Central near Doagh is also the assembly hall, sports hall and P7 classroom. The video has been made for the attention of the Department of Education and North Eastern Education Board. The school is appealing for a new hall or an extension to ease its plight. Teacher Julie West said every day around lunchtime is a logistics nightmare. "Each day there's quite a lot of disruption, because it's not just a dinner hall at dinners, there's a lot of time required to set up for the dinners," she said. "I would estimate that I would lose at least 30 minutes teaching time every day. "But then we have to up sticks, move all the tables, chairs and go somewhere else in the school, but there isn't really anywhere else to go. "There's been days when we've had to squeeze into the staffroom." Rebecca McCrea and June McNeil are classroom assistants and lunchtime supervisors. "It's very disruptive and it's very noisy actually," June said. "You could have 70 or 80 children in this tiny little room." Rebecca added: "They come back, the food's all over the floor, it's just not a very hygienic situation really. "You shouldn't have to have food served in a classroom under any circumstances. It's supposed to be education in the 21st Century, it's ridiculous." The video was the idea of principal Christopher Currie. "I came home at night to my wife griping about the situation," he said. "She said 'there's no point griping or giving off to me about it, you have to tell people about it'. "I decided there's only one way to do that, I'm going to show the North Eastern Board, I'm going to show the Department of Education and whoever is interested in looking at it, I'm going to show them how bad the situation actually is. "Unless you work in the school on a daily basis, it's very easy to say we have a space shortage, but until you see it on the screen and you see it for real for yourself, it's not possible to imaging how bad it is."

It means importers will not be able to get hard currency to buy a list of 40 items ranging from rice to cement. The list includes Indian incense, plastic and rubber products, soap and even private jets. It has also restricted access to the interbank currency market for the purchase of foreign currency bonds. In April, the central bank limited the amount that Nigerians could spend on credit cards abroad. The Nigerian currency, the naira, has plunged because of the fall in the oil price. The central bank has spent $3.4bn propping it up since it fixed the exchange rate in February and tightened trading rules to curb speculation. "We see this policy move as confirmation that foreign exchange supply remains extremely tight. But more worryingly, it suggests that the central bank remains reluctant to devalue the naira," said Yvonne Mhango, sub-Saharan Africa economist at Renaissance Capital. The central bank has said in the past that devaluing the naira by allowing it to float freely on the currency markets is not an option. The naira, which was trading at 198.50 to the dollar on the interbank market, was reported to be trading close to 220 on the black market in the commercial capital, Lagos, on Wednesday. Analysts said the latest measures meant importers would increasingly turn to the black market to buy dollars. Cobus de Hart of South Africa's NKC Africa Economics said: "The decision to, in effect, introduce additional capital controls does not bode well in relation to investor perception and may also adversely affect domestic business operations and costs."

Several athletes have come under scrutiny after stolen medical records showed they used banned substances for medical reasons under TUE rules. Briton Froome, 31, said the system is "open to abuse" and must be addressed "urgently" by cycling's governing body, the UCI, and the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada). "I have never had a 'win at all costs' approach in this regard," the Team Sky rider said in a statement. "I am not looking to push the boundaries of the rules. "I believe that this is something that athletes need to take responsibility for themselves, until more stringent protocols can be put in place." Froome and Sir Bradley Wiggins, a former team-mate at Team Sky, were among the athletes whose medical records were made public by hacking group Fancy Bears. There is no suggestion any of the athletes named have broken anti-doping rules. Froome, whose TUEs for prednisolone in May 2013 and April 2014 were revealed, said: "There are athletes who not only abide by the rules that are in place, but also those of fair play. "I take my position in the sport very seriously and I know that I have to not only abide by the rules but also go above and beyond that to set a good example both morally and ethically." Media playback is not supported on this device Wiggins, Britain's most decorated Olympian and the first British winner of the Tour de France in 2012, has been criticised for the timing of his TUEs, shortly before major races in 2011, 2012 and 2013. He said he took the anti-inflammatory drug triamcinolone for allergies and respiratory issues, telling the BBC on Sunday that he was not trying to gain an "unfair advantage" from being allowed to use an otherwise banned steroid. Team Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford on Monday said the team did not "do not cross the line" over performance-enhancing drugs and that he had complete trust in their doctors.

