Austria's leader, Chancellor Werner Faymann, said the subsidies should support "new and modern technology" in the interest of all EU states. But he argued this subsidy does not apply to atomic energy "in any way". EDF Energy said Hinkley is an appropriate way for the UK to meet its need for low carbon electricity. An EDF spokesperson said: "The agreements... are durable because they are fair and balanced. "They were approved by the European Commission following a robust and lengthy investigation. "It found that the agreements were an appropriate and proportionate way for the UK to meet its need for secure, low carbon electricity. " The Austrians argued a deal by the UK government to guarantee the price of electricity from the nuclear plant breaches European rules on state aid. But last October, the European Commission said the deal was within EU rules. The power station, near Bridgwater in Somerset, is due to be up-and-running by 2023.

The Ospreys scrum-half scored an early try but Wales failed to capitalise on leading 16-8 at half-time. Webb, 26, says the second-half collapse against England has provided extra motivation to do well at Murrayfield. "There's been an extra bit of sharpness in training. Everyone's positive. It's big for us to repay our fans," he said. Media playback is not supported on this device Webb says despite the defeat to bitter rivals England, he has received a largely positive response from the Welsh public, although he had "a couple of comments" that he "took on the chin". Scotland were praised for a gallant display in their 15-8 defeat by France last weekend. It came following an encouraging autumn campaign in which they beat Tonga and Argentina and threatened to cause an upset against New Zealand. But they have lost their last seven meetings against Wales including a 51-3 defeat in Cardiff in 2014. Wales have made two changes from their defeat against England, with wing George North making way for Liam Williams and tight-head prop Aaron Jarvis replacing Samson Lee, who is ruled out with concussion. Media playback is not supported on this device Webb is expecting a tough test against the Scots, but says Wales have nothing to fear. "They can take a lot of positives from the game against France," said Webb. "Obviously with the new coaching set up it's taken them in a slightly different direction and you can see that from the way they are playing and they'll be full of confidence going into the game. "But our record is good against them and that's a positive for us and the boys love going to Murrayfield and playing so hopefully we can put a good performance in."

I include in that the anti-Americanism that surrounded the invasion of Iraq and the trauma of the financial crash. Dispirited. Back in 2004 and 2008 Americans were by and large united, or at the very least they were not so angrily divided. One might think that the sight of swastikas on American streets would indeed unite the country in unwavering purpose. Not so. The country is so mired in political division that even Nazi symbols have become political symbols some can live with if they feel that condemning them would give succor to their opposition. And the man running the country is actively widening that divide. There's little point parsing the rationale of President Trump's defence yesterday of the "fine people" who took part in the white supremacist march in Charlottesville. I doubt he himself was even trying to make a reasoned case. I suspect that rant of a press conference was driven more by his sense of personal grievance - his anger at being attacked over his initial response to Charlottesville - than by his views on race. But Mr Trump's failure to unambiguously and repeatedly condemn those far-right, racist groups gives them oxygen and strikes a blow at the heart of American identity. American prides itself on being centrist, on not having the European tendency of flirting with extremist groups. Respected veteran political commentators have often told me that the US always gravitates to the centre ground. It sure didn't look like that in Charlottesville - ask Germany, or Italy, or Spain. And if America is going to become just another country, albeit with a lot more weapons, no wonder the world is revising its opinion. Dismissive. The degree to which Americans talk about themselves as a special, unique country has often struck me as a little grandiose. You don't hear the French, or Brits, or Australians talk about themselves that way - though they may well feel it. But perhaps it takes the loss of that uniqueness to make us realise how real it was and how much the world relied on it. This summer I spent time in the UK, France and Spain. In all three countries, leaders are trying to figure out how to get by without American leadership on critical issues like climate change and trade, while the general publics increasingly see the US as a non entity. It's not even seen as a joke, people are saddened by America's diminished global status. Europeans have long had a complicated and somewhat insecure relationship with the US, part admiration, part jealousy, part irritation. But this year the reaction in Europe to America felt different. Continental Europe is feeling more confident, the economy is doing better and far right groups have been defeated at the ballot box. Even Britain's decision to withdraw from the EU doesn't get much attention - Brexit is old news in France and Germany. That newfound confidence, mixed with America's clear dysfunction, does indeed create a sense of dismissiveness. For many Europeans, indeed many foreigners, Trump is a spectacle, a reality show on steroids. But that's about the sum of Europe's interest in America right now. Mr Trump's approval ratings are slipping fast. The overwhelming majority of Americans are appalled by all that the hideous scenes in Charlottesville represent. Nothing is getting done in Congress. No wonder Americans are feeling disheartened. No wonder the world is figuring out how to get things done without their global superpower.

