Then in prison in South Africa, Nelson Mandela was widely regarded as the hero of the struggle to end apartheid and white minority rule. But in Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's mind he was also associated with communism and terrorism through his leadership of the ANC. Foreign Office officials did not know how to react when, in November 1984, they were asked by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) if there would be any objection to the Gordon Highlanders (whose regimental nickname was the Gay Gordons) taking part in a ceremony in which the future South African president was to be given the freedom of the city of Aberdeen. An official, Miss Adams, wrote: "Music, colour and pageantry is generally supplied on such occasions by the Gordon Highlanders, who are based in the city. "MoD have asked whether there would be any objection to the Gay Gordons performing and prancing on this occasion too. "I recommend that we do not object." Another official replied, by adding to the typed note in pen: "The association of a Scottish band of the British army with the ceremony would certainly attract comment in SA [South Africa]. All in all, it seems unwise." But Miss Adams stands her ground, at least to an extent. She wrote "MoD are having cold feet. "I recommend that we tell MoD we have no objection and leave them to decide." The records do not reveal the outcome, but the BBC believes, based on consulting local records in Aberdeen, that the Gordon Highlanders did not take part. It may not be the most glorious little moment in the Foreign Office's history.

Joel Ifergan bought two tickets for the weekly lottery draw in 2008, but the second ticket with the winning numbers printed just after the deadline. Mr Ifergan argued he should share the winnings as he bought both tickets before the cut-off. He reportedly spent $100,000 in legal costs on the case. "I'm really disappointed in the decision, and it's not because it's about the money," Mr Ifergan told CTV News, saying Quebec's slower lottery machines were to blame. "Had those tickets been bought anywhere else in Canada, I would have been a millionaire seven years ago." The Montreal-area man had sued the province's lottery but has been rejected both in Quebec courts and now at Canada's highest court. Another person also had the winning numbers for the week Mr Ifergan wanted to claim, so if his case had been successful, he would have shared the C$27m prize.

The Labour leader will promise to protect "Britain's vital industries" after the UK has left the EU. He will tell supporters in Manchester they have "four weeks to transform Britain". The Labour leader will be joined at the campaign launch by Labour's new Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham. Another Labour mayor, London's Sadiq Khan, has said people are "unclear" about the party's position on Brexit, and Labour faces the challenge of trying to appeal to both sides of last year's EU referendum debate. Prime Minister Theresa May has attempted to portray the 8 June general election as being about Brexit, urging voters to strengthen her negotiating hand. Labour has already set out six tests, including retaining the same benefits the UK currently has from the single market. Speaking at his campaign launch in Manchester, Mr Corbyn will say: "This election isn't about Brexit itself. That issue has been settled. The question now is what sort of Brexit do we want - and what sort of country do we want Britain to be after Brexit? "Labour wants a jobs-first Brexit, a Brexit that safeguards the future of Britain's vital industries, a Brexit that paves the way to a genuinely fairer society and an upgraded economy." Mr Corbyn will also claim that "the tax cheats, the press barons, the greedy bankers" would celebrate a Conservative victory, adding: "We have four weeks to ruin their party. "We have four weeks to take our wealth back. We have four weeks to win and transform Britain for the many not the few." Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrats are claiming that Brexit has put an additional five pence on the price of a litre of petrol. Nick Clegg, the party's spokesman on Europe, said motorists were paying the price for a fall in the value of the pound.

The Swedish Football Association claims an AIK player was "offered a considerable sum" if he contributed to losing Thursday's Allsvenskan game. General secretary Hakan Sjostrand described it as a "very serious attack against Swedish football", adding: "We will never let this happen." Police in Sweden have started an investigation into the allegation. "It is ultimately not about a single match, therefore it is important we act forcefully," added Sjostrand. "The starting point for all of our games is that they are safe and settled on sporting grounds. Based on the information we have, we cannot guarantee that." The two sides have played eight games in the Allsvenskan this season, with AIK sixth in the 16-team table, five places above Gothenburg. Radio Sweden's Spenser Bomholt, speaking to BBC World Sport Today: "This has been the first instance of alleged match-fixing in the top league level that we have heard about - it has happened quite a bit in lower league football and in basketball. In 2016, the Superettan [second tier] had 43 instances of players participating in match-fixing, but for it to rise to this level is really quite surprising. "The secretary general of the Swedish Football Federation say they have worked hard to educate players about what to do if they find themselves in this situation, and that's one of the reasons this was nipped in the bud."

The Three Lions' preparation for Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Scotland took a surprise twist at the weekend, when manager Gareth Southgate arranged a trip to a Commando Training Centre in Devon. Twenty England players were taken out of their comfort zones in a 48-hour boot camp designed for marine recruits. "We wanted to come and put the guys into a different environment, something they weren't expecting," Southgate told the FA website. "The Marines talk about a dislocated expectation, and that was part of the theme of the camp - how will we be adaptable in moments of difficulty for us as a team? "There were some team objectives around pushing themselves beyond where they thought they could go and knowing you don't want to let any of your team-mates down. "We wanted to expose the guys to an elite environment with one of the elite forces in the world. We wanted them to see that there's another world out there." The weekend's trip included a night camping under the stars on Woodbury Common. "These guys represent Queen and country, and we do the same - but the consequences of failure for the Royal Marines are far higher," added Southgate. "That gives us a good context and comparison." England's players will return to training at St George's Park on Tuesday, joined by Gary Cahill, Eric Dier, Chris Smalling, Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford - who missed the excursion. Goalkeepers: Jack Butland (Stoke), Fraser Forster (Southampton), Joe Hart (Man City), Tom Heaton (Burnley) Defenders: Ryan Bertrand (Southampton), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Aaron Cresswell (West Ham), Ben Gibson (Middlesbrough), Phil Jones (Man Utd), Chris Smalling (Man Utd), John Stones (Man City), Kieran Trippier (Tottenham), Kyle Walker (Tottenham) Midfielders: Dele Alli (Tottenham), Eric Dier (Tottenham), Adam Lallana (Liverpool), Jesse Lingard (Man Utd), Jake Livermore (West Brom), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal), Raheem Sterling (Man City) Forwards: Jermain Defoe (Sunderland), Harry Kane (Tottenham), Marcus Rashford (Man Utd), Jamie Vardy (Leicester)

