In a video, it promised journey times of 12 minutes between the two cities. The technology is still in testing phase so details of the deal were sketchy. Initially, it will explore the feasibility of building a line linking the two cities. Hyperloop was originally  an idea from Tesla's boss and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, who conceived the technical details of the transport system but left it to commercial firms to make the vision a reality. The high-speed transportation system would use electric propulsion to accelerate a passenger or cargo pod through a low-pressure tube at speeds of up to 700mph. The vehicle would levitate above the track, which is likely to be built on stilts above the ground. There are currently two main firms attempting to make it a reality - Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT) and Hyperloop One. Hyperloop One, which hosted its Dubai announcement at the top of the world's tallest building - the Burj Khalifa - has signed a feasibility deal with the emirate's roads and transportation agency. It will explore the possibility of using the technology at Dubai's Jebel Ali port. Journey times between Dubai and Abu Dhabi are currently an hour or more. It suggested that the system could also be used to cut journey times from Dubai to Riyadh to 48 minutes and from Dubai to Doha to 23 minutes. Rival Hyperloop firm HTT signed a deal in March to bring its technology to Slovakia, aiming to link Bratislava with Vienna and Budapest. The team at Hyperloop One is expected to unveil the first glimpse of what the transportation pods will look like soon. Prof David Bailey, from the Aston Business School, said the plan in the United Arab Emirates was "more feasible" than previous announcements to use Hyperloop to connect Los Angeles and San Francisco. "Building it through the desert means you can plan a route that is straight - it doesn't do curves very well - and the government there will see it as a way to be at the forefront of a new technology," he told the BBC. But he added there remained a lot of "technical and other hurdles" to overcome, not least whether people would want to travel at such high speeds and in such a manner.

Monmouth MP David Davies has backed the idea provided "benefits and council houses" are stopped for EU migrants. Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies has also said free movement would be acceptable with  an overall cap. Lord Hain said it showed that Brexit campaigners "sold Leave voters a pup". "They were not straight with them. Every person I bumped into on the street believed that Vote Leave would reduce or stop immigration, and Leave campaigners encouraged that belief. It was central to their success," he said. "This is frankly shameless and shameful to renege on the promises that were made." Earlier David Davies said the concept of a system continuing "some sort of freedom of movement" between the UK and the EU was "probably right" if "benefits and council houses" were stopped for EU migrants after Brexit The Vote Leave campaign had called for voters to "take back control" of borders, backing an "Australian-style" points-based immigration system. A majority of Welsh voters - as across the UK - backed Brexit in June's referendum, with much of the debate focused on immigration and the EU's system of freedom of movement. Currently, EU citizens are able to live and work across the 28-member bloc. Since Leave's success in the poll the nature of the UK's future relationship with the European Union after Brexit, and how immigration would work with remaining EU states, has been subject to debate. "We can't do anything about immigration from within the EU until we leave," the Conservative MP told the BBC's Good Morning Wales radio programme on Thursday. "Even then I think we are probably going to ensure some sort of freedom of movement for countries already in the EU, and I think that's probably right actually. But he added: "I do think we should stop providing benefits and council houses to people who are in the EU. "I think anyone who comes over here should be expected to work, and it should be clear that they have a responsibility to find that work themselves. "I think it's wrong we give people from other EU countries the same rights to benefits as someone born and brought up in Britain." During the referendum campaign David Davies took part in a BBC Wales debate where he said he was fed up of criticism for raising the issue of immigration. He claimed that because of EU membership, there was "uncontrolled migration of mainly young men" who were coming to the UK "from a variety of countries looking for a better way of life".

Red Peak, designed by Wellington resident Aaron Dustin, experienced a groundswell of public support earlier this month after failing to make the final four for the competition. Nearly 52,000 people have signed a petition calling for it to be added. PM John Key had previously ruled out making changing the final line-up. But he has now said it will be included in November's referendum, which will ask New Zealanders which of the designs they prefer. A second vote in 2016 will ask whether they want to scrap the existing flag - featuring the Union Jack - and replace it with the winner. The four finalists were not well received when they were unveiled earlier this month, with many dismissing them as boring, predictable or too corporate. Three featured a fern design and the fourth the curving koru Maori symbol. Despite the subsequent massive support for Red Peak, Mr Key had ruled out including it as a fifth entry, saying doing so would require a change to the law. But on Wednesday, Mr Key said his party would back a bill tabled by the Green party to amend the New Zealand Flag Referendums Act and allow a public say on Red Peak. "In the end, I'm not wanting to be the one that stands in the way of people having some choice," he told reporters. Green Party co-leader James Shaw said it was "kind of ridiculous that it has got to this point", and that Mr Key could have included Red Peak all along if he had wanted to. The move was both celebrated and mocked on social media. The conservative New Zealand First party, which is opposed to any changes to the flag, has said it will block the legal changes. Deputy leader Ron Mark has also criticised Red Peak as resembling the design painted on Nazi sentry boxes. "How offensive is that to veterans? It's going from farcical to ridiculous. We don't want a bar of it," he said. Red Flag's designer has said the flag uses the shape of traditional weaving patterns, and "suggests a landscape of alpine ranges, red earth, and black sky", while referencing the Maori creation myth of Ranginui and Papatuanuku, also known as Rangi and Papa. It also highlights New Zealand's position near the international dateline, which makes it one of the "first to hold the light of new day", he said.

Natural Resources Wales has issued three flood warnings and eight flood alerts for Friday, with adverse weather hitting rail and ferry services. There are also a number of road closures and drivers have been warned to allow extra time for their journeys. Network Rail has tweeted that the Macynlleth lines affected by flooding are now open. A replacement bus service  is being put in place. The disruption, affecting Arriva Trains Wales journeys between Pwllheli, Aberystwyth and Shrewsbury, is likely to last until 14:00 GMT, the company said. The Dyfi valley has also been hit by flooding. Rail passengers are advised to check services before the travel. The flood warnings have been issued for River Severn at Pool Quay and Trewern, River Severn at Aberbechan, and River Severn at Abermule and Fron. The A490 in Powys is closed in both directions between A489 at Church Stoke and B4386 at Chirbury due to flooding. Ferry company Stena Line has said sailings from Holyhead on Anglesey have been delayed and travellers should check departures. Send us your pictures of flooding in Wales: newsonline.wales@bbc.co.uk

The prosecution requested arrest warrants for four additional crew members. Eleven others, including the captain, had been detained earlier. The ferry with 476 people on board sank off South Korea on 16 April. Divers have recovered 183 bodies, but scores are missing presumed drowned. Many of the victims were students and teachers from Danwon high school, south of Seoul. The ferry sank on a trip from the port of Incheon to the island of Jeju. In the latest move on Saturday, the arrests warrants were issued for two helmsmen and two members of the steering crew. Prosecutor Yang Jung-jin, of the joint investigation team, said the four crew members were taken into custody late on Friday, the Associated Press reported. The 15 crew members are facing charges of criminal negligence and of failing to help passengers, the prosecution says. On Friday, divers found 48 bodies of students wearing lifejackets in a single room on the vessel meant to accommodate just over 30 people. The group was crammed into a dormitory and all were wearing lifejackets, a South Korean Navy officer said. The presence of so many victims in the cabin suggested many had run into the room when the ship tilted, correspondents said. The head of the operation to retrieve bodies said he had "no idea" how long the ship search would take. Furious relatives have repeatedly criticised the speed of the recovery operation. On a visit to Seoul on Friday, US President Barack Obama expressed his condolences for South Korea's "incredible loss" and offered America's solidarity. "So many were young students with their entire lives ahead of them," Mr Obama said. "I can only imagine what the parents are going through at the moment - the incredible heartache." The South Korean government has said it is "mobilising all available resources" towards the rescue effort. The prosecutors are also said to be investigating whether modifications made to the ferry made it more unstable. Factors under consideration include a turn made around the time the ship began to list, as well as wind, ocean currents and the freight it was carrying. Reports have emerged indicating that the ship's sleeping cabins were refitted some time between 2012 and 2013, which experts say may have inadvertently affected the balance of the boat.