Recruits to Tilbury station in Essex were singled out and endured physical and indecent abuse in the late 80s and early 90s, Basildon Crown Court heard. Anthony Benham, 50, of Stanford-le Hope, and Ian Maguire, 55, of Benfleet, pleaded not guilty to indecent assault. They also denied 10 counts of false imprisonment between 1988 and 1997. Firefighters have claimed they were tied to a stretcher and hung up in the air, locked in a small room which was filled with water and then urinated upon through a skylight window. One firefighter alleges he was cling-filmed to a lamppost and had ice blocks attached to his private parts. In another "extreme prank", a man claims he had a muscle relaxant rubbed over his private parts. The court was told what happened at the station "went beyond any acceptable practical joke". Prosecutor Stephen Rose said: "Both of these defendants took advantage of that culture of practical jokes and intimidation to engage and indulge in acts of indecent degradation to new recruits. "This occurred in a climate of fear in which none of these young recruits felt able to challenge the senior firefighters. "It would be obvious to both defendants throughout that none of these young men were consenting to any of these incidents of restraint or indecency." Both defendants no longer work for the fire service, but Mr Maguire later joined the police and Mr Benham retired from ill health, the court heard. Tilbury fire station closed in 1997. The trial continues.

The colourful motion graphics will illuminate the iconic building's sails to help launch the Vivid Sydney light festival. "Each creature represents a different emotion," says Ash Bolland, a music video and TV advert director who conceived the display. "It's based on the idea of turning the opera house into a living, breathing entity." Bolland's mesmerising spectacle, Audio Creatures, will be set to electronic music by a Brazilian producer, Amon Tobin. As with previous years, crowds are expected to pack the harbour-side setting and other locations for the popular winter festival. To create the artwork, Bolland sketched his ideas and concept art on a computer. The motion graphics were then completed by an animation company. "I've got friends who are mixed up in the world of image projection," the New Zealand-raised Australian says. "The stuff that is successful for me is when you modify or transform the building. My plan with the Audio Creatures is to tell a story that is thrilling, exciting and feels like an old '80s sci-fi film." Vivid Sydney features art and music installations from 26 May to 17 June. When the festival began nine years ago, it drew 200,000 people. Last year there were 2.3 million attendees, injecting A$110m (Â£63m; $82m) into the local economy. Event organisers also credit it with attracting interstate and international tourists. This year, other installations include a street art mural in the city centre and sculptures of giant sunflowers in the Royal Botanic Garden. At Sydney's Taronga Zoo, oversized lanterns shaped like Tasmanian devils and crocodiles will entertain visitors, as will a 20m (65ft) walk-through shark. Elsewhere, an optical illusion featuring a giant sinkhole will mimic the Aurora Australis. "For me, it's just bringing people together. I can bring my kids down and be amazed by the nightlife," Bolland says. "In a city that is well known for its summer, it's an event that lights up the night during winter."

Graphic video of King's ordeal was shown around the world in 1991. King sued the City of Los Angeles and won $3.8m (Â£2.5m) compensation. Cynthia Kelley, who helped decide the scale of the damages, met him afterwards and they shared a pizza.  Now, reports say, the couple have become engaged and hope to marry soon. Although they eventually started up a relationship, the pair later split up. According to Radar Online, it was only when King telephoned Ms Kelley on impulse four months ago that they were reunited. King described his fiancee as "a godsend" and told the magazine he could not wait to marry her. He was in his early twenties at the time of the beating and became an important figure in the subsequent trial of the four police officers. After they were acquitted, rioting broke out in which more than 50 people died. As the violence went into its third day, King went on television calling for the riots to stop. "Can't we all just get along?" he said.