Kenyan newspapers say there was intelligence information of an imminent attack on a school or university. Locals question why security was not heightened, with only two guards on duty at the time of the attack. Four more people have been found alive on the campus, but two are suspects and have been arrested, sources say. One is said to be a Tanzanian national with no known links to the university. All the bodies have been removed from the scene, Kenya's interior minister Joseph Nkaiserry said. Most of the victims were students, but three police officers and three soldiers were also killed, he added. Police in neighbouring Uganda say they have received information suggesting a similar attack is being planned there. Security services appear to have had some information that an attack on an institution of higher learning was in the offing and appear to have warned institutions to be careful, the Daily Nation newspaper reports. It says the University of Nairobi warned its students on 25 March that it had received intelligence information about a possible attack on a university and asked them to be vigilant. Locals in Garissa, a city about 150km from the Somali border, also question why security was not boosted in light of the intelligence. "It's because of laxity by the government that these things are happening. For something like this to happen when there are those rumours is unacceptable," said Mohamed Salat, 47, a Somali Kenyan businessman. One of the survivors, who hid in bushes during the assault, said the students had raised security issues late last year, but only two armed guards had been provided. Another said the gunmen appeared to know the site well. One witness told the BBC she heard the gunman receiving instructions on mobile phones, and speaking in Swahili, an official language in Kenya - raising the possibility the attackers were locals and not from Somalia, al-Shabab's heartland. A dusk to dawn curfew has now been imposed in Garissa and three nearby counties. In his address to the nation after the attack, President Uhuru Kenyatta said he had instructed the police chief to speed up the training of 10,000 recruits, because Kenya had "suffered unnecessarily due to shortage of security personnel". Al-Shabab was also blamed for the Westgate Mall massacre in Nairobi in 2013 in which 67 people died. President Barack Obama has expressed his condolences, saying "words cannot adequately condemn" what had happened. The UN too expressed its outrage, paying tribute to Kenya's role in the African Union's mission in neighbouring Somalia against al-Shabab. The bodies of those killed in Garissa have been flown to the capital Nairobi for identification, as the local mortuaries have been unable to cope, and many of the students killed came from other parts of the country. The masked attackers killed two security guards at dawn on Thursday, then rampaged through campus, shooting and shouting "we are al-Shabab". They singled out Christians and shot them, witnesses said. At the scene: Wanyama wa Chebusiri, BBC Africa, Garissa: A second-year student who hid for 10 hours in a wardrobe is one of about 500 survivors still being held at a military facility, where they are undergoing counselling. Her father drove for four hours from Nairobi when he was unable to get hold of her during the siege. He told the BBC about his desperate search for his daughter at the mortuary, hospital and military airstrip. Late in the afternoon, when he had almost given up hope, he got a text: "Dad call me". They have yet to be reunited but his relief is palpable. Who are the victims? Eyewitnesses describe attack Why is al-Shabab targeting Kenya? While many of the survivors spoke to the media, little is known so far about those who were killed. The BBC's Frenny Jowi says Kenyan media are cautious in their coverage because of a new anti-terror law that stipulates heavy fines for material "likely to cause fear". Garissa university campus 1.

The gunmen were eventually cornered in a dormitory by Kenyan security forces. Four of them died when their suicide vests detonated. A fifth gunman was reportedly arrested. Al-Shabab, which is linked to al-Qaeda, said it carried out the attack. The group says it is at war with Kenya, which sent troops to Somalia in 2011 to fight the militants. The Kenyan government has offered a reward of $53,000 (Â£36,000) for the man it says planned the killing - Mohamed Kuno, a former Kenyan schoolteacher, now thought to be in Somalia.

The Radio Amateurs' Emergency Network (RAYNET) provided communications over 2,000 square miles in North Yorkshire. Radios were operated by 42 volunteers. The money has been donated by North Yorkshire County Council. The volunteers will also provide communications on the Tour de Yorkshire cycling event in May. The Tour de France generated £102m in revenue on the two stages across Yorkshire, watched by 2.5m spectators. During the race the radio network linked control rooms in Skipton, Richmond, Harrogate, York and Wakefield. Brian Dooks, a member of RAYNET, said: "We are grateful for the donation, which will be used to purchase and replace equipment.

Unison said the council had failed to provide answers for social care expert Tony Garthwaite, heading the investigation, and that he was not able to complete his report. Awel Deg care home was shut in February 2014, making 40 employees redundant. The council said it was working with Mr Garthwaite. Awel Deg was closed following the suspension of 11 members of staff and concerns about standards of care. The council said in May 2014 the facility would re-open as a dementia home in spring 2015, but a spokesman said on Wednesday that this could not happen until Mr Garthwaite's investigation was complete. Jeff Baker, regional organiser for Unison, said the union had written to the council complaining about the wait. "It is very disappointing," he said. "Unison understands that Mr Garthwaite cannot complete his report because the council has not taken steps to provide answers to key matters that Mr Garthwaite has put forward." A council spokesman said it was aware of Unison's comments. "The council is working with Tony Garthwaite... to ensure that he has access to all the relevant information that he requires in order that he can complete his investigation," the spokesman said.

Some 450,000 asylum seekers have entered Germany already this year and up to a million are expected in 2015 - by far the most in the EU. The government in Berlin has broadly welcomed refugees, relaxing EU rules so that it no longer sends back Syrians to other EU countries. But it introduced temporary border controls on Sunday after admitting that its capacity had been stretched to the limit. Until now, the federal government has insisted it can cope with the high numbers of asylum seekers but wants the burden shared between EU countries. Authorities have been giving assistance to new arrivals at stations in Munich and other German cities before taking them to reception centres. The "Koenigsteiner Key" is used to distribute asylum seekers across Germany's 16 federal states, calculated according to their tax revenue and their population. For example, North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany's most populous state, will be expected to take 21% of all asylum seekers, while Thuringia, the focus of several attacks on asylum accommodation, is set to receive under 3%. With a huge build-up of asylum seekers in the Bavarian city of Munich, and reception centres apparently reaching capacity, authorities in affected states have been calling for the federal government in Berlin to do more. Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann told radio station Bayern 2 that stricter controls were needed because "many en route here are not really refugees". "It's got about in the last few days that you are successful if everyone claims to be Syrian," he added. The dispute has seen Chancellor Angela Merkel come under increasing pressure particularly from political allies in the Christian Social Union (CSU), which has ruled Bavaria, Germany's wealthiest state, for nearly 60 years. State Premier Horst Seehofer described the decision to open the borders as "a mistake that will occupy us for a long time". German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel told Tagesspiegel newspaper on Sunday that the problem was "not the number of refugees but the rapidity at which they arrived". He said "Europe's inaction in the refugee crisis had driven Germany... to the limit of its capacity". The government ordered police to begin checking travel documents on Sunday from anyone entering from the southern frontier with Austria, and federal police set up roadblocks on motorway networks. Rail services to Munich were affected by the changes, too. German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said the border controls would remain in place until further notice. "The aim of this measure is to limit the current influx to Germany and to return to orderly entry procedures," he said. "This is also urgently necessary for security reasons." The move goes against the principle of the Schengen zone, which allows free movement between many European countries. However, the Schengen agreement does allow for temporary suspensions. There have been warnings that the restrictions could make conditions worse for the thousands of migrants continuing to make the perilous journey across Europe to Germany. "These measures will not create more order but only much more chaos," said Katrin Goering-Eckhardt, the parliamentary leader of the opposition Greens, according to Reuters. But the government argues that the new measures will not affect the rights of refugees coming to Germany. The temporary border controls were introduced hours before an emergency meeting of European interior ministers and Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said they were "a signal to Europe". "Germany is facing up to its humanitarian responsibility, but the burdens connected with the large number of refugees must be distributed in solidarity," he said. EU ministers were to vote on a May 2015 plan to redistribute an initial 40,000 asylum seekers from Syria and Eritrea through mandatory quotas. The EU has since raised the total number of people it seeks to share out through quotas to 160,000 asylum seekers across 23 EU states. But Germany says this still is not enough. Speaking in the German parliament last week, the vice chancellor described the plans as "a first step, if one wants to be polite". "Or you could call it a drop in the ocean." An application for asylum is made at the reception centre on arrival, where personal details, fingerprints and photographs (for those over 14) are taken. A temporary permission to stay is granted. The asylum seeker will then be invited to an interview to decide his or her case. The current average time from application to decision is 5.3 months, according to the German government. If granted refugee status, a residence permit for three years will be granted. After this time a permanent residence permit can be applied for. Germany designates all EU states plus Ghana, Senegal, Serbia, Macedonia and Bosnia-Herzegovina as "safe countries of origin" - which means that asylum claims from nationals of these countries are likely to be rejected. On 7 September the government announced that Kosovo, Albania and Montenegro would be added to this list. Asylum seekers normally stay at reception centres for up to six weeks. After that they are offered either communal accommodation, or housed individually, depending on the policy of the federal state. People who are unable to support themselves financially "receive what they need for their day-to-day life", the German government says. Support varies from state to state, but generally includes non-cash benefits covering food and accommodation costs, plus limited spending money. After being in the country for three months, asylum seekers can apply for permission to start work, subject to various restrictions. Anyone given a residence permit has unrestricted access to the labour market after four years. No - Germany has a long and complicated history of population movement. After Germany's defeat in World War Two, millions of ethnic Germans were forced to leave areas of Poland, former Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Russia and resettle in West and East Germany. The booming economy of post-war West Germany required more workers, and huge numbers of "guest workers" arrived from Mediterranean countries such as Italy, Spain and - most significantly - Turkey. Communist East Germany also took on temporary workers from "fraternal socialist countries", including North Vietnam, Cuba and Mozambique, although most returned after German reunification. In 1991 the country enacted laws enabling Jews from the former Soviet Union to move to Germany - more than 200,000 Jewish people and their families immigrated in this way. Around 350,000 people fleeing the Bosnian conflict were given temporary refuge in Germany in the 1990s, but most have since left. In total, 20.3% of Germany's population now have "a migration background" - the term German officialdom uses to describe immigrants or their children. But Germany's population is shrinking, due to its low birth rate, and it has been argued that it needs migrants to keep its economy going.