But, his career may end in controversy after he was arrested by Brazilian police at a luxury hotel in Rio on Wednesday. When police initially called at his room, his wife told police, he had left Rio de Janeiro at the weekend and returned to Ireland. Undeterred, police began a search of the hotel and found Mr Hickey in another room that they said was under his son's name. He was escorted off the premises wearing his dressing gown to face questions about his alleged role in a scheme to sell Olympic tickets for higher than their face value - an allegation he denies. Quite a fall for a man at the top of his career. Born in Dublin in 1945, Patrick Joseph Hickey represented his country internationally in judo - a minor sport in Ireland in the 1970s. In 1979, he was appointed president of the Irish Judo Association. Five years later, he managed the Irish Olympic team at the Los Angeles Olympics. From the country's chef de mission at the 1998 Seoul and 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, he succeeded Des O'Sullivan as president of the Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) in 1988. He was subsequently elected as Irish member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1995. However, he became "a prime mover", in the OCI's words, in July 2006, when he was elected president of the European Olympic Committees. He was re-elected in 2009. From there, he progressed on to the 15-strong International Olympic Committee in 2012. Previously described by the OCI as "probably the top-ranked Irish administrator in the world of international sport", the organisation said on Wednesday that Mr Hickey had stood down temporarily from his roles after being arrested during the Rio Olympics amid illegal ticket sales claims. Married with four children, the former estate agent established the firm Hickey Auctioneers in 1977. The company is now run by his daughter and eldest son. Mr Hickey's hobbies are listed on the OCI website as "travelling, history and music".

He has been living inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London for more than four years because he fears he will be extradited to the US. Mr Assange, who has been questioned about a sex allegation in Sweden, spoke out a year after a UN legal panel ruled he should be allowed to walk free. The UK Foreign Office previously said that finding "changes nothing". In February 2016, the UN's Working Group on Arbitrary Detention found he was being "arbitrarily detained" by the UK and Sweden. Mr Assange said a year on the two governments had failed to comply with the ruling. "I call on UK and Sweden to do the right thing and restore my liberty," he said. "These two states signed treaties to recognise the UN and its human rights mechanisms." Who is Julian Assange? Timeline: Julian Assange sex case He said the UK and Swedish governments accepted the jurisdiction of the working group and did not withdraw from their 16-month investigation into his case. Mr Assange went on: "They lost, appealed and lost again. "This refusal to respect the umpire's decision comes at a terrible cost. "Other states can now illegally detain Swedish and UK citizens with effective impunity and the UN human rights system more broadly is imperilled." Mr Assange has been living in the embassy since 19 June 2012. He sought asylum after a supreme court rejected his appeal against being extradited to Sweden to face sex assault allegations. He reportedly lives in a small room with a bed, sun lamp, computer, shower, treadmill and cooking facilities. Mr Assange has refused to travel to Sweden for questioning because he fears he will then be handed over to the US over Wikileaks' release of 500,000 secret military files. WikiLeaks previously said its founder would agree to be extradited if clemency was granted to Chelsea Manning - who leaked documents to the website. The transgender US Army private, born Bradley Manning, will be freed on 17 May after former US President Barack Obama commuted her sentence. Mr Assange has said he would stand by his offer as long as his rights were protected.

Flight MU736 was heading from Sydney, Australia to Shanghai, but the pilot reported problems with the engine about one hour after taking off. Passengers, who had to spend the night in Sydney, told media they smelt something burning inside the aircraft. The Airbus A330 landed safely and there were no reports of injuries. Images circulating on social media showed a large hole in the engine casing. Several passengers said they had heard a loud sound coming from the left engine shortly after take-off. One passenger told Australia's Seven News network: "All of a sudden we heard this noise... it kind of smelt like burning". "I was really scared. Our group was terrified." One woman on the flight told news agency Reuters: "The cabin crew went out and told us to fasten our seatbelts and tried to calm us down, but we were actually very panicked because we had no idea what was happening." Passengers said the crew cleared the seats near the affected engine. China Eastern Airlines said in a statement to the media that the crew had "observed the abnormal situation of the left engine and decided to return to Sydney airport immediately". It added that all passengers would be placed on flights leaving on Monday. Aviation safety authorities are now investigating. Aviation expert Greg Waldron of consulting firm FlightGlobal told the BBC that it would be "difficult to say at this early juncture what caused such extensive damage" to the China Eastern plane. He said investigators would likely look at all possible factors and examine maintenance records of the aircraft and engine. "They will also carefully assess whether a foreign object may have played a role in this," he said. Last month, industry websites The Aviation Herald and Aero.de published pictures from social media appearing to show a similar hole in another aeroplane's engine casing. Mr Waldron added it would be "too early" to say whether the Sydney incident was linked to other cases, but it would be something investigators would consider.

Actress Angelababy is suing a clinic for defamation after it alleged she had plastic surgery done on her face. Doctors who examined her on Thursday said that her looks were genuine. It came a week after her widely-publicised wedding to actor Huang Xiaoming, who has defended her, saying she "sometimes looks quite ugly". A Beijing judge had suggested that her face be examined by medical professionals to certify its authenticity. The 26-year-old actress, whose real name is Yeung Wing, went through a series of X-ray scans and tests - which at one stage involved a doctor prodding her face - at a plastic surgery hospital in the capital on Thursday. She was accompanied by notaries public and several journalists. Hospital chief Qi Zuoliang later pronounced her looks to be genuine. "Baby's entire head and facial bones do not have any signs of incisions," he told reporters, using a popular abbreviation of the actress' stage name. News of her examination dominated discussion on Chinese social network Sina Weibo on Thursday, with many of her fans expressing support. Angelababy, who first shot to fame as a model and actress in Hong Kong, has long been dogged by rumours that she had plastic surgery, with pictures purportedly showing her natural face circulating online in recent years. She is suing Beijing beauty clinic Ruili for carrying an article on its website in 2012 alleging that she had plastic surgery, and is seeking 500,000 yuan (Â£51,000; $79,000) in compensation. She has insisted that her unique looks come from her European heritage - her paternal grandfather was German. Angelababy married Huang last Thursday in one of the biggest and most lavish celebrity weddings China had seen, which reportedly cost 200 million yuan (Â£20.3m; $31.5m). Huang has previously defended the actress, saying in a 2014 interview: "Actually she sometimes looks quite ugly to me." "I'm not an idiot, I definitely can tell she hasn't had plastic surgery, sometimes she doesn't put on make up and she really looks like those ugly pictures of her."

"I'm sorry this has been confusing," she told the cable news channel MSNBC. Her use of private email has generated a barrage of criticism as Mrs Clinton runs for the Democratic presidential nomination for the 2016 election. Critics say that her set-up was not secure, contrary to government policy, and meant to shield her from oversight. Political analysts - including fellow Democrats - have said the Clinton campaign has stumbled in its response to the controversy and Mrs Clinton had not seemed contrite - at times even making jokes about the email issue. A more sombre Mrs Clinton took full responsibility in Friday's interview, saying she didn't "stop and think" about how use of a private email account would be perceived. It has been a major issue in the presidential race. Polls show an increasing number of voters view her as "untrustworthy" due in part to the questions surrounding her email use. Under US federal law, officials' correspondence is considered to be US government property. Government employees are encouraged to use official email accounts although some top officials have used personal accounts in the past. In March, Mrs Clinton said she and her lawyers made the decision over what would be considered work-related email when the state department asked for records from former secretaries of state. The emails deemed work-related were about half of the 60,000 emails she sent in total during her time in office. The emails she deemed personal were deleted, Mrs Clinton said. Since then, the state department has been releasing the emails to the public in batches about once a month.

He said taking millions of 100-bolivar notes out of circulation had smashed the black market. The withdrawal prompted protests and looting in several states as the supply of ready cash rapidly ran out. On Saturday President Maduro postponed the withdrawal until early January. But there were still reports of rioting on Sunday as anxiety continued to run high. Local reports said some businesses were still refusing to accept the 100-bolivar notes, even though they will now remain legal tender until the new year. Venezuela pulls banknote 'to hit mafia' Venezuelans mock 'useless' banknote What is behind the crisis in Venezuela? In the western state of Tachira people raided warehouses in search of food. Many said they were afraid of what will happen next, even after the government's attempt calm the situation down with the postponement of the withdrawal. At the Colombian border there were scuffles as people scrambled to buy food and medicine, which are scarce in Venezuela. The president said that Venezuela's borders with Colombia and Brazil would remain closed until the 100-bolivar note ceases to be legal tender on 2 January, in order to prevent black market trading. Venezuelans are only allowed to cross the border on foot for family visits. Mr Maduro said on state TV 300 alleged looters had been arrested. Addressing opposition parties, he said, "Don't come and tell me they are political prisoners." He accused the riot leaders of taking instructions from President Barack Obama, alleging they wanted to engineer a coup against Venezuela's left-wing government. Mr Maduro said the first batch of new higher denomination bank notes which will replace the 100-Bolivar note would arrive on Sunday and be put into circulation.