Corey Collinson, 25, was sentenced to three years and nine months for possessing a stun gun and possessing cannabis with intent to supply. Police raided his home with a drugs dog in Tiverton, Devon on November 3, 2016. They found 204 grams of cannabis with an estimated street value of Â£1,350, and Â£2,375 cash kept on top of a wardrobe. More on the stun gun cannabis dealer, and other Devon news Collinson, of Park Street, Tiverton, claimed a friend had left the weapon at his house, but Devon and Cornwall police officers suspected he used it in his cannabis dealing. He was found with the weapon in a box kept on top of a wardrobe, alongside drugs, scales, and snap bags. The judge, Recorder Mr Martin Meeke, QC told him: "I have given this case anxious consideration. It was not a rifle, shotgun or pistol and could not discharge a bullet and to that extent it differs from what is normally seen as a firearm. "There is no suggestion you had it for any specific intent although there must be suspicions when a weapon is found in the hands of a drug dealer, which you undoubtedly were. "I take into account your personal circumstances and the fact you are hard working, have good references and I am conscious of the imminent birth of your child."

Scientists have begun tests on the use of spent grain from distilleries and also seaweed, crab shells and coffee grounds in absorbing Strontium-90. The radioactive isotope is present in liquid waste inside Dounreay's Shaft. Sunk in the 1950s close to the shores of the Pentland Firth, The Shaft plunges 65.4m (214.5ft) below ground. Radioactive waste was disposed there from 1959 to 1977, when an explosion ended the practice. It has been the subject of local legend, including the claim that one worker dropped his mother-in-law's ashes inside. Thurso's Environmental Research Institute, which is part of the University of the Highlands and Islands' North Highland College, has started the investigation into the potential of spent grain, seaweed, shells and coffee grounds. Known as biosorption, non-living biological materials are used as an alternative to artificially-made materials. Biosorption is already used to extract tiny pieces of gold and silver from sewage. Mike Gearhart, who leads the Dounreay Shaft and Silo project team, said: "We are pleased to be working with ERI to identify a sustainable solution that can be sourced locally. "We still have a number of issues to address but results to date have been very promising." The Silo - which has been described as being like a swimming pool with a concrete roof - was also used for dumping radioactive material from experiments at Dounreay.

Left-armer Amir, 22, was jailed for six months and banned from all cricket for his part in a spot-fixing scam during Pakistan's tour of England in 2010. He delivered pre-arranged no balls at Lord's in a plot that also saw Mohammad Asif and captain Salman Butt banned. Amir's ban was due to expire on 2 September, 2015 but he has been cleared to play domestic cricket in Pakistan. "It's a new life for me and you will see not only Mohammad Amir as a better cricketer but also a better human being," he said. The International Cricket Council (ICC), the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Sir Ronnie Flanagan, the head of the ICC's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (Acsu), approved Amir's domestic return. An ICC statement read: "Sir Ronnie Flanagan, with the prior approval of the ICC board and the Pakistan Cricket Board, has exercised his discretion to allow Mohammad Amir to return to domestic cricket played under the auspices of the Pakistan Cricket Board with immediate effect." It added that Flanagan "was satisfied" that Amir had: Before his suspension Amir took 51 wickets in 14 Test matches at an average of 29.09, and 25 wickets in 15 one-day internationals at an average of 24. In the aftermath of the spot-fixing scandal, Amir, who was 18 at the time of the incident, separated himself from his co-conspirators by admitting his guilt and showing remorse. Fellow paceman Asif and skipper Butt repeatedly fought charges before being found guilty at Southwark Crown Court. The latter pair were also jailed, with Asif banned from cricket for seven years (two suspended) and Butt 10 years (five suspended).