The event in Perth has three strokeplay rounds and two cuts, before the top 24 contest a six-hole knockout matchplay. Foster, the 41-year-old world number 657 whose only European Tour title is the 2003 Dunhill Championship, had seven birdies in his 66 in Australia. Australian Brett Rumford matched him, with England's Robert Dinwiddie one of 10 players one shot behind. Jordan Smith, the 24-year-old English rookie who finished third behind Graeme Storm and Rory McIlroy at the South African Open last month, is a further shot back at four under after three consecutive birdies in his 68. "It's a brand new event for everyone so you break your mentalities," Foster told the European Tour website. "I think that's maybe why you'll see better scoring, because everybody has got to aim for that highest spot - and the higher people aim, results tend to get better." There are 156 players at the tournament at Lake Karrinyup Country Club, with the leading 65 after 36 holes making it through to the weekend. A further cut will be made after 54 holes of strokeplay and if there are players tied for 24th place, a sudden-death play-off will determine who qualifies for the final day. The top eight players after three rounds become seeds and receive a bye in Sunday's matchplay finale, with the other 16 players randomly paired together to contest the opening matches. Any matches tied after six holes will go to sudden death on a purpose-built 90-yard hole that uses the 18th green.

Mr Hollande also called for an end to the decades-long US trade embargo against Cuba. He said the embargo badly damaged development of the island. Mr Hollande is the first French president to visit Cuba since 1898, and the first Western European leader on the island since the 1980s. President Hollande and Fidel Castro spoke for an hour, according to Liberation journalist Laure Bretton who tweeted his comments (in French) after the meeting. "I had in front of me a man who had made history," Mr Hollande told her. He later met Fidel's brother and current President Raul Castro. Speaking earlier on Monday at the University of Havana, Mr Hollande said France would do its utmost to ensure that "the measures which have so badly harmed Cuba's development can finally be repealed". He was referring to the US trade embargo, which remains in place, although relations between the US and Cuba have improved in recent months. The diplomatic thaw between Cuba and the US was announced in December. Mr Hollande announced plans to double the number of scholarships to enable Cuban students to continue their studies in France, as part of attempts to increase academic and scientific co-operation between the two nations. The president's first appointment on Monday morning was to bestow France's highest award, the Legion of Honour, on the head of the Catholic Church in Cuba, Cardinal Jaime Ortega. The Cuban Catholic Church has acted as a mediator between dissidents and the Communist government. The BBC's Will Grant in Havana says that unlike some other European countries, France has long maintained reasonably good relations with Cuba and wants to benefit from the new economic openness. After landing at Havana airport, Mr Hollande said the visit was a moment of "great emotion". Before arriving, he told reporters that France sought to "be the first among European nations, and the first among Western nations, to be able to say to the Cubans that we will be at their side if they decide themselves to take needed steps toward opening up". Mr Hollande later travelled to Haiti. A number of high-ranking US and European politicians have visited Cuba since 17 December, when the US and Cuba announced they would move towards re-establishing diplomatic ties. They include New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, EU Foreign Policy chief Federica Mogherini and top diplomats from Japan and Russia. But Mr Hollande is the first Western European leader in Cuba since Spanish Prime Minister Felipe Gonzales in 1986.

Oksana Sevastidi left Moscow's Lefortovo prison on Sunday morning. She was convicted last year over a 2008 text message to a friend in Georgia in which she mentioned that Russian tanks were moving towards Georgia. She denies any wrongdoing. Georgia and Russia went to war over Georgia's breakaway South Ossetia region in 2008. Tens of thousands of Georgians who lived in South Ossetia were forced to flee their homes during the brief war in August that year. Russia later recognised South Ossetia and Abkhazia, another Georgia's breakaway region, as independent states. On Sunday, Oksana Sevastidi told waiting reporters that she was grateful to everyone, but refused to make any further comment. Last December, President Putin described the court verdict in her case as "quite tough". He pardoned her earlier this month. Despite this, Oksana Sevastidi's lawyer said he would be demanding the cancellation of the verdict and the acquittal of his client.