Aberdeen's Graeme Shinnie was a notable absentee from the national coach's two separate squads named for friendlies against Czech Republic and Denmark. "I know Gordon can only pick so many, but I wouldn't swap him for anybody," said Dons boss McInnes. "I think he's the best left-back in the country." Celtic's 18-year-old left-back, Kieran Tierney, was one of six players - including Aberdeen midfielder Kenny McLean - to be called into a Scotland squad for the first time. While Tierney was named for the squad to face Denmark on 29 March, Hull City's Andrew Robertson is the natural left-back in the party to take on Czech Republic five days earlier. Versatile pair Steven Whittaker, of Norwich City, and Charlie Mulgrew, of Celtic, are also options for that role and are included in both squads. "I'm so disappointed that he's not in it," said McInnes of 24-year-old Shinnie, who joined Aberdeen from Inverness Caledonian Thistle last summer. "I'm really surprised that he's not in it. "It is just the manager's preference. It is his job to pick the squad and, let's not kid ourselves, he's done the job very well. "There is no criticism from me. I'm just disappointed for my own player but happy that Kenny's involved." Aberdeen paid St Mirren £300,000 for McLean just over a year ago. "I'm hoping Kenny goes and shows everybody at Scotland why we regard him so highly and why he's deserved his inclusion in the squad," said McInnes. "The challenge for Kenny now is to continue to improve with us, as he has been with us all season, and be a regular. "I think he's good enough to go and show that." McInnes had also been hoping that McLean's fellow 24-year-old midfielder, Ryan Jack, would receive a first call up. "Ryan's time will come, I firmly believe that," added the Dons manager. "He's just coming back from injury and it's maybe understandable why he's not in it. "He's just come back two or three games ago there, but I expect him to be pushing to be in future squads."

Heavenly Lights and Shifting Shadows at Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery tells the untold story of Margaret Rope. Born in Shrewsbury in 1882, experts say her work shows "startling modernism". But she joined a convent, requesting her work be destroyed after her death, and her "genius" went uncelebrated. Rope died aged 71 in relative obscurity. For more stories on Victorian England visit our Pinterest board Rope's colourful windows survive today in churches across the UK, Australia, South Africa and Rome - and in museums in Los Angeles and New York. Marga, as she was known to her friends, wore her hair short, smoked cheroot cigars and forged a career at a time when women were largely suppressed, Dr Sally Hoban, a historian at Birmingham University, said. "There's a story about her and her sister riding across England on their motorbikes at the beginning of the First World War," her cousin Arthur Rope said. "When they got to Suffolk they got arrested for being German spies because people couldn't imagine what two women were doing on motorbikes." Aged 18, Rope enrolled at the Birmingham School of Arts where she learned to design and make stained glass. Less than 10 years later, when she began to gain recognition for her art, Rope became a devout Catholic and chose the harsh life of poverty and prayer as a Carmelite nun, Mr Rope said. Rope joined the Carmelite Monastery in Quidenham, Norfolk, where, shut off from the world, she continued to create stained glass in a small studio. Stuart West, Shropshire Council's cabinet member for culture and leisure, said he hoped the exhibition, which runs until 15 January, would attract the recognition the artist never experienced. "Margaret Rope was one of the greatest stained glass artists of the early 20th Century, and her works can be seen all over the world," he said. "Despite her obvious genius, her name is hardly remembered at all, and we hope this exhibition - the first dedicated solely to her work and times - will give her reputation the boost it deserves." See more on the life and work of Margaret Rope on BBC Inside Out West Midlands on Monday 26 September on BBC One at 19:30 GMT and available afterwards on iPlayer.

The certificate states the cause of death was "cardiac arrest/deferred." The "deferred" reference means more investigation is needed by the coroner to find out what caused the cardiac arrest. Toxicology tests are likely to be carried out, which can take several weeks to complete. Fisher's daughter Billie Lourd is listed as the notifying party and the certificate lists "writer" as Fisher's main occupation. Although best known for her role as Princess Leia in the Star Wars films, Fisher wrote several novels and screenplays. She also worked as a script doctor, revising and polishing screenplays by other writers. Among the films she is listed as having worked on are Hook, Sister Act and Lethal Weapon 3. Fisher had been on tour promoting her book The Princess Diarist when she was taken ill on a flight from London to Los Angeles on 23 December. She never regained consciousness and died on 27 December at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Centre. Her mother Debbie Reynolds died the following day. Fisher, who had been open about her experience of mental health issues, was laid to rest alongside her mother at a private service on Saturday, with her ashes carried in an urn in the shape of a Prozac pill. Family and friends of the actresses paid their respects to the mother and daughter at a private memorial service the day before the funeral.

The BBC has heard from Britons who have already started taking steps towards obtaining dual nationality in another EU country. Some are hoping it will help them continue to live and work in the 27 other countries that make up the union while others have more ideological reasons. Name: Rachel Pilling From: London Applying for passport in: Germany Rachel has started the process of applying for German citizenship - an option that is open to her because her Jewish grandmother fled Nazi Germany in 1936 and ultimately settled in London. The naturalisation claim under article 116 of the German Basic Law allows anybody who was deprived of their German citizenship between 30 January 1933 and 8 May 1945 on political, racial or religious grounds to reclaim their citizenship.  Importantly, this also applies to any of their direct descendants. "I previously felt there would be no benefit in having a German passport as well as a British passport but if we leave the EU, then that may well change," says Rachel. "There is a real sense of sadness about this throughout my family. I have spoken to my grandmother and, while she will not be applying, she supports the idea of the rest of us doing so. Despite everything that happened in the past, she is really in favour of Europe and feels a lot of love for Europe. "At the moment I am free to study or work anywhere in the EU. I can't be certain that it will stay that way. If there were no physical advantages with regards to studying and working abroad then I probably wouldn't apply for a German passport but this could have a big influence on my life," she adds. Name: Joanne Munro From: Brighton Applying for passport in: Italy or Croatia Joanne doesn't actually think having an EU passport will make much practical difference, "except for shorter queues in the airport", and her reasons for applying are "symbolic". "I am an EU citizen and I'm not prepared to have anybody take that away from me," she says. "I feel European and looking at the bigger picture in the long term, we need to be able to act as one people, on one planet. There needs to be more unity, not more division so holding onto my European citizenship and passport is a way to stay loyal to that idea." The 44-year-old hopes her grandmother, born in a village near Trieste in modern-day Italy, may provide her route to obtaining a European passport. Initially confident that she would be eligible for an Italian passport under the legal principle of Jure Sanguinis (right of blood), a territorial dispute over which country Trieste belonged to back in 1922 has made her quest more challenging. She may have to apply for Croation citizenship instead. "It's an omni-shambles really but I have all of the paperwork and one way or another I am going to get a European passport," she says. Name: Oliver Baroni From: London Applying for passport in: Italy Oliver lives in Zurich and has both British and Swiss passports. As Switzerland is outside the European Union, the 44-year-old now faces the prospect of holding two non-EU passports. Since the result of the EU referendum, he has begun researching his Italian roots and says he is doing so for the benefit of his sons, aged eight and 18. "It just makes me mad that my kids won't be able to travel freely in Europe to study or work," he says. The musician also hopes that having another passport might help make it easier for his band, The HillBilly Moon Explosion, when they tour in Europe. "The first thing I did when it became clear that there had been a vote to leave the EU was to Google 'apply for Italian citizenship' and apparently it is not too difficult. The paperwork is likely to be a pain in the neck but it should be possible." Any claim made will be based on the fact Oliver's mother was born in Italy before moving to Switzerland and then the UK. Name: Damian Allinson From: Bristol Applying for passport in: Ireland Damian, who works in finance in London, is determined not to let Brexit undermine his links to Europe. The 25-year-old campaigned to remain in the EU and is chair of the London branch of the Young European Movement a group encouraging, dialogue, debate and involvement in European relations for young people. "Like most 'Remainers', I have not only the disappointment of losing the vote but also the knowledge that I've had a lot of my hopes and career ambitions scuppered by Brexit unless I can get EU citizenship," he says. Damian is entitled to an Irish passport as his maternal grandfather was from County Mayo. He began work on his application before the referendum was announced because he thought it would help his plans to work in the US. "I would have liked to have had the passport anyway but now I need it to retain my ties to the continent in terms of travel, work and culture." Name: Hannah Neira From: Horsham Applying for passport in: Spain Hannah's father's side of the family is Spanish and she is very close to her paternal grandparents. The 28-year-old plans to move to Spain in a few years, once her career has settled down. "Because Brexit looks like it will put a damper on my plans to nurture my Spanish side, I contacted the Spanish embassy on 24 June to start the process of obtaining a Spanish passport," she says. "I think I qualify automatically because my father has Spanish nationality, though I'm not 100% sure." She's keen not to lose her Anglo-Spanish identity and wants to retain freedom of movement as an EU citizen. "Though my Spanish is quite poor, I feel connected to Spanish culture through my grandparents. I want to keep it easy to visit them whilst they are still with us." "I want to get more acquainted with the country that resulted in my inherited habits of spending hours in lively debate over the dinner table, despairing when TV chefs put chorizo in a paella, talking at breakneck speed, eating garlic like sweets and hero-worshipping Fernando Alonso. "Just as I am acquainted with the country that trained me to say "sorry" when someone steps on my foot, get sunburned at anything over 25 degrees, tut furiously at queue-jumpers and laugh at Blackadder."