The Shenzhen Connect was supposed to be launched more than a year ago but was postponed due to market volatility. It is now expected to go live by the end of the year. The move comes as China looks to open up its $6.5 trillion (Â£5 trillion) equity markets to foreign investors. Beijing has also been pushing to have its bourses included in global index providers MSCI but their bid was last rejected in June. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang was quoted as saying the scheme "marks another steady step towards building a law-regulated capital market with international features". The overall quota limits for the link between Hong Kong and Shanghai's stock exchange, which was launched in late 2014, was also lifted. Daily quota limits, however, remain in place. The approval of the Shenzhen Stock Connect scheme may boost market sentiment, Julian Evans-Pritchard, China economist at Capital Economics said. "It is a welcome signal that policymakers are keen to press on with financial reform as concerns over market volatility and capital outflows fade," he wrote in a report. "But limited appetite overseas for mainland equities means the direct impact on equity valuations and capital flows will be small." Hong Kong is the world's second-busiest bourse and has benefited from the Stock Connect scheme as mainland investors look to buy overseas assets to counter the weakening Chinese yuan currency. Meanwhile, Shenzhen is Asia's busiest exchange with monthly turnover of more than $1 trillion, according to the World Federation of Exchanges data. But some investors believe the new link won't see huge demand due to the high valuations of mainland stocks. "In the short term, I very much doubt this will drive significant flows into Shenzhen shares as a lot of stocks are expensive," Caroline Yu Maurer, head of Greater China equities at BNP Paribas Investment Partners said. The quota usage for the Shanghai to Hong Kong Stock Connect was more than 80% when southbound while the northbound quota used was around 50%. Investors have been nervous about investing in Chinese stocks after the market crashed last summer and the government intervened by spending billions to prop it up. Mainland Chinese shares have fallen around 12% so far this year while Hong Kong is flat.

The University of Glasgow's £32m Imaging Centre of Excellence (ICE) aims to bring clinical academics together with industry to improve patient care. It is the first time a 7 Tesla MRI scanner will be used in the UK in a clinical setting. It will be used to improve treatment for conditions such as stroke, vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The facility was built in collaboration with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHS GGC), with £16m of funding from the Medical Research Council and Glasgow City Region City Deal. The project is expected to bring 396 new jobs to the city over a seven year period, contributing about £88m to the local economy. The 7 Tesla MRI scanner was delivered to the site last November. A giant crane eased the 18-tonne device down an alleyway with inches to spare on each side, then through a hole in the wall of the new building. The building will also house the Clinical Innovation Zone to help biomedical companies improve healthcare technology through collaborative work. There willl be a further floor of neuro-operating theatres, which will be funded by the NHS GGC. Prof Dame Anna Dominiczak, of the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences, said it would be a "world-leading" example of a precision medicine centre. "The ICE isn't about ivory tower research," she said. "It is about bringing world-leading clinical academics together with industry to collaborate and to create something that not only positively benefits patients but also brings a meaningful economic benefit as well." Glasgow City Council leader Frank McAveety said the facility was a great example of how the Glasgow City Region City Deal was helping to reinforce Glasgow's global reputation, while also delivering economic and social benefits. Principal of the university, Prof Anton Muscatelli, said: "ICE exemplifies the university's goal to create visionary buildings that promote interaction with industry and other key stakeholders, bringing inspiring people together in a world-class environment to share knowledge that can ultimately change the world."

The new contract for the 25-year-old represented "a landmark day" for Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria. The value of the deal makes it a record, although the £187m ($292m) 10-year contract signed by Detroit's Miguel Cabrera is worth more annually. Stanton has hit a total of 154 home runs in five Major League seasons. The American outfielder missed the final 17 games of last season after being struck in the face by a pitch but still hit 37 home runs in 2014, the most in the National League. "I'm happy for the city, I'm happy for him and I'm thrilled for baseball," added Loria, who said the deal includes a no-trade clause and allows Stanton to opt out after six years. "Besides being a terrific athlete, he's a first-class young man. I've loved watching him play, but I love this kid. He's just a special young man."