Early Years Minister Mark McDonald announced the move in response to two reports on child protection. He said the "archaic language" in the current 1937 Children and Young Persons Act "has resulted in difficulties in prosecuting offences". Mr McDonald will also chair a national child protection action group. Opposition parties broadly welcomed the plans, while raising questions about specific issues. The announcement follows the findings of an independent review of the child protection system, led by former Crown Office chief Catherine Dyer, and the government's child protection improvement programme report. Ms Dyer's report concluded that the child protection system "works well" for young people identified as being at risk, and is "capable of delivering the support needed". However, it noted the "complex and sensitive" issues dealt with and the "new risks emerging". It recommended the establishment of a national child protection leadership group, the development of a national child protection register, and a set of national standards for those undertaking significant case reviews. In a statement to MSPs, Mr McDonald said all 12 recommendations from the report would be taken forward. The new criminal offence would be an amendment to the Children and Young Persons (Scotland) Act 1937, the "archaic" wording of which Mr McDonald said was making it difficult to prosecute abusers. He told members: "Catherine Dyer's review concludes that, in general, our child protection system works well. However, both she and the Child Protection Improvement Programme Report have identified opportunities to strengthen all aspects of the system to better protect our children. "I have made clear where I expect to see improvements in Scotland's child protection system, particularly in relation to consistency of approach. "If in a year's time there is little evidence of real and substantial progress then I will not hesitate to bring forward legislation to provide an appropriate statutory underpinning." During the subsequent questions, Scottish Conservative Miles Briggs raised the "worrying trend" of human trafficking, asking if there would be specific measures to tackle this. Mr McDonald replied that the government has a "zero-tolerance" approach to trafficking, and is raising awareness of the services available to victims. Labour's Iain Gray welcomed any progress towards protecting children, but raised concerns about the speed of "what has been quite a lengthy process". Mr McDonald told him he had "expectations around the pace of improvement I expect to see". Scottish Green MSP John Finnie praised the government's record of engaging with the views of looked after children, while Lib Dem Liam McArthur welcomed the willingness to accept the recommendations of the reports.

In a joint statement, the pair acknowledged their relationship had been volatile. "Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love," it read. Lawyers for Heard filed a motion on Tuesday to dismiss a temporary restraining order against Depp. News of the divorce settlement came just a day before a hearing regarding the restraining order was due to begin. The temporary order had ordered Depp not to contact Heard, and stay 100 yards away from her, after she accused him of striking her and throwing a mobile phone during a fight earlier this year. The Hollywood star, 53, had always denied abuse allegations made by his former wife. Heard, 30, filed for divorce in May and obtained the temporary restraining order against Depp a few days later. The couple, who were married for just under 18 months, also came to a financial settlement as part of their divorce. Unconfirmed reports put the value of the settlement between $7 million (Â£5.4 million) and $7.7 million (Â£5.9 million). "Neither party has made false accusations for financial gain. There was never any intent of physical or emotional harm," the statement continued. It said Heard would be donating proceeds from the divorce settlement to an undisclosed charity. Neither of the actors said they would comment further on the case. Depp has two children from a previous relationship with French singer and model Vanessa Paradis.

Cavubati, 28, was also ordered to pay £500 costs following a Rugby Football Union disciplinary hearing on Tuesday. "I would like to apologise to my team-mates, the coaches and supporters," said the Fiji international. "I was struggling to breathe and reacted in a way I would never normally do. I sincerely apologise to Jebb." He added: "It was uncharacteristic and this is not the type of player I am." Cavubati has made 12 appearances in all competitions since joining Warriors in September. Warriors currently sit 10th in the Premiership table, one point above Irish and bottom-of-the-table Newcastle Falcons. Worcester Warriors scrum-half Luke Baldwin, signed from Bristol last summer, has signed a new undisclosed-length contract at Sixways. Baldwin, 25, has started Worcester's last four matches, having taken his chance following injuries to Jonny Arr and Charlie Mulchrone. "As a young English nine Luke Baldwin has got potential," director of rugby Dean Ryan told BBC Hereford & Worcester.