Human rights groups say Amade Oueremi's fighters executed hundreds of supporters of former President Laurent Gbagbo in the western town of Duekoue. Mr Oueremi was detained in a village close to a national park, where he had been based for more than 20 years. Some reports suggest the militia leader turned himself in. It was not immediately clear if he had been been charged with a crime. Human rights groups had criticised the new government's failure to arrest Mr Oueremi, saying that it showed it was not pursuing justice against both sides in the conflict, BBC Africa editor Richard Hamilton reports. In its September 2011 report on the post-election violence, Human Rights Watch said Mr Oueremi and his men "were identified by multiple witnesses as among the main perpetrators of the March 29 Duekoue massacre". Months afterwards UN peacekeepers collected arms from "nearly 90 members" of his group, it added. Around 3,000 people were killed in Ivory Coast after Laurent Gbagbo refused to acknowledge that his rival, Alassane Ouattara, had won a presidential run-off. Amade Oueremi's militia backed Mr Ouattara in the conflict. Mr Gbagbo is currently awaiting trial at the International Criminal Court, accused of crimes against humanity. A military commander, who insisted on anonymity because he was not authorised to discuss the operation, told Reuters news agency Mr Oueremi had turned himself amid signs the military was preparing for an operation to remove him from the national park. Denis Badouon, deputy mayor of Duekoue, said the militia leader had been taken into custody on Saturday morning in the village of Bagohouo, near Mount Peko. According to a UN report from May 2011 Mr Oueremi began supporting anti-Gbagbo rebels as early as 2000 and his men had been hoarding weapons and ammunition since then. The UN report noted that Mr Oueremi was widely believed to possess "mystical powers". In photos taken during the crisis, his shirts are pulled tightly over a collection of charms and pendants seen bulging underneath, believed to give him protection from enemy fire, Reuters notes.

The will is among a trove of documents released to US media. It was seized in the US assault in Abbotabad, Pakistan. Bin Laden urged his family to "obey my will" and to spend his inheritance on "jihad, for the sake of Allah". He referred to the money as being in Sudan, but it is not clear whether it was cash or assets. Bin Laden lived in Sudan for five years in the 1990s as a guest of the Sudanese government. It is not known whether any of the money made its way to his heirs. Other letters attributed to Bin Laden and released on Tuesday show that he: He also gave his assessment of the progress of the West's "war on terror" and the US military campaign in Afghanistan. "They thought that the war would be easy and that they would accomplish their objectives in a few days or a few weeks," he wrote. "We need to be patient a bit longer. With patience, there is victory!" Bin Laden was killed by US special forces in May 2011 in a raid on his compound in Abbotabad, Pakistan. The group has since been led by al-Qaeda's former second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri.

But he's by no means alone in ending up asleep in an unexpected spot. Sleeping in strange places is something of a national sport in China, as demonstrated by this lorry driver, pictured next to a busy road in the city of Ningbo in 40C (104F) heat. Bernd Hagemann, who took these pictures and is the author of Sleeping Chinese, puts the nation's habit of sleeping in unconventional places down to long working hours and cramped living conditions. But he also thinks it is socially more acceptable to sleep in public in China than some other countries. "Sleeping has - according to Chinese people - a very high rank in the list of values," he adds. Dozing in odd places is not unique to China of course, as demonstrated by this labourer in Jakarta, Indonesia, pictured lying on a pile of rice sacks. Michael Oko, a specialist in sleep apnoea at the Sleeping Disorders Centre, says there is no cheating the "sleep deficit". "Power naps help," he says "but they are just a temporary fix. You need sleep hygiene with a regular routine and to get between six to eight hours sleep a day. Below that, you are not going to be well." In the case of the Alaska Airlines baggage handler, Mr Oko says an investigation would most likely look at his recent shift patterns and whether he has any underlying sleep problems such as snoring or breath-holding. He says men, people over 50 and those with a body mass index of more than 35 are most likely to have sleep disorders. "Micro sleeps" when someone sleeps for moments while doing something like driving, are the most dangerous types of naps, says Mr Oko. These Indian rickshaw pullers and taxi motorcyclists in Nigeria are luckily not at the wheel. In California, the competitive world of hog contests has provided for some unusual pillows. In space, you can slumber pretty much anywhere, as long as you don't float around and bump into things. According to Guinness World Records, Soviet cosmonaut Gherman Titov was the first person to sleep in space. On board the Vostok 2 in 1961 he found his arms floating in front of him, but once he secured them with a belt he claimed to have "slept like a baby".

The sensitive information was found via a publicly available search engine that is part of Office 365. Security researchers said many firms mistakenly thought documents would only be shared with colleagues not globally. Microsoft said it would "take steps" to change the service and remove the sensitive data. Security researcher Kevin Beaumont discovered the sensitive information after using the search engine on Docs.com - a website that is part of the Office 365 online software service. Many firms use Microsoft's well-known suite of office productivity programs by subscribing to Office 365 which also gives them access to online services including Skype as well as a document-sharing and storage system. In a series of tweets, Mr Beaumont revealed some of the sensitive information he had found via the Docs.com search engine. "People clearly don't understand how the service works. It defaults to publicly accessible, which is the problem," he wrote. Other security researchers followed up his discovery and unearthed confidential business papers including lists of passwords and access codes as well as social security and National Insurance numbers. Many users complained to Microsoft via social media about documents being exposed publicly. The software giant initially reacted by removing the search box from the main Docs.com page. However, security experts following developments found that this did not remove all the exposed documents from view. "Files were still cached in Google's search results, as well as Microsoft's own search engine, Bing," wrote Zack Whittaker from tech news site ZDNet. Microsoft later took steps to block incoming searches from Google to stop information being found. However, on 27 March, the search box returned to the homepage of Docs.com. In a statement shared with several news organisations, Microsoft said: "As part of our commitment to protect customers, we're taking steps to help those who may have inadvertently published documents with sensitive information." It added: "Customers can review and update their settings by logging into their account at www.docs.com."

The deal marks F1's first commercial tie-up with a major digital service that appears on mobile devices first. The partnership will kick-off this weekend, with coverage of the British Grand Prix on Sunday via Snapchat's Our Stories format. F1 is currently looking to develop the sport on several digital platforms. The new arrangement will see footage from the racing season hosted on Snap's editorially-curated Our Stories platform. It will feature compilations of videos and pictures submitted from users at F1 events and locations around the world. The material is intended to give a different type of coverage from that seen via more traditional broadcasters. Material from the British Grand Prix that features on the Our Story stream will be made available to users in the UK and US. Snap will then go on to cover other F1 races in Singapore, Japan, the US, Mexico, Brazil and Abu Dhabi. "Our Stories allow Snapchatters at the same event to contribute their unique perspectives through video and photo Snaps to one collective Story, capturing the atmosphere and excitement," Snapchat said. Frank Arthofer, head of digital at F1, said: "This is the first step towards expanding our social media strategy. "We need to continue to bring new fans to the sport - by reaching out to them on social media platforms with behind the scenes, fun and engaging content. Snap's platform is one of the most popular among 'millennials,' a sector we are particularly keen on attracting, as it represents the future of our sport."