Media playback is not supported on this device The world number eight overcame a testing start to beat Wales' Matthew Stevens, the 2003 winner, 6-2. England's O'Sullivan had lost only one frame in his three previous wins at this year's tournament. "There are a lot of players I watch out there and they can't play," he said. "That's no disrespect, they just can't play. They are never going to be good enough. "With too many 128 events, I always think that is quantity over quality. We have a lot of quantity, but very few quality events." Sixteen of the 19 ranking tournaments involve 128 players, with three further high-profile invitational events involving just the top players. Earlier in the week O'Sullivan said snooker was becoming a "nothing type sport" and compared it to a "car-boot sale", while other sports like golf and Formula 1 were more akin to "shopping in Harrods". Media playback is not supported on this device "When you are trying to cater for 128 it is maybe holding back the sport when it could maybe do better if they thought about more tournaments for the top 32 or top 16," he added. "Big promoters would generally not want to be messing around with too many people who don't pull in the crowds or the viewing figures. "There should be more for the top players. Top players should be rewarded, have more classy events to play in and should be treated differently. "You need to look after your top players. It's like the tail wagging the dog in a way." O'Sullivan, who faces either fellow Englishman Liam Highfield or Stevens' countryman Mark Williams in Friday's quarter-finals, scored a rapid century to open his last-16 victory on Wednesday. And although Stevens responded with a 74, the 'Rocket' stole a crucial third frame and scored three more 50s to win through. World number six Shaun Murphy beat China's Zhou Yuelong 6-2, hitting one ton and three half centuries to win the last four frames. World champion Mark Selby and Hong Kong's Marco Fu both progressed without much trouble in the evening session. Selby, the 2012 champion, lost the first frame but thrashed China's Zhang Anda 6-1, while world number 15 Fu thumped 21-year-old English outsider Oliver Lines 6-0.

The proposals are specifically aimed at reducing the high rates of teenage smokers in France. Health Minister Marisol Touraine plans to follow Australia's example, which introduced similar measures in 2012. Experts say removing branding on packets and adding large health warnings reduced smoking in Australia. However, some tobacco companies dispute the evidence for this and say France's plans are incomprehensible. Smoking is the main cause of death in France, with more than 70,000 people dying each year of tobacco-related illnesses. The new measures, which will come into effect once the law goes through the National Assembly, also includes a ban on smoking in children's play areas in public parks and in cars carrying children under 12. In addition, advertising of e-cigarettes will be restricted before being banned in May 2016, except at the point of sale and in trade publications. Ms Touraine says there are 13 million smokers in France - which has a population of around 66 million - and the "number of smokers is growing, especially among young people." "We can't accept that tobacco kills 73,000 people every year in our country - the equivalent of a plane crash every day with 200 people on board," she added. The BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris says the move goes well beyond what France is required to do under European anti-smoking rules. EU laws already force tobacco firms to cover 65% of the packaging with health warnings, but Ms Touraine said they would be "the same shape, same size, same colour, same typeset" if the ban came into effect. Celine Audibert, a spokeswoman for French firm Seita, which is a subsidiary of Imperial Tobacco, described the move as "completely incomprehensible". "It's based on the Australian experience which, more than a failure, was a complete fiasco," added Ms Audibert. In 2012, Australia forced all cigarettes to be sold in identical brown packets, largely covered with graphic health warnings. Tobacco clearances, an indicator of tobacco volumes in the Australian market, fell 3.4% in 2013 compared with 2012. But Australia also raised cigarette taxes that led to consumer prices increasing, creating doubt over which move made the most difference.

Cardiff singer Gwenno recently won the Welsh Music Prize 2015. But those unaware of the artist before will now see her adorning the outside wall of Cardiff's famous venue Clwb Ifor Bach on Womanby Street. The 34-year-old said she was " incredibly honoured" to see herself in the 12 x 38 metre mural. "I remember Clwb when I was growing up, I probably went to see my first gig there, dragged along to a Welsh Language Society event with my mum," said Gwenno, whose full name is Gwenno Saunders. "Clwb is a huge part of everyone's heritage from Wales, most bands have played here. "I'm incredibly honoured that they thought my face was worth putting up there," added the singer, who recently became a mother to son, Nico. Gwenno was first approached by designer Mark James about the mural, which he designed for the Get it right campaign. The campaign aims to prevent piracy in music and television, by promoting the value of creativity in the UK and raising awareness of genuine online content services. "Gwenno's album had just come out and was getting a lot of attention," Mr James said. The sci-fi themed album Y Dydd Olaf, sung in both Welsh and Cornish, was inspired by Owain Owain's 1976 Welsh novel of the same name. "The original idea was to be quite political and to make a statement," he said. Mr James's design, one of Cardiff's largest street art projects, was sprayed painted onto the building by local street artists Rmer, Zadok and Karm, in under three days. It will remain on the walls of Clwb Ifor Bach for the next six months.

Double bass player John Martin, 48, strangled her at their Newton Heath home in Manchester, on their second wedding anniversary. Ms Strelchencko, 38, died of head and neck injuries last August, the trial at Manchester Crown Court was told. Martin had denied murder and claimed he had no memory of the attack. The court heard he beat Ms Strelchenko, who was also known by the surname Strelle, after he losing his temper at their home on 30 August. The prosecution claimed Martin was jealous of Ms Strelchenko's successful career but giving evidence he told the jury that was "ridiculous". The couple's relationship was "marked with tensions," prosecuting counsel Rob Hall said. "He was very jealous if she was out without him... They would also argue regularly about such matters as financial affairs and who should keep the house clean," Mr Hall said. Martin, who worked for the computer firm IBM in his home country of Norway before becoming a musician, met Ms Strelchenko in 2007. She made her debut at the age of 12 with the St Petersburg Symphony Orchestra and performed piano recitals at New York's Carnegie Hall and London's Wigmore Hall. She moved to Manchester in 2009 following the breakdown of her first marriage three years earlier. The family of Ms Strelchenko said the musician had been "much loved" adding, "we will never forget Natalia or the many memories she has given us". In a statement they said: "She was extremely talented with much life ahead of her. "She was taken from us in August in completely unnecessary circumstances. We cannot express how devastated we are that her life has been stolen from her. "We miss Natalia every minute of every day. We can try to repair our heartache although no matter how long the sentence is, it will not bring Natalia back or make our loss any easier." Martin is expected to be sentenced next week.