23-year-old Tim Reynard had been working at the local Liberal Democrat office for three weeks. He then told them he was actually working for the rival Tory Party. Staff immediately went into panic mode... until he was eventually found hiding in a cupboard. Not before they'd deleted his access to their database, Facebook and all other sensitive information. With just over a month until the General Election, there's a lot of sensitive information floating around any political office. So when Tim texted the Liberal Democrat organiser for the constituency of Oxford West and Abingdon, 27-year-old Will Griffiths, to say he had defected to the Conservative Party, Will panicked. Tim, who used to work for Odeon, said he'd jumped ship to "compare parties" and was due back at Tory candidate Nicola Blackwood's office. In a cold sweat, Will rang his boss, who told him he better get into work as soon as he could. By the time Will turned up 20 minutes later, everyone else in the office was in on the joke, so they all got busy checking nothing had been stolen and looking online to see if Tim had been forwarding Liberal Democrat emails to the Conservatives. Will was looking quite shaken when his boss pulled him aside for "a word" - that's when Tim jumped out and asked: "What day is it today Will?" Tim told Newsbeat he had the idea for the prank whilst having his breakfast in the morning, but he didn't think Will would believe it. When he did fall for it though, they all decided to string it out for as long as they could. Tim said Will's face was a picture when the truth hit him: "At first it was relief then it was a mix of anger and shock." He took it well though, and they both had a laugh. Encouraged by how well it went this year, Tim told us he's "got lots of tricks up his sleeve" for next year... so Will, you might want to put the date in your diary now.

So ahead of the general election, we asked them what they wanted from political coverage. They said it was discussion. They said it was definitely not shouting. They said something unedited and full of different opinions. So we invited representatives from each of the six main parties in Scotland - Scottish Labour, Scottish National Party Scottish, Scottish Liberal Democrats, Scottish Conservatives, Scottish Green Party and UKIP. They took it in turns to sit down with four members of the BBC's Generation 2015 for around twenty minutes. One was a party supporter, one was definitely not voting that way, and two were undecided over how to cast their ballot on May 7. The topics up for discussion? That was all down to our young voters. And unlike more conventional formats - it was also down to our young voters to pull up the politicians if they didn't like what they heard. The multi-screen view means with each answer you can watch back every smile, frown, nod of agreement - or otherwise. Above all, Opinionated is something a bit different.

John McLarnon has lived through two world wars, the creation of the Irish Free State and the administrations of 20 prime ministers. He has lived in the same house in the townland of Largy, near Portglenone, since he was born in 1914. "Our generation ran about in their bare feet, we went to school - everyone did, in their bare feet," he said. For John, the invention which made his life easier was the bicycle. "The bicycle was a great invention," he said. "We all learned to ride the bicycle when we were very young, but one bicycle had to do two or three of the family." John gave up driving when he turned 100. He said it was the sensible thing to do, as cars were "too fast now". John credits his longevity to a life of moderation; he doesn't smoke or drink but does have a sweet tooth - despite the fact all his teeth are his own. "I'm happy with everything I've done and being fit enough to do it," he said. "I'm very thankful for my good health which is the greatest gift of all." For a man who has seen many things and been around the block more than a few times, his advice on a long life is worth heeding. "Take care of your health, because if you lose your health it never comes back," he said. "Don't put off tomorrow what you can do today."

Alex McDougall, 77, originally from Scotland, died earlier this month at a care home in Nottinghamshire. Carers invited anyone with connections to the Army or Mr McDougall's football team Glasgow Rangers to attend. Broxtowe Borough Council said it had been "overwhelmed" by the public support but warned space was limited. Staff from the Beeston Fields Care Home appealed for mourners on social media over fears the funeral, which took place at Bramcote Crematorium, would only be attended by a limited number of staff. Deborah King, from the home, said: "It's so nice that people that have been in the military, veterans and those serving, are taking an interest and showing there are kind people out there. "He would probably be quite overwhelmed by it all." Andy Harrison, who is with the Royal Engineers, said it was important to honour a former soldier. He said: "There's countless others from the station [Chetwynd Barracks} who will be going down... we can't allow his passing to go unmarked." Sarah Teale, reporter, BBC East Midlands Today It was quite a moving sight. There was standard bearers from the Royal British Legion, many people in uniform and the Royal Artillery Corps, some from the Chetwynd Barracks and just members of the public. They didn't want a funeral where he would be all alone. They brought flowers, they brought wreaths and more importantly brought the numbers. The borough council said it was "overwhelmed by the public show of respect" but warned that parking space was limited and the small chapel could accommodate just 46 people. Mr McDougall moved to the county's Chetwynd Barracks, in Nottinghamshire, from Scotland when he joined the Army at the age of 21. He spent 18 years at the home and died from cancer.