Maik Schneider, a local National Democratic Party (NPD) politician, was convicted of arson by a Potsdam court. He was given an additional 18-month prison term for other offences. The hall in Nauen, just west of Berlin, was burnt down in August 2015 as large numbers of asylum seekers arrived in Germany. No one was injured in the blaze but the hall was completely destroyed, with the cost of the damage estimated at â‚¬3.5m (Â£3m). An accomplice, who was not identified by the DPA news agency, was given a seven-year term, while four others were given suspended sentences of varying lengths. During the trial, 29-year-old Schneider had claimed that he was trying to send a political message but had not meant to burn down the building. He also denied that he had acted out of xenophobic motives. Many Germans consider the NPD, which has 5,000 members, to be a neo-Nazi group. Judge Theodor Horstkotter said Schneider and his accomplices had clearly acted on right-wing extremist beliefs. "The attack was meant to signal to refugees: you are not welcome here, we don't have space for you, you aren't safe here," he said. German Chancellor Angela Merkel's office describes the NPD as an "anti-democratic, xenophobic, anti-Semitic, anti-constitutional party". The six men prosecuted are reported to have previously committed other crimes, including setting fire to the car of a Polish citizen. Last month Germany's Federal Constitutional Court rejected a historic attempt to ban the NPD. The case was brought by the state governments represented in the upper house of parliament, the Bundesrat. The court ruled that the party did not have the potential to overthrow democracy in Germany.

Andrew Greene claims the character Nicky "Rugrat" Koskoff is based on him. Mr Greene worked at Stratton Oakmont, the brokerage house founded by Jordan Belfort, played by DiCaprio. The judge granted Mr Greene's motion to compel a deposition in New York on Thursday, Hollywood Reporter said. The Wolf of Wall Street, directed by Martin Scorsese, saw DiCaprio play real-life swindling stockbroker Belfort and was based on his memoirs. Mr Greene is suing producers including Paramount Pictures, Red Granite Pictures, DiCaprio's Appian Way Productions and Sikelia Productions. The character of Nicky "Rugrat" Koskoff  wore a toupee and was the subject of the movie line "swear to God, I want to choke him to death". He was played by PJ Byrne. Mr Green said the film changed his nickname from "Wigwam" to "Rugrat," adding it spread untruths about him and that damages to his reputation were worth $15m (£10.5m). The claims were rejected, but a judge allowed the claimant to assert instead that the filmmakers maliciously libelled him. Thursday's hearing, chaired by magistrate judge Steven Locke, overruled arguments that DiCaprio's testimony only serves as harassment and coercion. The defendants had argued Scorsese and screenwriter Terence Winter had already testified, and that the claimants had not stated why they needed DiCaprio to testify as he did not write the screenplay or play the character. Mr Greene has said he worked at Stratton Oakmont between 1993 and 1996 as the head of the firm's corporate finance department and a member of the board of directors. He has also said he did not consent to his image, likeness and characterisation being used in The Wolf of Wall Street. The film was a major box office hit and was nominated for five Oscars, including best picture and best actor for Leonardo DiCaprio in 2014.

They have 190 people in custody and officials have described them as "a cross section of the general public". Security has been beefed up in the city, after many women suffered sexual assaults and robberies there on New Year's Eve. Germany was shocked by the New Year assaults, largely blamed on migrants. Cologne sex attacks: Women describe 'terrible' assaults Cologne migrant 'embarrassed' at carnival More than 100 women were victims, but the full scale of events on that night only emerged later. Police said the number of sex attacks on the first night of Carnival was higher than at last year's event. A suspect was in custody after a woman was attacked and raped while on her way home, they added. The city in western Germany has deployed 2,500 police officers for the week-long event, which usually draws 1.5 million visitors. Turnout is said to be lower than usual despite the extra security, which some officials have attributed to rainy weather. Enhanced security measures include the use of "body cams" which can film suspects during incidents and are being trialled by German police. The New Year unrest in the city fuelled German unease about a huge influx of asylum seekers. Authorities spoke of a new type of crime, in which gangs of drunken men - described as North African - targeted women Migration to Germany from outside the EU soared to a record 1.1 million last year, with Chancellor Angela Merkel criticised for having welcomed so many asylum seekers.

The release of male panda Taotao, from a nature reserve in Sichuan province, follows that of Xiang Xiang in 2006, says Xinhua news agency. Scientists are hoping that the two-year-old has enough skills to survive and help increase the panda population. Xiang Xiang died in 2007 after he got into a fight with wild pandas. Taotao's mother fed him and taught him basic skills. But scientists at the Wolong Nature Reserve also drew up a survival training schedule for Taotao. Part of this involved handlers wearing panda suits to prevent familiarity with humans. Zhang Hemin, a director at China's giant panda conservation centre, told Xinhua that Taotao "has lived and grown in semi-wild conditions since he was very little", compared to Xiang Xiang. "This means its fighting capability and survival skills both improved significantly," he said. However he said that nothing was certain, as Taotao would be facing natural enemies like other wild animals. "Taotao is only the second such panda released to nature, and we remain at the experimental stage," Mr Zhang told Xinhua. Only a few thousand wild pandas survive at best, and the species is classified as being endangered. A Chinese forestry official said that China has 1,600 pandas in the wild and and 342 bred in captivity, Xinhua reported.

At a news conference with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, Mr Trump promised to deliver a "great" peace deal, but said both sides must compromise. The Israelis and Palestinians have had no substantive peace talks since 2014. In the conference, Mr Trump also asked his visitor to "hold off" on settlement building for "a little bit". Israel has approved thousands of new homes in West Bank and East Jerusalem settlements since Mr Trump took office last month. The Israeli government is hoping for better relations with the White House after eight years of friction with the former Obama administration. At Wednesday's press conference, neither leader committed explicitly to back a future independent Palestine, a longstanding bedrock of US policy. A "two-state solution" to the decades-old conflict between Israelis and Palestinians is the declared goal of their leaders and the international community. It is the shorthand for a final settlement that would see the creation of an independent state of Palestine within pre-1967 ceasefire lines in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem, living peacefully alongside Israel. The UN, the Arab League, the European Union, Russia and, until now, the US routinely restate their commitment to the concept. Reconsidering the two-state solution "So I'm looking at two states and one state," said Mr Trump. "And I like the one that both parties like. I'm very happy with the one that both parties like. "I can live with either one. I thought for a while that two states looked like it may be the easier of the two. "To be honest, if Bibi [Mr Netanyahu] and the Palestinians, if Israel and the Palestinians are happy - I'm happy with the one they like the best." He said it would ultimately be up to the parties themselves to reach a peace agreement. Mr Trump was also asked about his election promise to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which could have serious implications for any peace negotiations. "As far as the embassy moving to Jerusalem, I'd love to see that happen," Mr Trump said. "And we're looking at it very, very strongly. We're looking at it with a great care, a great care, believe me. And we'll see what happens." When he was asked about a two-state solution, Mr Netanyahu said he wanted to focus on "substance" and not "labels". "There are two prerequisites for peace," said the Israeli prime minister. "First the Palestinians must recognise the Jewish state. "Second, in any peace agreement, Israel must retain the overriding security control over the entire area west of the Jordan River." Meanwhile the Palestinian presidency stressed its commitment to a two-state solution and an end to the Israeli occupation, Reuters news agency reported. Earlier officials had urged the White House not to abandon the concept of a Palestinian state. The presidency said it was ready to "deal positively" with the Trump administration, and agreed with Mr Trump's call for Israel to hold off on settlement building. It was the US and Israeli leaders' first face-to-face meeting since Mr Trump's victory in the 2016 presidential election. A retreat from US backing for a two-state solution would upend decades of American - and international - policy embraced by Republican and Democratic administrations. On Tuesday, a senior White House official signalled a potential policy shift by saying peace did not necessarily have to entail Palestinian statehood, and that Mr Trump would not try to "dictate" a solution. More than 600,000 Jews live in about 140 settlements built since Israel's 1967 occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem - land Palestinians claim for a future state. The settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this. A relatively large group of journalists followed Mr Netanyahu from Israel to cover his first meeting with President Trump. A lot was at stake, especially after the eight years of the strained relations with the Obama administration. Ahead of the meeting, the general sentiment among them concerned the lack of clarity on how the meeting between the two leaders would go. Whether they will get along and mostly what will be said on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the two-state solution, a formula which has been a long-term tenet of US and Israeli policy. Waiting in the East Room for the press conference, journalists were filing reports, posting on social media and also getting their selfies taken with White House insignias. So did Israeli officials. The two leaders entered the room, and as very warm words were exchanged, it looked like the turning of a page in the relationship between the two countries. But perhaps it was also another turning point, departing from the two-state solution formula, a term they avoided using. Their  confidence gave the impression that some sort of regional deal is perhaps already being explored with moderate Arab countries. The journalists were left guessing how this will play out or, as Trump put it, "we will see".