Zhanna Nemtsova told the BBC that she had received threats, and this was one of the reasons behind her departure. In a newspaper column, she said Russian propaganda echoed the era of genocide in Nazi Germany and Rwanda. Mr Nemtsov, a leading Kremlin critic, was shot dead in Moscow in February. Five suspects have been arrested over the killing, all of them from the Russian republic of Chechnya. However, the investigation has not established who ordered the murder, and one of the suspects has said he was forced to make a confession. Several critics of Russian President Vladimir Putin have left the country over the last few years, complaining of intimidation and authoritarianism. A close friend of Mr Nemtsov, Vladimir Kara-Murza, was admitted to hospital with acute kidney failure last month. Doctors have not established a cause and his father told the BBC he suspected poisoning. In a column for business daily Vedomosti, Ms Nemtsova said state-controlled media in Russia had contributed to her father's death by labelling him and other opposition leaders "traitors". She accused pro-Kremlin journalists of spreading hatred and intolerance, and urged the West to impose sanctions against those involved. "Many of the texts of Kremlin-controlled media recall the rhetoric of African propagandists," she wrote. "Putin's information machine - similar to those in Nazi Germany and Rwanda - is using criminal methods of propaganda, and sowing hatred which generates violence and terror."

Mr Tusk faces questions over embarrassing remarks attributed to his Foreign Minister, Radoslaw Sikorski, about close allies the US and UK. In another leaked tape, the country's top banker discusses the next election with the interior minister. Investigations continue into how Wprost magazine obtained the recordings. Published by the magazine over the past two weeks, they were made in one or more restaurants in the capital, Warsaw, and are believed to date back as far as last summer. Wprost's chief editor, Sylwester Latkowski, was being questioned on Tuesday as a witness in the inquiry after he resisted attempts to search the magazine's office and computers last week. Mr Sikorski has not denied the remarks, accompanied by obscenities, that have been attributed to him. Central bank governor Marek Belka has said he will not resign over the remarks he is alleged to have said. The conservative opposition party, Law and Justice, is calling for Mr Tusk's centre-right coalition to resign but correspondents say this is unlikely at present. The scandal is especially embarrassing for Poland, the biggest of the former Soviet bloc states to join the EU, as it celebrates 25 years of freedom, marking the overthrow of its communist government and first, semi-free elections in 1989. The Sejm, or lower house of parliament, is assembling for a three-day debate on the issue, state radio reports. In one recording, Mr Sikorski can apparently be heard saying Poland's relationship with the US would prove worthless in the event of a crisis involving Germany or Russia: "It is downright harmful because it creates a false sense of security." As heard on the tape, he also ridicules UK Prime Minister David Cameron's immigration policy and views on the EU. Mr Sikorski, Poland's nominee to replace Catherine Ashton as EU foreign policy chief, also uses obscene and possibly racist language, according to the transcript published by Wprost. Defending himself this week, he said the government had come under attack from an as yet unidentified "organised crime group". In the earlier leak, Wprost published the content of an alleged private conversation in which Poland's top banker discussed the next election with Interior Minister Bartlomiej Sienkiewicz. Under Polish law, the central bank must remain independent of politics. Prime Minister Tusk has already said he will not dismiss officials whose compromising conversations were caught on tape in what he called a "criminal" action by "ill-intentioned people". "The Polish government will not be dictated to by people who illegally planted these bugs... whether by ill-will, naivety, greed or to serve political interests," he told journalists on Monday. One theory is that the conversations were recorded for purposes of blackmail.

The Scottish club said a recent consultation found that admitting women members was supported by over three-quarters of those who participated. Muirfield voted in May not to admit women members and lost its right to stage the Open Championship. Royal Troon, situated in South Ayrshire, is the host for this year's Open, which runs from 14-17 July. Troon said in January it would review of its male-only membership policy. Club captain Martin Cheyne said: "Recently we spoke about the need for our club to reflect the modern society in which we exist. "I am pleased that a large majority of members who responded to our survey agree and support opening the club to women." Muirfield's vote to change its rules and allow women fell short of the required two-thirds majority. As well as provoking an Open ban, the decision received widespread condemnation from players, administrators and politicians. World number three and former Open champion Rory McIlroy said: "It's more of a loss to Muirfield than it is to us."

Dr Alison Blackwell, who runs the Scottish Midge Forecast, said the consequences could be more of the insects next year. The scientists said that overall this year there were fewer midges than previous years because the cold and wet summer affected the two main hatches.