The untitled DreamWorks film is being produced by Spielberg who is also said to be considering a directing role, according to Variety. Hanks and Spielberg have previously teamed up for Saving Private Ryan, Catch Me if You Can and The Terminal. The new project is about real-life US lawyer James Donovan, who was enlisted by the CIA during the Cold War. Hanks will play Donovan, who had to negotiate the release of a pilot captured when his U2 spy plane was shot down over Russia. DreamWorks has declined to comment, but the film is thought to be one of several directing projects being considered by Spielberg, who is already producing the film along with Marc Platt. Other possibilities are Robopocalypse and the historical drama Montezuma, from American Gangster and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo writer Steve Zaillian. Spielberg won a best director Oscar for his 1998 World War Two epic Saving Private Ryan, which also saw Hanks nominated for his role as Captain John H Miller. Hanks is currently shooting indie film A Hologram for the King, based on the novel of the same name by Dave Eggers.

Scotland centre-back Beattie opened the scoring with a low volley from a right-wing corner on 23 minutes and rose unmarked to head in from another right-wing cross after the break. Striker Jane Ross had also clipped the inside of the post before Bronze - who netted in stoppage time at the end of the first leg - had drilled home from close range before half-time. Christiansen's neat fourth added to the margin of victory, after Zvezda striker Daryna Apanaschenko had struck the crossbar with their best effort of a one-sided tie.

The 64-year-old woman has been named locally as Teresa McDonagh. It is believed she died after being attacked by two Bullmastiff dogs at a family member's home on Sunday afternoon. Emergency services were called to the scene but the woman was pronounced dead after efforts to resuscitate her failed. Irish national broadcaster RTÃ‰ reports that nobody was home when the victim arrived at the property at lunchtime. Emergency services were only alerted after the occupants returned to the home at 15:00 local time and discovered Mrs McDonagh. Her body has been taken to University Hospital Galway, where a post-mortem examination will take place. Bullmastiffs are listed in Ireland's 1998 Control of Dogs Act, which means they must be securely muzzled in public, but there are no restrictions on them on private property. The dogs involved in the attack were later put down.

They were taken to hospital after emergency services were called to Trevella Park at Crantock, near Newquay, Cornwall, just after midnight. The two adults and three children have now been released from hospital. Firefighters warned of the dangers of having a barbecue inside a tent and said the outcome could have been very different. The family were rescued by two men from a neighbouring tent, who helped to pull them from the tent. One of the men, Tony Woodward, from Nottingham, said: "I heard a bit of a commotion. We didn't quite know what was going on. "The father was trying to take his family out one by one. But then he didn't have enough strength as the carbon monoxide took hold. "One of his daughters was unconscious in the far side of the tent. We had to physically carry her out of the tent." Another of those involved in the late-night rescue, Mat Stone, from Derby, said: "We got some air into their lungs. One of the girls in the opposite tent phoned the emergency services." Shaun Taylor, the watch manager at Newquay Fire Station, said: "We found that the occupants of the next tent had helped in rescuing the family from the tent. "We discovered they had a lit barbecue inside the tent. Any item that produces heat or vapours can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. That was our concern. "If the dad hadn't woken up and the people in the next tent hadn't got the people out we would have been looking at a very sad and serious situation this morning." Barry Templeton, the general manager at the camping park, said the family arrived back at the site safe and well at about 07:00 BST. He said it was the first incident of its kind on the site which had "welcomed thousands of customers over the last 50 years". "The well-being of people at Trevella is our concern. I think our first response would be to put a warning notice in the welcome pack highlighting the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning." At the end of July a group of holidaymakers was taken to hospital with suspected carbon monoxide poisoning after an incident at another campsite near Padstow.

The midfielder is doubtful with a hamstring injury sustained five minutes from the end of Saturday's Premiership defeat by Crusaders at Seaview. The 29-year-old is the club's second top scorer this season, having notched 18 goals, 12 of those from penalties and four from free-kicks. Kane joined Ballymena from Cliftonville in 2011 and can play at right back. Only striker Cathair Friel, with 19 goals, has found the net more often for United than Kane. Both Ballymena and Carrick are looking to win the League Cup for the first time in their history and the clubs are meeting in a domestic decider for the first time since the 1984 Irish Cup final, which Ballymena won 4-1. United have picked up the County Antrim Shield twice in recent years, but were losing finalists in the 2014 Irish Cup final and the 2015 League Cup decider. Carrick last picked up senior silverware in the 1992-93 season, when they collected the County Antrim Shield. Ballymena manager David Jeffrey won the League Cup six times during his time as manager of Linfield.

The party, called Project X, has attracted attention after a publicity poster was circulated, declaring "no one goes back home a virgin". Film board head Ezekiel Mutua said the party was organised so people people could make pornographic films. The organisers have now cancelled the event following the social media storm. They blamed journalists for labelling it a sex party and called "some media houses... narrow minded", according to a statement quoted in several reports. It adds that the party was supposed to be a place "where young adults can meet up, socialise and have a good time". The raunchy publicity material showed half-naked women with the promise that it would be "one night to lose your mind". The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) said there had been a rise of young people being blackmailed after being filmed having sex. At a press conference in the capital, Nairobi, Mr Mutua said the party had been cancelled following "immense public pressure" from "Kenyans of goodwill", police and politicians. He called it a "decadent event" and said the "KFCB took up the matter after getting a tip-off that the party was to be used by unscrupulous business people to promote drugs, illicit sex and the making of pornographic films". The police are investigating whether the organisers were breaking the law. The planned party has led to Project X trending on Twitter in Kenya, with many social media users wondering what was wrong with the event, though there has also been some criticism. Kenya's growing youthful population, and its exposure to a global youth culture through social media, is challenging some of the more traditional values in the country, the BBC's Ruth Nesoba in Nairobi says. Project X takes its name from a 2012 Hollywood film that showed a group of teenagers organising a party which gets out of control.

The Briton will start third in Monaco behind Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo and team-mate Nico Rosberg and says an engine issue "cost me pole". "There is one part of me wants to go in all guns blazing, but then there is the side which knows I'm world champion and these guys look to me," said Hamilton. "They're probably feeling what I am feeling. I'm going to get everyone up." He added: "That's what a team player does." Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix is live on the BBC Sport website and radio 5 live from 13:00 BST Hamilton suffered a loss of fuel pressure when waiting at the end of the pit lane for the start of the top 10 shoot-out in Monaco. The 31-year-old had to be wheeled back to his pit for the mechanics to fix the problem, which meant he only had time for one quick lap, rather than the two runs all his rivals had. Rosberg suffered the same issue - but his struck while he was still in the pits, so it did not affect his session. "I'm really struggling for words after that session," said Hamilton. "I try to turn it positive. I'm grateful I could get going again, I was really happy with my lap. "It was lap four of those tyres so they weren't at peak performance, but I did my best with what I had." Hamilton added: "It makes a big difference when you have a banker lap and work on it and build on it." He explained that his final run had not gone to plan either, as he encountered traffic on his first attempt at a flying lap, and was then told to do two further slow laps before his last attempt to ensure he did not have the same problem again. "It cost me pole. My state of mind is to at least finish where I am. If I can gain another position, that would be great. I am just hoping the car stays together [in the race]." It is the latest in a string of problems that have afflicted Hamilton this season, while Rosberg won the first four races. He made poor starts in the first two races in Australia and Bahrain, which led to collisions at the first corner that damaged his car. He recovered to take second and third place respectively. Identical engine problems in qualifying in China and Russia proved costly too, as he was forced to start from the back in Shanghai and 10th in Russia, from which he salvaged a seventh place and a second. The two Mercedes drivers crashed together on the first lap in Spain two weeks ago. Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff said the number of technical problems affecting Hamilton were "starting to get a bit frustrating". He said: "Lewis wears his heart on his sleeve. When he has a bad day, you can see it. It's fair enough. It's his character. "He has bounced back really well since Barcelona but we are all upset that he keeps having these gremlins."