Children from a nursery school spent a week in Caernarfon's Maesincla day care centre as part of the Bangor University project. Experts said the experiment shows the benefits of bringing children and older people together. The results will be broadcast as part of an S4C documentary, Hen Plant Bach. Maesincla day centre manager Idwen Roberts said: "I was a bit scared of the unknown when this started, but the results have been brilliant. "One lady had no children and hadn't got the confidence to do anything with kids. She didn't know how to handle it, or what to say to the children. "But by the end of the week, she was making hats with them and they were sitting on her knee. She opened up and came into her own. "It was great - I don't want this to stop." Glyn Hughes, 84, suffered a stroke 15 years ago and has trouble with his speech. Day centre staff said he sometimes gets frustrated and angry with himself, and were worried about how the children would respond to him. But they were surprised by the results. Bangor University psychologist Nia Williams explained that, like Mr Hughes, the children cannot rely on their speech, so they were able to understand his gestures and hand movements. Ms Williams added: "As a result, by the end of the week, Glyn managed to use more language â€‹â€‹than usual and started phrasing clearly. "The result was extraordinary, but shows the psychological benefit of bringing children and older people together."

The Sydney Morning Herald claimed they disagreed over a deadline for proving Clarke's fitness for the World Cup, which begins on 14 February. Clarke, 33, made 51 playing grade cricket for Western Suburbs on Saturday on his return from hamstring surgery. "I've copped it my whole career. It's another day, it's another newspaper sold. I don't really care," he said. "Some people are going to write what they want." Batsman Clarke has not played since having surgery on a hamstring injury sustained in the first Test against India in December. In January, he was named in Australia's 15-man World Cup squad, on condition he proved his fitness in time for their second group game against Bangladesh in Brisbane on 21 February. Clarke is reported to think their fourth match against Afghanistan in Perth on 4 March is more realistic. However, he said: "I'm really happy and comfortable with my relationship with Cricket Australia, firstly, certainly with my team-mates, so it's water off a duck's back.

Mr Cunha was accused of taking $5m in bribes from a company that won contracts with the state oil company, Petrobras. He has vigorously rejected all the allegations. Mr Cunha was for many years one of Brazil's most powerful politicians. He led the impeachment process against President Dilma Rousseff, who was dismissed in August. Mr Cunha, from the centre-right PMDB party, was expelled from the Brazilian Congress last month. He was arrested in the capital, Brasilia, and has been transferred to the southern city of Curitiba, where federal judge Sergio Moro is leading the corruption probe. Mr Moro said he had ordered the arrest because there was "a real possibility of [Mr Cunha] fleeing the country as he has resources hidden abroad". The fact that he has dual Brazilian and Italian citizenship also increased the risk of him trying to evade justice, added Mr Moro. Mr Cunha has been detained for an indeterminate period. Petrobras is at the centre of a massive kickbacks scandal which cost the company $2bn (Â£1.5bn) and has led to the arrest of dozens of lawmakers and top businessmen. At least three businessmen have said under interrogation that they paid bribes to Mr Cunha, which they deposited in his overseas accounts. Along with his seat he has lost the partial immunity from prosecution that comes with being an elected representative. In March 2015 Mr Cunha stated that he did not have "any type of account anywhere that is not declared on my income tax". But authorities in Switzerland later gave information to a corruption inquiry in Brazil stating that Mr Cunha and his wife, former journalist Claudia Cruz, were beneficiaries of secret accounts worth about $5m (Â£3.7m). During the proceedings against him in Congress, Mr Cunha threatened to reveal secrets and destroy the reputation of many of those who, in his opinion, had betrayed him. Former President Dilma Rousseff said Mr Cunha had decided to accept a request to open her impeachment case in December last year after she refused to back him up in a corruption probe in Congress. She was replaced by her vice-president, Michel Temer, who is also from the PMDB party. Ms Rousseff accused Mr Temer of leading a political coup against her left-wing government.

The series, which originally ran from 2000-07, sees cast members Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel reunited in the mother-daughter comedy drama. It also features the return of original cast members Melissa McCarthy and Scott Patterson. Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life will feature four 90-minute episodes, each covering a season of the year. A trailer offering a first look at the new series attracted almost one million views on YouTube in its first 24 hours online. Speaking at a press conference promoting the show, Graham said the entire cast easily fell back into working together again. "Everything was like, 'Oh, here's the chemistry we had from the very first day we met,' and it was just a joy to revisit," she said. The cast also revealed what fans can expect from the new series, which sees Rory return to her mother in the fictional town of Stars Hollow from her new life in London. Bledel teased "people's questions will be answered" when questioned about her character Rory's love life. The episodes will also deal with the death of Lorelai's father, Richard, following the death in 2014 of actor Edward Herrmann who played the role. Show creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, who has also returned to write the new episodes, said she would have preferred them to have been released gradually, rather than all in one go on the streaming platform.

The second stage of the Human Transplantation Bill was passed in the Northern Ireland Assembly on Monday. It would introduce a so-called soft "opt-out" system. But Health Minister Simon Hamilton said transplant surgeons had written to him urging caution about any law change. The proposed legislation would mean consent to take organs would be presumed unless someone had taken action to remove themselves from the register. Additional safeguards would also mean that a "qualifying person", a friend or relative, for example, would have to affirm that the deceased person would not have objected. The bill will now be referred to the assembly's health committee, and will face several more stages before it could become law. Surgeons said that in countries where opt-out was enforced, higher organ donation rates were down to public awareness rather than legislation. In their letter, Belfast Health Trust surgeons said that per head of population the number of living kidney donors in Northern Ireland was more than twice the UK average. They said that was down to the generosity of people in Northern Ireland and the public attitude towards transplantation. "While fully supportive of the principle of increasing the number of deceased donor organs available to provide life-saving transplantation, we are cautious about any change which, although well-meaning, may potentially have a detrimental impact on the public's willingness to donate," they wrote. The surgeons suggested waiting to see the impact of recent promotion campaigns and changes to legislation in other devolved regions. "Deferring any change would allow firstly for re-evaluation of the impact of the Public Health Agency's public education campaign, and secondly assessment of the impact of a similar change made by the Welsh assembly which will take effect on 1 December 2015."

Mr Trump signalled in January he would block the passage of the 12-nation pact in order to protect American jobs. Trade ministers from the 11 remaining countries have met in Vietnam to get the deal back on track. The representatives also agreed to help the US rejoin the deal at any time. The bid to revive the TPP, which would have covered 40% of the global economy, was led by trade ministers from Japan, Australia and New Zealand. New Zealand trade minister Todd McClay said the remaining countries "are committed to finding a way forward to deliver" the deal. Although the door will be kept open for the US to rejoin the pact, its trade representative Robert Lighthizer said it would not return to the TPP. "The United States pulled out of the TPP and it's not going to change that decision."

Her case was dismissed on the basis that it was brought well outside a 14-day time limit for seeking to judicially review her exclusion. The inquiry was announced by the Northern Ireland Executive in 2010. It followed a damning report in the Republic of Ireland into decades of abuse in some religious institutions. With the inquiry set to get under way early next year, a judge said it was never intended to widen the tribunal's scope. Any extension of its remit would mean it could not complete its work on time or in budget, Belfast High Court was told. Mr Justice Treacy's verdict appears to have closed the door to others who claim they were abused while being fostered. Headed by the retired judge Sir Anthony Hart, it will examine claims of abuse in children's homes, care institutions and borstals between 1922 and 1995. The woman at the centre of the legal challenge cannot be identified. She claims she was abused after being taken into care and put into a foster home by social services in the early 1990s. Although she wanted to participate in the inquiry, she was informed earlier this year that her case did not fall within its terms of reference. Seeking to judicially review that decision, her legal team contended it was the state who placed her into foster care. According to them the inquiry is looking into any alleged failings by institutions or the state. Counsel for the inquiry argued, however, that foster care cases were never intended to be part of its remit. The court was also told of a stipulation that any judicial review proceedings must be brought within 14 days of being informed of the inquiry's decision. It made little difference whether that was in April or June this year in the woman's case, according to Mr Justice Treacy. "The proceedings were issued in either event well outside the time limit," he said. "No sufficient reason has been advanced to explain the delay, and no sufficient reason was given to persuade me that it would be appropriate to extend time." Dismissing the application for leave to seek a judicial review, the judge added that neither the Stormont Executive or Assembly intended the inquiry's remit to include investigating alleged foster care abuse.