General secretary candidate Len McCluskey met managers and shop stewards at the plant. It is five months since Ford announced cut backs on its planned investment in the new Dragon engine but it said 1,850 workers would not be affected. Mr McCluskey told BBC Wales he hoped it would not come to industrial action. But he said he wants assurances about its future and added that the union would do everything it could to save the plant. "There is a fair amount of pessimism about what the company plans," said Mr McCluskey. "Is there a hidden agenda to close the plant? "We want them to demonstrate that there isn't and that they're working hard for product replacement and we'll work hard with them." A mass meeting will be held on 1 March if the union does not hear from the company. Ford announced in 2015 that Bridgend would be making its new Dragon petrol engine, with the aim of producing 250,000 engines a year. The Welsh Government promised Â£15m state aid on the condition 500 jobs would be secured. And on Tuesday, Economy Secretary Ken Skates told the Senedd the Welsh Government would work with all stakeholders to ensure the factory had a future. The plant currently makes 250,000 engines a year for Jaguar Land Rover and also 500,000 of Ford's own Sigma engines but it is due to stop producing both in 2018. Last September, Ford announced Dragon production would be cut to 125,000 engines a year and investment would reduce from Â£181m to Â£100m. It said there had been "fluctuations" in global demand, predicting that required numbers of the new engine would be "lower than originally planned". However, Ford said the 1,850 workforce would not be affected. Bridgend has a capacity to produce three times what the original Dragon deal offered and concern by unions has intensified that it signals the start of a run down of the plant. Mr McCluskey said it starts to raise "serious doubts" about whether a plant of this size could be sustained producing such small volumes.

The move comes three years after Allison rejoined Ferrari as part of a restructuring plan to improve the team's performance. The first car designed under his control won three races in 2015, but Ferrari's revival has stalled this season, with no wins so far. Mattia Binotto has been promoted to chief technical officer. His previous role was as head of Formula 1 power-units. Allison, 48, was also at Ferrari as head of aerodynamics during the dominant Michael Schumacher era of 2000 to 2004, before moving back to the Renault team, where he was deputy technical director when Fernando Alonso won consecutive titles in 2005 and 2006. He is one of the most highly regarded engineering leaders in F1 and is likely to be of interest to a number of other teams. He said in a statement issued by Ferrari: "During the years I spent at Ferrari, at two different stages and covering different roles, I could get to know and appreciate the value of the team and of the people, women and men, which are part of it. "I want to thank them all for the great professional and human experience we shared. I wish everybody a happy future with lots of success." Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene said: "The team would like to thank James for his commitment and sacrifice during the time spent together, and wishes him success and serenity for his future endeavours." Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne has recently been conducting a review of the operational practices of the team, including consulting engineers on all levels, in an attempt to inject more creativity into the team. This has included a restructuring of the internal workings of departments across Ferrari. Allison's next destination is yet to be decided but his reputation is such that he would be of interest to most teams. McLaren were keen to sign him at the start of 2013, but he ultimately turned them down to go back to Ferrari. And the Enstone-based Renault team, where Allison has worked on three separate occasions, is undergoing a major rebuilding programme following the French company's buy-back of the operation from former owner Genii Capital, which ran it as Lotus from 2012-15.

Officers entered the site after previous attempts were thwarted when thousands of the monk's devotees turned up in his defence. The spiritual leader is believed to be inside the large compound. Police said they did not find him on Thursday but would return on Friday to continue looking. A Thai police spokesman said officers covered 15-20% of the complex. The search warrant was valid for 10 days, he said. The Dhammakaya temple is a sprawling compound on the outskirts of Bangkok. Its founder, Phra Dhammajayo, is accused of embezzling funds from the temple, but when officers attempted to search the site last June they were blocked by his supporters. The 72-year-old abbot has remained inside the temple for months, saying he is too ill to face officials. He denies the allegations and says they are politically motivated. Thousands of police and soldiers surrounded the site before dawn on Thursday, blocking the roads leading to and from the temple and putting the area under military control. "We are sealing off the temple and after that we will search all the buildings," said Col Paisit Wongmaung, head of the Department of Special Investigations (DSI). "If [the abbot] thinks he is innocent he should surrender and enter [a] judicial process," he said. A spokesman for the temple said he did not know if Phra Dhammajayo was inside. "I don't know his whereabouts - I haven't seen him in about nine months," AFP quoted spokesman Phra Sanitwong Wutthiwangso as saying. There have been several failed attempts to persuade the former abbot to leave the temple, which is home to a charismatic Buddhist sect. It has more than a million followers but has been criticised for commercialising Buddhism. There is also speculation that the temple has links to former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Both his government and one led by his sister were ousted by military coups in 2006 and 2014. The temple, however, says it has no political affiliation and says it attracts Thais from all walks of life and political persuasions. The military has been running Thailand since the coup in 2014.