Investors withdrew £1bn from investment funds in July, with some moving their money into fixed-income products, the Investment Association said. This withdrawal was not as dramatic as the amounts taken out in June, when the vote was taken. It did mark a significant shift from the £3.7bn inflow in July last year. "UK retail investors remained cautious as they sold out of equity and property funds, favouring fixed income, mixed-asset and absolute return strategies," said Guy Sears, interim chief executive of the Investment Association. "Although global equity markets initially fell following the EU referendum announcement, they recovered through July to produce positive returns." Analysts said that there had been a strong rebound, but there were still reasons to be cautious. "Concerns around the scale of China's credit bubble have not gone away, markets want greater clarity on the direction of US monetary policy and US elections will increasingly coming into focus when the televised debates begin in late September," said Jason Hollands, managing director of Tilney Bestinvest. "But above all, asset prices look pretty expensive at a time when the outlook for global growth is far from bullish." Laith Khalaf, senior analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "There was extremely negative sentiment towards markets in the immediate wake of the referendum, though the continued strong performance of stocks, combined with the Bank of England's stimulus package, is likely to result in a bit more positivity in August. "While large sums have clearly been withdrawn from equity funds, the yields on offer from bonds and cash are pretty crummy right now, and for long-term investors, the stock market at least gives them a fighting chance of beating inflation."

Labour-run Kirklees Council must save the money over three years, said its leader, Councillor David Sheard. Mr Sheard told BBC Radio Leeds political reporter Louise Martin it could mean losing up to 1,000 jobs. "Some things we have relied on for 100 years are no longer sacrosanct," he said, adding the council could have "no money left" by 2020 without cuts. Budget restrictions could mean the closure of Batley and Birstall markets, museums and a reduction in street cleaning. The council, which serves the area around Batley, Dewsbury, Huddersfield and Holmfirth, currently employs about 7,000 people, excluding teachers. Mr Sheard said: "We're not the only authority in this position. The government's ideas are for smaller local authorities and people doing more for themselves." Mr Sheard said if the council did not do "something about our budgets" it would have "no money left" by 2020.

It said it had worked with three local funeral directors to create a package with savings ranging from 28% to 41% on the national average. The average cost for funeral director services is £2,772, according to Citizens Advice Scotland (CAS). Since 2012, it has seen an 83% rise in people going to citizens advice bureaux after struggling with funeral costs. CAS said costs of burials rose by 7% between 2016 and 2015, while cremation costs increased by 11%. East Ayrshire council leader Douglas Reid said funeral poverty was a genuine problem. "It is something we need to address and it is important that we talk openly about the cost of funerals," he said. "People need to know that there are options out there, that they can say goodbye to a loved one in a dignified way without paying large sums of money, money that many people just don't have." From 1 April, all East Ayrshire residents will be entitled to use the funeral package, which will range in price from £1,680 to £2,000. Based on these costs, people would save between £350 and £700 depending which funeral director they chose to use, the council said. The "Respectful Funeral Service" package is to include: A review of funeral poverty was commissioned by the Scottish government in 2015, and the Birrell -Citizens Advice Scotland report was published. The report contained a number of recommendations to tackle funeral poverty. These included local authorities seeking ways to reduce or limit charges. Social Security Minister Jeane Freeman said: "We are keen to encourage innovative work to address funeral poverty, and I will be interested to see how this scheme operates in practice."

Baroness Campbell, former chair of UK Sport, was speaking at the Wembley launch of plans to double participation in the women's game by 2020. The FA is also targeting victory for England at the 2023 Women's World Cup. "One of the big challenges in the women's game is just developing athleticism," Campbell told BBC Sport. "It is not technical and tactical - [in those aspects] they are probably as good as anybody in the world. "But that athleticism that you see in the American players or the Germans is a very different type of athleticism, power and agility. We have got a long way to go. "We need to build it in much earlier. We can't suddenly do that. We need to be working with players much earlier on." Baroness Campbell's comments came when she was asked why the FA had not set Mark Sampson's side the target of winning the next Women's World Cup in 2019, given that they finished third in Canada two years ago. But the former junior international pentathlete and netball player said the goal of winning in 2019 was "probably not realistic". Campbell, who joined the FA in January 2016, wants to improve the talent pathway for younger England players, in anticipation that some of the current senior side could retire before 2019. The United States have won the Women's World Cup a record three times, while Germany have triumphed twice, with England's bronze medal in Canada their best result so far.

The trauma of their youngest daughter's disappearance has been compounded by a frustrating and debilitating quest to find the truth. "It is like we are in a permanent fog," said Mr Coriam, 58. Mrs Coriam, 52, added the family had been "in limbo" ever since disappearance of her daughter, known as Bex. Rebecca had been working organising children's activities and games on the 83,000-tonne Disney Wonder, sailing off Mexico's Pacific coast. She was last seen on Tuesday, 22 March 2011 at about 05:45 GMT, when CCTV footage showed her making a phone call to her friend from the staff quarters. Four hours later the alarm was raised when she failed turn up for the start of her shift. Despite a search of the ship and the efforts of the Mexican coastguard, she was not found. As the Coriams flew to Los Angeles from their home in rural Cheshire three days after Rebecca was reported missing, they were told in advance by cruise officials they would be treated "Disney-style". In hindsight, Rebecca's parents said "Disney-style" meant a tightly-controlled visit to the ship before it set sail again. "We were met with a car with blacked-out windows," said Mrs Coriam. "It was obvious they did not want us to leave the hotel alone," added her husband. They met with the captain and officials from Disney in a small room on board the ship where they were shown the CCTV footage of their daughter. "We asked if we could have a copy and we were told 'no'," said Mrs Coriam. The couple said they had no opportunity to question the crew. Instead, they said they were shown her room, the staff quarters and to Deck Five, where they said officials put forward a theory that Rebecca had been swept overboard by a wave. However, the Coriams said they had doubts that was possible and said as the deck was in front of the ship's bridge, they believed someone would have seen what had happened to their daughter. When they looked around the dock in LA where the ship was berthed, they said they showed Rebecca's picture to one worker. "He told us he remembered her loading her luggage but then she said, 'you never saw me'," Mr Coriam said. The family's Miami-based lawyer Jim Walker, who specialises in maritime law, said he had been "deeply troubled" by the "lack of co-operation and transparency demonstrated by Disney". He added: "In this day and age it is inconceivable that anyone would vanish from a cruise ship - particularly a ship catering to families and children - without the circumstances being recorded by closed circuit television cameras." In a statement, Disney said: "Our hearts go out to the Coriams. Rebecca's disappearance has been heartbreaking for everyone at Disney Cruise Line. "We wish we knew what happened." They said the family's next frustration came with trying to get information between the Royal Bahamas Police, called in because the ship was registered in the Bahamas, and Cheshire Police. They said progress was slow and they had not heard any updates for some time. However, Sgt Chrislyn Skippings, public affairs officer for the Royal Bahamas Police, insisted the investigation was ongoing. The family's supporters have set up a fundraising campaign through Facebook and the couple are in touch with other relatives who have lost loved ones at sea along with sea safety campaigners. They have also found themselves offering support to others in the same situation. Rebecca's parents are now also campaigning for UK authorities to be able investigate cases of British nationals who go missing on vessels registered abroad. At some stage they plan to go to the US to resume their investigation and quest for the truth. But, in the meantime - to mark the first anniversary of the disappearance - family and friends are gathering for a special Mass at St Werbergh's Roman Catholic Church, Chester, to pray for Rebecca, whose 25th birthday was on 11 March. Her family said the hardest thing to deal with is the uncertainty. There is talk of a UK inquest but a spokesman for Chester's coroner said that would be impossible in the absence of a body. "We just don't know what has happened," said Mrs Coriam. "We couldn't even grieve."