Titled "Albert Finney was never a member", it debunks myths while also celebrating past events at the venue. Project manager Leslie Holmes said: "Our plaques are a bluey green, to be a bit different from the official English Heritage scheme." It is being held in conjunction with the Manchester International Festival. Mr Holmes said: "Whenever I go to London, I'm always amazed by how many blue plaques there are about the lives of the rich and famous, but hardly any in Salford, so I thought it would be good to change this - even for the weekend - and put 20 plaques here at Salford Lads Club." He said the exhibition's title was "a humorous way of putting the record straight" on a myth that Salford-born actor Finney, who appeared in Skyfall and The Bourne Ultimatum, was a member when he was a boy. The plaques, designed by the artist Amber Sanchez, will be on display at the venue until Sunday afternoon.

Citizens Advice said that travellers who did not buy a "bolt-on" - allowing for a set amount of data use - could see higher bills. The other option was simply for holidaymakers to turn off data roaming on their devices while travelling. The charity is calling for a price cap to ensure nobody is caught out. Among the cases it has seen are military personnel being billed for thousands of pounds by their mobile operator while deployed abroad, as well as holidaymakers facing high charges after using maps, uploading photos or downloading albums. In June, it was announced that data roaming charges would be abolished within the European Union by June 2017. The ban will be preceded by a 14-month interim period, in which companies can still add surcharges - but at a reduced rate.

The availability of psychoactive drugs was also a concern following a spate of hospital admissions. Progress had been made since the last report but concerns remained, the chief inspector of prisons said. The National Offender Management Service said it would "work hard to improve". HM Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP) carried out the inspection last autumn during 29 September and 3 October. Inspectors said levels of violence had risen since the last inspection and "were now considerably higher than in similar prisons". They said not enough was being done to "investigate individual violent incidents" and the prison was not dealing with perpetrators and victims. Concern was also raised over the "availability of new psychoactive substances such as 'Spice'" - a substance which is a synthetic cannabinoid and acts like cannabis. The inspection report cited seven "Spice-related emergency admissions to hospital" in the past six months. But "the governor and staff had made huge efforts to respond to recommendations," HMIP said in its report. Inspectors said they were "pleased" to find "a marked improvement in the staff culture and attitudes of staff since 2013". They also said mental health provision was "very good", with prisoners at risk of suicide and self-harm feeling "well-supported". But although "considerable progress" had been made, the prison still required support to make further improvements. Chief Inspector of Prisons Nick Hardwick said: "HMP Bristol has come a long way in a relatively short time since the last inspection. "The distance the prison has already travelled has involved real determination, hard work and resilience from managers and staff which needs to be recognised. "It is important they now receive support to make the further improvements required." Michael Spurr, from the National Offender Management Service, said: "There remain a number of key areas for improvement, and the prison will continue to work hard to address these, supported by 10 new prison officers who will start later this month." The prison was previously criticised following an unannounced inspection in May 2013 when concerned inspectors said they would "return earlier than usual". HMP Bristol is a category B local prison holding young adult and adult men.

The "iPitch" at the Stobart Stadium was criticised by former Warrington full-back Richie Mathers, who posted images of grazes to his body on Twitter. He described the surface, on which his side won 32-14, as an "absolute joke". But Widnes claim that Mathers' injuries are more likely the result of the icy conditions the match was played in. The club's chief executive, Julie Gaskell, stated: "We had four games on the pitch this weekend and you have to bear in mind the extreme weather. On Friday night, it went down to minus seven. We are happy for Widnes to continue using the iPitch "The injuries are consistent with those on any surface in those temperatures. We noted there were similar injuries from the game at Salford on Saturday. "Our players have been training on a similar surface for the last nine months and there have been no issues. I am sure any problems would have shown up. "We have also had five-a-side football and boys and girls tag rugby on the pitch over the last four weeks and again we have had no reported injuries." The Rugby Football League say their match commissioner had no concerns about the surface, which is the first artificial pitch ever to be used in the sport. "We are happy for Widnes to continue using the iPitch," said RFL spokesman John Ledger. "The indications are that it posed no more danger to players than on any other surface over the weekend. We believe the extreme weather may have been an issue."