The 4-2 win over the Londoners kept alive hopes of a play-off place and means the Rams have seven points from nine since Rowett's appointment. Derby are seven points adrift of the top six with six games remaining. "When we are out of possession of the ball, we have to be better," 43-year-old Rowett told BBC Radio Derby. "Our forward players will hurt any team and that is why our defensive structure is even more important." Derby's win on Tuesday cut the gap to Fulham to five points. Sheffield Wednesday are still seven points clear in the final play-off spot, but must play both Derby and Fulham before the end of the season. Rowett said the players are responding well to the changes he has made but said they must work harder in the six-game run-in. "We have to be far more aggressive and intense in the way we defend," he added. "If we can get that right more consistently then we have the quality to win games against any team."

Question: Derby County manager Gary Rowett has @placeholder a defensive improvement from his side despite an impressive victory over high - flying Fulham .


Esma Redzepova died in Skopje following a short illness, according to hospital and family sources. Redzepova represented Macedonia in Eurovision 2013 and sung the opening credits for the 2006 film Borat. But she boasted a career spanning more than five decades, during which she battled racism and prejudice of various kinds. Redzepova spoke out for the rights of Roma women, and against the criticism of her career and choice to marry and collaborate with composer Stevo Teodosievski, who was not from the Roma community. Her humanitarian work, which extended to fostering 47 children over her lifetime, led her to be nominated three times for the Nobel Peace Prize, according to the Roma Times. Redzepova, who performed at venues across the world over the course of her career, was first acclaimed as the Queen of Romany Song in 1976, at a world festival of Romany music held in India. Known for her extravagant outfits and perfectly-controlled powerful voice, she had a rich repertoire of hundreds of songs, mixing traditional Roma and Macedonian music with contemporary sound, including pop and electro music, working closely with young artists across the Balkans.

Six Nations organisers had ruled Marler would not be punished for his comments made during a game on 12 March. But World Rugby, which governs the international game, says his remarks "amount to misconduct and/or a breach" of its code of conduct. The case will be heard "as soon as practically possible". Marler apologised to Lee, who is from the Traveller community, at half-time during England's 25-21 win over Wales at Twickenham. The Harlequins player was subsequently reprimanded by England head coach Eddie Jones, but the decision not to sanction him caused upset. Campaigners from the Traveller community - and figures inside the sport - were critical of Marler for making the comment and called for a ban. The Welsh Rugby Union was also disappointed with the outcome. It released a statement saying: "We stand by our belief that there is no place for the use of racist language in sport." Like Lee, Wales head coach Warren Gatland described the incident as "banter" but later apologised following criticism. Meanwhile, Conor O'Shea, Marler's club coach at Harlequins, has leant his support to the under-fire forward. "He is not in any way shape or form racist," O'Shea said. "He is an edgy person, he made a mistake and he apologised. "Does he know that he has got a responsibility? Of course he does. Do we accept it? Of course we don't, but some of the vitriol that has been directed to him is tough for a 25-year old to take and he has to take it on the chin."

On the one hand Ed Miliband is slowly and steadily introducing himself to voters as a potential prime minister. The Labour leader has always argued that the more voters see of him the more they will rate him. Last night he was able to use attacks from the left - on austerity and Trident - as well as assaults from the right - on Europe and immigration - to look statesmanlike. David Cameron's absence gave Mr Miliband the chance to taunt the absent prime minister for his lack of political courage. It also allowed him to focus his fire on the SNP's Nicola Sturgeon, trying to create a distance which he has, so far, struggled to create. He rejected her repeated invitations to work together to "get rid of the Tories". On the other hand the debate confirmed that the battle for Scotland is the defining drama of this election campaign. The images of the night, the video clips and the memorable sound bites are all of Ed v Nicola. Conservative HQ and the Tory press will take delight in using them to conjure up the spectre of a weak minority Labour government being forced to deal with and placate a rampant SNP. They will point out that for all the times the Labour leader rejects the idea of a coalition with the nationalists he does not - he cannot afford to - rule out the need for a deal or deals to get him into Number 10. What remains totally and fascinatingly unpredictable is which narrative will have the greatest hold on the electorate - growing respect for Ed Miliband as a potential occupant of Number 10 or growing fear of what a government led by him, which was dependent on SNP support, might be like

Question: On the morning after the debate before , it is clear the election is @placeholder being defined by two competing narratives .


Maradona had his first gastric bypass 10 years ago but has since gained weight and developed complications. "He told me he was feeling fine, that he wasn't in any pain," said Dr Carlos Felipe Chaux after the procedure. Maradona had surgery in the Venezuelan city of Maracaibo. He will stay in the city for at least eight days before travelling to capital Caracas to complete his recovery. Maradona led Argentina to World Cup triumph in 1986 with a series of virtuoso performances, before finishing as runners-up four years later. He was banned for 15 months after testing positive for cocaine while playing for Italian side Napoli in 1991 and was thrown out of the 1994 World Cup for the use of banned substance ephedrine. He has also struggled with obesity and alcohol addiction. Maradona travelled to England to support Argentina in the Rugby World Cup last month, cheering on the Pumas in their pool match against Tonga in Leicester and semi-final defeat by Australia at Twickenham.

Glenn Smith, who runs The Ritz in Brighouse, received a letter demanding he rename the music venue and surrender a number of internet and social media accounts. The venue has operated under the name since 1937. The Ritz in London declined to comment when approached by the BBC. Mr Smith said he thought the initial email from lawyers acting for the hotel, which opened in 1906, was a scam. But he later realised it was serious when a hard copy of the letter arrived in the post. "Not only do they want us to change the name but they want us to surrender all our domains, our Twitter and our Facebook," he said. "It will completely shut us off from the outside world and make it almost impossible to promote events in the future." He said the venue had worked hard at building an online presence and any change of name could affect its future. "We are working to see how we can get around this but at the moment the future is looking very bleak," he said. "How can we generate income without the events and how can we have the events without generating interest on the internet?" In 2012 a wedding venue in Northamptonshire, called The Ritz, was forced to change its name to the Banqueting & Conference Suites at the Kettering Ritz following a similar request. Owner Kris Malde said: "I feel very sorry for Mr Smith. He's trying to to earn a living. Nobody is going to mistake the Yorkshire Ritz for the one in London."

Left-leaning Moon Jae-in is the clear front-runner with centrist Ahn Cheol-soo his nearest challenger. The election is being closely watched at a time of economic uncertainty and heightened tensions with North Korea. Mr Moon wants to increase contact with the North in contrast to ex-leader Park Geun-hye who cut almost all ties. On the final day of campaigning, Mr Moon called for an "overwhelming victory", saying it would help to heal a national divide caused by the downfall and impeachment of conservative Ms Park. Mr Ahn, campaigning in swing states, said he was still confident he could win. In March, Park Geun-hye became the first South Korean president to be removed from power by impeachment. She denies wrongdoing - though has repeatedly apologised  - and is standing trial on charges of bribery and abuse of power. Mr Moon narrowly lost to Ms Park in the last presidential election in 2012. He has been critical of the two previous conservative administrations for failing to stop North Korea's weapons development. He says he favours a two-track approach to encourage change, using increased dialogue alongside sanctions. The BBC's Korea correspondent Stephen Evans says this could lead to tensions with Washington. If US President Donald Trump pursues a hard line against the North - especially if it stages another nuclear test - Mr Moon's approach could cause greater tension between Seoul and Washington, he says. As well as North Korea, domestic issues are high on the agenda for voters. All the candidates are promising to protect the fragile recovery in South Korea's economy - the fourth largest in Asia - and to bring down youth unemployment, which remains stubbornly high. There are also promises to rein in perceptions of elitism in South Korean political society and reform the family-run conglomerates - chaebols - which dominate the domestic economy. Observers are expecting a high turnout at the ballot boxes, with numbers boosted by younger voters. Polls close at 20:00 local time (11:00 GMT), with the winner expected to be announced soon after.