Prof Thomas Weber's book Hitler's First War, which was released in 2010, claimed his image as a brave soldier was a myth. The producers of the Oscar-nominated film Downfall - also about the Nazi leader - will make the show after a French TV network purchased the series. The show will be called Hitler. Production of the 10-hour series begins next year. Prof Weber said: "It is a privilege to see my book and the research behind it dramatised in this way for a large TV audience. "Over the years a great deal has been written about Hitler but so little of this focused on his life in the years of the First World War. "Hitler's First War uncovered many myths in regard to his service and motivations following the conflict. More importantly it demonstrated how Hitler's lies about his war years became political tools in his hands for the rest of his life. "The series is a great opportunity to demask Hitler."

However, this time, the source of the leak was not hackers or thieves, but rather the show being mistakenly released on to its broadcaster's streaming platform too early. The episode, titled Death is the Enemy, has since been withdrawn, but not before it was copied. Twin Peaks suffered a similar error recently. A spokesman for HBO Europe blamed an unnamed contractor for the most recent blunder. "We have learned that the upcoming episode of Game of Thrones was accidentally posted for a brief time on the HBO Nordic and HBO Espana platforms," Tom Krogsgaard Nielsen told the BBC. "The error appears to have originated with a third-party vendor, and the episode was removed as soon as it was recognised. "This is not connected to the recent cyber-incident at HBO in the US." Reports indicate that high-definition footage from the episode was initially posted to YouTube, the Daily Motion, Instagram and other social media sites. Although it has since been removed, different copies of the complete 66-minute show are still being shared on several file-sharing platforms, according to the news site Torrentfreak. HBO has suffered a series of security setbacks over recent weeks. Unidentified hackers have released Game of Thrones scripts, company documents and unbroadcast video episodes of some of HBO's other shows, including Curb Your Enthusiasm and Insecure. They claim to have stolen 1.5TB of data in total. In a separate incident, pirated copies of the 6 August episode of Game of Thrones were spotted online several days earlier in the week, featuring an Indian broadcaster's logo. Four people have since been arrested, three of whom work for a Mumbai-based company that stored and processed the show for an online streaming service. HBO is not the only broadcaster to have been caught out by its own technology. Sky Deutschland accidentally uploaded episode 14 of Twin Peaks: The Return to its streaming platform on 7 August, instead of episode 13. It blamed "wrong labelling of the broadcasting file" for the error, which is somewhat ironic as one of the themes of the series is mistaken identities. Although some viewers shared spoilers and screengrabs to Reddit, reports at the time suggested the episode had not been pirated as a consequence.

St George's says the checks would help tackle health tourism and would only be for non-urgent patients - emergency cases would get automatic care. It says such a move is in line with what guidelines recommend. But critics say the checks could be potentially dangerous. St George's says it has a duty to use resources wisely, as well as provide care and treatment to patients requiring the hospital's services. The hospital has a high number of patients from overseas who are not eligible for NHS treatment. The government said a pilot was a good idea and it would be keen to see the results. The trust's board papers from October make clear that "if no action is taken, from December 2016 the cost of health care given to non-eligible patients could be Â£4m-Â£5m per annum". Currently, antenatal ward staff ask patients to fill in forms with proof of eligibility, including passport details or other ID, when they book in for care. But some patients leave these parts of the form blank. The hospital says it wants to tighten up its checks. A spokesman for St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said: "Like many London Trusts, we treat a high number of patients from overseas who are not eligible for NHS treatment. "The guidelines state that hospitals should endeavour to check patients for their eligibility when accessing non-emergency NHS treatment. We are not doing this effectively enough at present, and are looking at ways in which we can improve this." Others are not convinced. Cathy Warwick of the Royal College of Midwives said: "I would ask the trust to clarify their policy and to give assurances that all pregnant women who need care will receive it, no matter what their immigration status. "To be clear, the law says, and government policy states, that trusts must offer care to women in labour, irrespective of their immigration status in the country." She said the move could be dangerous because "it could deter women from seeking care in a timely fashion. This could potentially have a serious impact on the health of the mother and their baby and the outcome of the pregnancy." A Department of Health spokesperson said: "NHS Trusts and Foundation Trusts in England are legally obliged to check whether patients are eligible for non-emergency NHS treatment free at the point of use, and recover costs from the overseas patients who are not normally resident in the UK where charges apply. We welcome St George's pilot to test new processes to recoup costs from overseas patients and look forward to the results."

The car was bought by Rick Champagne, a logistics company owner from Phoenix, Arizona. The 56-year-old, who was just 10 when the high-camp TV series began in 1966, said it "was a dream come true". The Batmobile design was based on a 1955 Lincoln Futura, a concept car built in Italy by the Ford Motor Company. It was the first time that car had come up for public sale since it was bought in 1965 by car-customiser George Barris for a nominal fee of $1. Barris then spent $15,000 (roughly £5,370 at the time) to transform it into the famous superhero vehicle, over a period of 15 days. It had a V-8 engine,  arguably one of the first in-car phones, and parachutes, which were deployed to help Batman turn sharp corners. Mr Barris told reporters at the auction: "The car had to be a star on its own. And it became one." Since the show was cancelled in 1968, he  has toured the Batmobile and was eventually housed in a private showroom in California. Adam West,  now 84, played the caped crusader in 120 episodes in four years of programming, with Burt Ward starring as the "boy wonder" Robin and comedian and actor Cesar Romero as Batman's arch nemesis, The Joker. The 60s show was camp in its portrayal of Batman. More recent incarnations of billionaire Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego - such as British director Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy  - have had a much darker tone. The newer Batmobiles have reflected the more brutal portrayal of Gotham City's saviour, such as the "Tumbler" of 2005's Batman Begins, starring Christian Bale.

Ms Yellen said current valuations were "quite high", but added she did not see any bubbles forming. Chinese shares saw the biggest falls in the region with the Shanghai Composite closing down 2.8% at 4,112.21 - marking a third day of declines. Hong Kong's Hang Seng was down 1.3% at 27,289.97 - falling for the sixth day. Several companies on the mainland have announced share offerings through the week, leading investors to pull funds from other stocks. Investors were also worried about reported new moves by regulators to cool China's market, such as capping the size of margin financing and limiting the type of stocks investors can buy with borrowed money. In Japan, the benchmark Nikkei 225 closed down 1.23% at 19,291.99 after being closed all week for a holiday. Australia's benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index closed down 0.82% at 5,645.70. Shares in Australia had suffered their biggest one-day fall in more than two years on Wednesday following disappointing results from Australia's biggest banks. Investors are concerned about the country's big four banks facing slower growth. National Australia Bank (NAB), the last of the big banks to announce their results this week, reported a 5.4% rise in cash profit for the six months to March. It also announced a 5.5bn Australian dollar ($4.4bn; Â£2.8bn) capital-raising exercise which will involve the selling of new shares. NAB wants to demerge and float its troubled British bank, Clydesdale, and shore up its balance sheet. The lender's capital-raising announcement has been reported by some of Australia's media as being the largest in the country's corporate history. Also weighing on investor confidence were the latest figures on Australia's unemployment rate, which showed a slight rise to 6.2% in April. In South Korea, the benchmark Kospi index closed down 0.65% at 2,091.00.