It had been hoped the Rigg North scheme could provide 30 jobs. However, coal production firm Hargreaves has now informed Dumfries and Galloway Council it does not wish to take the project forward. The Scottish Opencast Communities Alliance (SOCA) welcomed the move and called for other schemes to be dropped. Hargreaves told the council it had undertaken a comprehensive review of the Rigg North project. It said the coal industry had been going through a "very tough time" in recent years. The company added that forecasts did not predict a rise in prices in the "foreseeable future". That has prompted the company to conclude that it was "difficult to foresee a time" when conditions would be right to start operations. It said that it acknowledged that it was unfair to leave the scheme in abeyance for an "excessive period" as the uncertainty left an "element of blight over neighbouring properties". The company stressed that despite the decision it remained "very committed" to the region. The decision to withdraw the application was welcomed by SOCA chairman Malcolm Spaven who called for other applications by a number of different companies across Scotland to be withdrawn. "They're zombie applications, with no prospect of being developed, because the market for coal has collapsed," he said. "We welcome the withdrawal of Rigg North and Hargreaves' admission that keeping it going caused blight to local communities." He claimed it was time to "finally dispel the myth" that extracting more coal could provide jobs and fund restoration. "We need all parties - local authorities, Scottish and UK governments and the coal operators - to focus on finding the money to properly restore the many abandoned sites across the country," he said. He cited sites in Midlothian, East Ayrshire, South Lanarkshire, North Lanarkshire, Fife and Falkirk as examples of similar applications to the one at Rigg North.

The cornerstone of the Temple of Divine Providence in Warsaw was laid in 1792, but a Russian invasion and two world wars stalled progress. The most recent work began in 2003, attracting â‚¬50m (Â£43m; $54m) in private donations. For Poland's conservative government, the shrine is an emblem of perseverance - and nationalism. The country has a large Roman Catholic majority, and the Church continues to influence its politics and social affairs. An inaugural Mass was celebrated at the temple, with Poland's Prime Minister Beata Szydlo and President Andrzej Duda in attendance. Archbishop Stanislaw Gadecki cited John Paul II, the Polish former Pope, in calling for a "responsible" use of freedom and warning against the "arrogance of power". Even after two centuries, work on the church is is not yet over. Some painting is unfinished and the stained-glass windows are yet to be completed. Around â‚¬7m more in donations is needed to finish the job. Not everyone in Poland approves of the building, whose stylised rotunda has earned it the unflattering nickname "the giant lemon juicer". In reward for their 224-year wait, visitors to the temple will be treated to superb acoustics, and lighting which can be changed to reflect different periods of the Church calendar. Poland: A brief history Polish parliament rejects abortion ban Pope urges youth to accept migrants As well as the church, the complex includes a pantheon of great Poles, and a museum commemorating Pope John Paul II and Stefan Wyszynski, the leader of the Catholic Church in Poland under Communist rule. The temple was lit up in Poland's national colours of red and white to mark the nation's 98th Independence Day.

Edmund Hall, who started the campaign, said he wanted to thank workers after Monday's bombing which killed 22 people and left 116 needing inpatient care. He said he had been "choked up" by the response. The Royal Manchester Children's Hospital whose staff each got a free pint at the Turing Tap said it was "gratefully received". A tab has been open at the Turing Tap in Manchester's Oxford Road, near the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, for emergency services and hospital staff since 18:00 BST on Tuesday. Mr Hall, a managing partner at PR firm Expert Media Partners, said people working shifts after a bombing "shouldn't buy their own drinks". "I know alcohol isn't the answer to the stress and trauma that the emergency services have experienced but it seems a simple and easy way to say thank you." He said: "Nothing we've done today will fix the damage, or lessen the pain of those directly affected but emergency service and hospital workers should know that if we were there... we would buy them a drink." Richard Perrin, theatre information manager at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, thanked those who had donated money. He posted on the crowdfunding page: "Me, my colleagues from children's theatres and the paediatric wards and all the other staff from the Central Manchester hospitals who had a pint or two on Friday night because of your generosity would like to say a massive thank you." "As you say, alcohol is not the answer to dealing with stress, but being able to go out in a non-hospital space with colleagues who have worked their behinds off this week and not have to think if they can afford a round did really help." He continued: "As you can imagine, it's been a difficult week for many of us. "Away from patients, there have been tears shed. Quite a lot of tears, if I'm honest. The quiet generosity of people and businesses has been incredible and helped tired bodies - and morale - to make it through." He said having a bank holiday after the events of this week was "a bonus" but a number of staff had volunteered to work over the weekend "given that we're going to be treating and operating on the victims on a daily basis for weeks to come". A fund to support the victims of the Manchester attack - We Love Manchester Emergency Fund - has now received more than £5.5m in donations.

The organisation is being investigated by UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) over claims regarding medication given to riders. "The success is built off evidence-based programmes and the evidence will come out," he told BBC Radio 5 live. Sutton left British Cycling in April amid allegations of sexism - though he denies the "specific claims" - and will attend a hearing this week. "It's something I'm not at liberty to talk about but this is sport - you never say never," the 59-year-old Australian told Sportsweek when asked if he might return to his post. "We'll have to wait and see. People have talked about it but nobody has asked me to go back. Let's just let time run its course." After a week in which BBC Sport revealed that British Cycling chief executive Ian Drake is to leave, Sutton said he welcomed the chance for the sport to clear its name after a series of damaging stories. In an interview last month with BBC sports editor Dan Roan, Team Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford denied that they "cross the line" in the use of performance-enhancing drugs. Media playback is not supported on this device That came after it was revealed Sir Bradley Wiggins sought therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) to take anti-inflammatory drug triamcinolone for allergies and respiratory issues - something the cyclist said was to "put himself back on a level playing field". "Our record at British Cycling speaks for itself and our record at Sky is brilliant - they have endorsed clean cycling from day one," Sutton added. "I am strong in the belief that we have a great leader in Sir Dave Brailsford and, from a clean sport perspective, he has been a great enforcer - so let the truth come out and let's move on." Sutton also denied knowing what was inside a medical package allegedly delivered to France by a British Cycling coach on the day Wiggins won the Criterium du Dauphine in 2011. He did, though, offer his support to 36-year-old Wiggins, Britain's most decorated Olympian and a Tour de France winner in 2012, describing him as "one of the greats, if not the greatest athlete ever". "I work with Wiggins and from what I have read and seen, there is no wrongdoing on his part," he said. "We need to get back behind him. We are talking about a true professional here."

Carwyn Scott-Howell was on holiday with family when police say he fell 160ft (49m) after straying off piste. In a statement his family said he was a "very competent skier and snowboarder". His family said they were skiing together when Carwyn's sister "lost her ski on a jump" and Carwyn skied ahead. The accident happened in Flaine, 38 miles north west of Chamonix. In their statement released through the Foreign Office, the family described Carwyn as an "adorable, caring person" who learned to ski from the age of three. The statement went on to explain how the family became separated on their last run of the day on Friday afternoon. It said: "The family were all enjoying their last ski run over the small jumps and bumps at the side of the slope together, when Carwyn's sister lost her ski on a jump and at this point Carwyn skied ahead. "The family cannot explain their feeling of utter devastation with a vast void in their hearts. "The family would like to thank all their friends and family for their support at this time and the vast help from the British Consulate." Police chief Patrick Poirot, head of the mountain rescue division in the nearby town of Annecy, said yesterday that police believed the boy did not know where to go after losing his parents and skied in the wrong direction. He said: "He left the marked ski slope and probably skied to the top of a cliff. "He then stopped, removed his skis, walked a little way and then fell." The family have a farm in the small village of Talybont-on-Usk in the Brecon Beacons, where Carwyn's parents Ceri and Rhys run an award-winning produce business and rent holiday cottages. Liam Fitzpatrick, an independent county councillor for the village, said the community was "in absolute shock". "He was seven years old, it's horrendous. A tragic, tragic accident," he said. "We just can't comprehend it. "It's a small village and everyone knows each other, especially his parents who are well-known because of their business. "There will be massive support here for them when they come back. The community will be ready to assist in any way it possible can. "It's impossible to know what they are going through at the moment."