Nestle had challenged the ban ordered by the country's food safety regulator in June after some tests found lead levels beyond statutory limits. The Swiss food multinational has always said its products are safe. Thursday's ruling came a day after India separately sued Nestle for $100m (Â£64m) over "unfair trade practices". The complaint against Nestle is that it caused damage to consumers through misleading advertisements related to its Maggi noodles product. On Thursday, the Bombay High Court called June's ban on the popular noodles "arbitrary" and said it violated the "principles of natural justice". "We have examined the evidence in great detail. Since the petitioner Nestle has already agreed not to make and sell Maggi until the food authorities are satisfied, we see no reason to allow any relief to food authorities," Justice Vidyasagar Kanade was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency. The court directed Nestle to "send five samples from each batch of Maggi [noodles] for testing to three labs and only if the lead is found to be lower than permitted will they start manufacturing and sale again". The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) had earlier said that tests deemed the instant noodles to contain "unsafe and hazardous" amounts of lead. Nestle says its noodles are safe as seen in the results of tests conducted in other countries, including the US, Britain and Singapore. Two Indian laboratories in the western state of Goa and the southern city of Mysore also recently cleared the noodles, but the findings were dismissed by India's food safety authority, saying there were lapses in the tests. Nestle said in statement on Wednesday that it had tested 2,700 samples of the noodles by several accredited laboratories in India and abroad, and each of these tests "have shown lead to be far below the permissible limits". But the company, which has 80% of India's instant noodles market, has already destroyed 400 million packets of Maggi products. The instant noodles arrived in India in 1983 and can be found in corner shops across the country. Correction August 17 2015: this report has been changed to correct an error about the amount of noodles being destroyed

Striker Diego Costa, an unused substitute in Sunday's draw at Tottenham, was one of those pictured leaving a London nightclub. Costa, who appeared to throw his bib at Mourinho at the weekend, will be in the squad to face Bournemouth on Saturday. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is also available after recovering from a knee injury. Mourinho said the players "needed" the party, which went ahead with his consent. "The next morning everyone trained very well, they were happy. They told me the dinner was good and the after-dinner was better." Costa was left on the bench for Sunday's 0-0 draw at White Hart Lane and Mourinho would not say if the Spain striker would start against the Cherries. "He's been very good, he trained very well," said Mourinho. "Diego is the type of player who always tries. I just need him to be what he is, I don't need a reaction." Courtois has not played since September after damaging his medial ligaments. Mourinho said the Belgian will return against Bournemouth or in the Champions League game at home to Porto on Wednesday. "To lose your number one for three months, something like 19 matches without the best goalkeeper in the world, is tough for us. "Thibaut was our keeper all last season and you know how fundamental he was, it's important to have him back."

Media playback is not supported on this device The Blues are 14th in the top flight, six points off the bottom three, and their next two league games are at home to Everton and away to Arsenal. "It's reality," said Hiddink, who took over from Jose Mourinho in December. "We have two difficult games coming up. "If you don't gather points there, you don't know what the others do. The Premier League can surprise you." Chelsea were one point above the relegation zone when Mourinho departed the club. The Stamford Bridge side then beat Sunderland, after which Hiddink took over as manager. "There are 12 points difference to fourth place, which is Tottenham," added the Dutchman. "We all like to look forward and to the top of the table, but also don't be unrealistic - you're six points off the line of relegation. That's also a fact. "We have to work hard and be very concentrated and gather our points to step up."

Ben, from Sheffield, vanished when he was 21 months old during a family holiday on the island of Kos. Kerry Needham has travelled to Athens with South Yorkshire Police to appear on a missing persons programme. Mrs Needham will also meet the British ambassador to Greece, John Kittmer, to discuss her son's case. Earlier this year, South Yorkshire Police was granted Home Office funding to support the Greek authorities in continuing inquiries to find Ben. The television programme, the English translation of which is Light at the End of the Tunnel, broadcasts to about 50% of the Greek TV audience. Ben's grandmother Christine and his sister Leighanna will also participate in the programme, to be shown on Friday. In a statement tweeted from @FindBenNeedham, the account of the family's campaign, Kerry Needham said: "As part of Operation Ben I have arrived in Athens this morning with my family and detectives from South Yorkshire Police. "During our five days here we will be meeting the British ambassador for the first time in 23 years to discuss Ben's case." The statement continued: "We sincerely hope this will lead to more people coming forward with new information and will help the British and Greek police investigate the whereabouts of Ben." A spokesman for the Foreign Office said: "We have the deepest sympathies with Ben Needham's family and continue to offer them consular support. We are following this case closely and will fully assist South Yorkshire Police wherever possible." Ben vanished on 24 July, 1991, after travelling to Kos with his mother and grandparents, who were renovating a farmhouse in the village of Iraklise. In 2013, a DNA test carried out on a man in Cyprus proved he was not Ben. Mrs Needham has always maintained her son is alive and was probably abducted.

The huge cargo jet had been heading for McConnell air force base in Wichita, but instead touched down at nearby Colonel James Jabara airport. No-one was injured and no property damage occurred when the plane landed. There had been questions as to whether the aircraft would be able to depart from the much shorter runway at Jabara. The Dreamlifter normally needs a runway of 2,780m (9,119ft) to get airborne at maximum weight; Jabara's runway is only 1,860m long. A tug was dispatched to the airport to turn around the giant cargo plane. Brad Christopher of the Wichita Airport Authority told the Associated Press news agency earlier that the company operating the aircraft had "assured us they've run all the engineering calculation and performance and the aircraft is very safe for a normal departure at its current weight and conditions here". The Dreamlifter, which landed at Jabara on Wednesday evening, is a modified 747-400 passenger aeroplane, which can carry more cargo by volume than any aeroplane in the world, according to Boeing. The aerospace company uses its fleet of four Dreamlifters to transport large assembled components of its 787 Dreamliner from suppliers around the world to the final assembly location in Washington state.

Images of engineer Thomas Telford, science writer Mary Somerville and physicist James Clerk Maxwell were nominated to be on the polymer notes. They are set to be issued in Scotland in the second half of 2017. The final decision will be made after a public vote ends, running from Monday until Sunday 7 February on the bank's Facebook page. More than 400 people got in touch to nominate a Scottish figure who they felt had made a significant contribution in the field of science and innovation. Maxwell was a 19th Century pioneer of electromagnetism whose discovery of the unified theory of electricity and magnetism directly led to the application of electromagnetic radiation. Somerville lived from 1780 until 1872 at a time when women's participation in science was strongly discouraged. She was jointly nominated to be the first female member of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1835. Civil engineer Telford, known as the Colossus of Roads, lived from 1757 until 1843, and built more than 1,000 miles of roads in his lifetime. He designed numerous infrastructure projects such as the Caledonian Canal and the Telford churches, as well as harbours and tunnels. RBS chief marketing officer David Wheldon said: "I am delighted that we have been able to engage the public in this process. We received many high-quality nominations. "The strength of our shortlist is indicative of the significant contribution that Scotland has made to the field of science and innovation. I would be very proud for any of these nominees to appear on our new £10 note. "Anyone who wants to have their say should visit our Facebook page and cast a vote. I look forward to finding out which of these great figures is chosen."

Ivie Callison, 63, from Stranraer, was convicted of indecently assaulting five boys between the age of nine and 15 in Lanarkshire from 1979 until 1988. The High Court in Glasgow heard that he abused some of the boys he taught in the band - as well as other victims. Judge Sean Murphy QC told Callison: "The consequences for many of your victims will be life long." "Their parents...thought the children would be safe in your company and you abused that trust." As Callison was led away to begin his sentence one of his victims shouted: "Yes."

Councillors refused the application for land off Turners Hill Road despite a recommendation by Mid Sussex council officers that it should be granted. Turners Hill Parish Council chairwoman Thelma Mason said the site was next to Tulley's Farm entertainment complex. "It wasn't the ideal position for people in mourning," she said. The parish council and other objectors also complained about the repositioning of an ancient hedgerow and possible contamination of surface water flowing into the River Medway. The council received five letters of support welcoming the plans as a sustainable asset to the community, which addressed a shortage of burial facilities.

The 250 vehicles including lorries, cars and motorcycles, which earlier set off from Westminster, had hoped to board a ferry at 14:00 BST. Kent Police said it had been notified by the French authorities the convoy had been refused entry to France. "No agency within the United Kingdom has any grounds to challenge this decision," it said in a statement. The convoy, organised by a number of campaign groups including the People's Assembly and Stop the War Coalition, made the decision to set off from outside the Houses of Parliament at 09:00 BST, despite a public order injunction being taken out by the authorities in Calais. A spokesman for the People's Assembly said the convoy was separated from the rest of ferry traffic when it arrived in Dover. "A few cars have made it to France but they are being stopped there apparently," said Steve Sweeney. Mr Sweeney said organisers had been told the ban was to do with heightened security in France. He said they had been organising the convoy for six months and accused Kent Police of colluding with their French counterparts to prevent them from crossing. "Kent Police were taking down our number plates when we stopped on the way here," he said. "We're now holding a rally." The People's Assembly said a 38-tonne truck loaded with aid was allowed on to a EuroTunnel shuttle. A Kent Police spokesman said however, the refusal of entry to France was a matter for the French authorities. "Kent Police is working with partner agencies in planning a policing response to minimise any disruption to the community, businesses and the public," he said. The Port of Dover said the protesters later began heading back to their vehicles and returning to London after the stand-off with the French border authorities. The People's Assembly tweeted: "Convoy now reassembling and heading for the French Embassy in London for mass protest".

Media playback is not supported on this device The Swans are the only academy team in the quarter-finals of the competition and host Coventry, League One's bottom club, on Tuesday (19:30 GMT). The trophy has produced record low attendances, fines for weakened teams and a manager named as a substitute. But Toshack believes his players are better off for the experience. "For us to develop our young men as players, it's really, really important that they play against seasoned professionals," he said. "I can understand the different viewpoints on it. "But we've already had a couple of our guys go out on loan to league clubs as a result of their performances. "Overall I think it's a very good tournament and a good chance for young players to prove themselves." Swansea were one of 10 Premier League academy sides to enter the tournament. But none of the other nine - including Leicester and Chelsea - made it past the second round. "It's a fantastic achievement for Swansea City as a football club," added Toshack, who coaches the side alongside Gary Richards. "It's another opportunity to play against a men's team and prove how good they are." Striker Oliver McBurnie scored both goals as Swansea U21 beat Wolves U21 2-1 in the third round. He was on the bench on Saturday as Swansea beat Liverpool 3-2 in the Premier League at Anfield.

The law, which allows some private businesses and religious groups to refuse service to gay people, was passed last week. The singer issued a statement saying he could not "in good conscience" perform in the state. He added he found it "incomprehensible that LGBT citizens are being discriminated against". He was due to play the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi on Thursday. Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant signed HB1523 into law on 5 April amid opposition from equal rights groups and businesses. The law offers protection for Christians who adhere to traditional views of marriage and gender roles, which Governor Bryant said "protects sincerely held religious beliefs and moral convictions". The new law will take effect from 1 July. Adams said he was using his voice to "stand in solidarity with all my LGBT friends to repeal this extremely discriminatory bill". "Hopefully Mississippi will right itself and I can come back and perform for all of my many fans. I look forward to that day." Adams's cancellation comes after Bruce Springsteen cancelled a show in North Carolina last week because of a new law in that state. Springsteen joined business groups in condemning the law which rolls back local anti-discrimination measures that protected gay and transgender people.

Changing his mind won't come cheap. The total bill over the next five years for his decision will be £9.4bn. It could have been worse. Low interest rates helped keep the government's debt payments down. George Osborne will take credit for an economy that makes that possible. Rebellious Tory backbenchers, peers - particularly Labour ones - and perhaps even The Sun will all boast it was them that won the tax credit battle. They're not the only ones celebrating. Senior police officers warned, worried and lobbied their way to a guarantee they would suffer no cuts. Just as many in Westminster were sure cops were for the chop, they were pretty certain Osborne's forecast surplus would shrink. It didn't. He's seen off, for a bit anyway, some potential looming crises. The health service had already been promised more extra money up front that it might have expected, and there was a promise social care funding would rise. Like all these speeches though, just because you had to listen hard for the bad news, that that didn't mean it wasn't there. The Tory manifesto promised thirty free hours of childcare for three and four year olds with working parents. Now there will be strings attached. Only parents working for more than 16 hours with incomes less than £100,000 will qualify. Time after time government departments were told their day-to-day budgets would be cut. People rarely march on Whitehall demanding more administrators, but it's far from obvious what impact that will have. Where does all this leave the standing of a would-be Tory leader? He's managed to avoid a reputation as the man who took your tax credits away, and perhaps secured one as the man who fluffed the decision in the first place. And some Tories may wonder just how determined a cutter of the state he really is. Compare and contrast with his previous plans and he has pushed borrowing higher than it would have been. Even for an all-powerful chancellor, it's a tricky part of the job: guessing and balancing the demands of both the nation's voters and the Conservative Party electorate.

They will make it harder for firms to hide money in tax havens or play one country's tax authority against another. Firms such as Google, Amazon and Facebook must now pay tax in the country where the profits are made. The move follows public anger at the tax practices of some multinationals. Google's deal to pay £130m to the UK's HM Revenue and Customs in back taxes for the past decade has seen it widely criticised for not paying its fair share of corporate tax. The agreement between 31 nations, including France and the UK, is about sharing information rather than a new law or tax. OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría said the agreement would have "an immediate impact in boosting international co-operation on tax issues, by enhancing the transparency of multinational enterprises' operations". The agreement was hammered out at a meeting of the G20 last year, after growing anger  at the ways in which large multinationals were minimising tax. The new rules mean that international companies will have to tell the country they operate in what they make in that nation and how much tax they pay. That information will be available to every other country that has signed up to the agreement. The row over Google's £130m payment has lead to European MPs calling on the Chancellor, George Osborne, to explain the "very bad deal" that UK tax authorities have struck with search giant. The French finance minister, Michel Sapin expressed his concern. 'It's great that Google resolves its problems in the UK, but Google also has to sort out its problems in France," he said. "French law applies in France and that's what we are looking at with Google. However we do not want to reach a one-off agreement, agree on a lump sum. We are looking at what activity a particular company has in France, so that we can request a fair amount of tax. Not more nor less than other companies." Members of the European Parliament have also voiced concern about the UK deal with Google. It is understood they will ask Mr Osborne to come to Brussels to explain the settlement.

Fans have aimed protests at Meire, 31, about how the club is run. "This document is false," said a statement on the Charlton website. "The club is investigating the matter as it is something we take seriously." Companies House said the documentation had been received "in good faith" and "satisfied the required checks". The document, accessible on the Companies House website, claims Meire's position was terminated on 5 December. However, Belgian Meire, who joined Charlton's board of directors in January 2014, remains the chief executive at The Valley and the signature on the form appears to be a forgery. It incorporates and dissolves limited companies, registers the information companies are legally required to supply and makes that information available to the public. There are more than 3m limited companies registered in the UK - and 500,000 new companies are incorporated each year. Under the Companies Act 2006, an individual found guilty of filing false documents to Companies House could receive a prison term of up to two years, a fine, or both. In a statement, Companies House said Charlton had not signed up to a scheme which "would prevent false or fraudulent submissions being made". A section of Charlton supporters are calling on owner Roland Duchatelet to sell the club, having questioned his motives since he took over the Championship side in January 2014. The club, managed by Belgian Jose Riga, is currently bottom of the table, four points from safety with 16 matches remaining. Some fans formed a group called Coalition Against Roland Duchatelet (CARD), which has organised a series of protests at matches at The Valley, primarily aimed at Duchatelet and Meire. However, 69-year-old Belgian businessman Duchatelet, who has a network of clubs in Europe, insists the Addicks are not for sale. In a message on Twitter, CARD insisted it was not responsible for the false form being posted on the Companies House website.