Ayan Mohamud, 18, who arrived at Heathrow Airport, said she felt she was being "judged" in the wake of the Paris terror attacks. "I wasn't expecting to be interrogated or held in a room for hours," said Ms Mohamud, who left the US for the first time, to visit family in Leicester. Border Force said the checks were for immigration purposes. Keith Vaz, Leicester East MP, said he would be raising Ms Mohamud's case in his capacity as chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee. "I have the head of Border Force in front of my committee on Tuesday and will definitely ask about this," he said. Days before Miss Mohamud's arrival, Home Secretary Theresa May said security would be "intensified" at events in major cities and at UK borders in the wake of the Paris attacks. Miss Mohamud said she was warned by her father that she could be questioned at the UK border. "[But it] hit me that I was being judged based on what I was wearing on my head. I felt that I was detained because I'm Muslim," she explained. "After the Paris incident happened, [Border Force] feel that everyone wearing a scarf needs to be checked thoroughly. "I felt it was inhuman for them to treat me that way." Her aunt Jawaahir Daahir, who lives in Leicester, described her niece's ordeal as "a terrible, distressful unimaginable experience for her and for our family". "She didn't commit any crime except being a Muslim girl with a headscarf," she said. "People shouldn't be discriminated against, Muslim or non-Muslim, they should be all checked." A Home Office spokesman said: "To ensure the correct decisions are reached it is sometimes necessary for Border Force to detain passengers while checks are carried out to ensure they qualify for entry to the UK. "The passenger was given leave to enter the UK as soon as officers were able to make further inquiries, including in the United States."

However goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama declined the chance to appear to answer questions about comments he made about playing an international match in Kaduna. The NFF executive board will have the final say on any punishments, on a date yet to be decided. Keshi, who signed a new two-year deal with the NFF in April, was on a list of 59 applicants published recently by the Ivorian federation (FIF) to take over from Frenchman Herve Renard. Meanwhile, Super Eagles captain Enyeama made "uncomplimentary remarks" regarding safety and security in Kaduna for a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Chad. Enyeama, who plays for French club Lille and is the Super Eagles most capped player with 101 appearances, failed to reply to messages from the NFF seeking an explanation for his comments. The 32-year-old could face a lengthy ban for his comments which the NFF feels broke its recent code of conduct signed by the players as well as his failure to attend Tuesday's hearing.

They can do so by replying to tweets containing a link to an Amazon product with #amazoncart in the US and #amazonbasket in the UK. Users will still need to go to Amazon to pay and complete the purchase. The move comes as firms are looking at ways to use social media platforms as tools to attract customers. "Ultimately it is all about conversations that people are having on various platforms such as Twitter and Facebook about what interests them," said Sanjana Chappalli, Asia-Pac head of LEWIS Pulse, a firm specialising in digital marketing. "Brands are keen to tap into these platforms, not least because they have hundreds of millions of active users." The move also comes just days after Twitter reported a net loss of $132m (Â£78m) for the first quarter. The number of active users on the social network reached 255 million in the first three months of 2014, up 5.8% on the previous quarter. However, that growth was below analysts' expectations. There have been concerns that the pace of growth the Twitter has seen in the past years may be slowing, which may hurt its revenues. Ms Chappalli said the tie-up with Amazon was likely to help Twitter engage its users better and as result attract more advertisers. "For Twitter the revenue model is based on not just on the number of active users but also on how much time those users spend on the platform," she said. "This deal provides them a good chance to leverage on other sites such as Amazon to help push the engagement rates up." Meanwhile, Amazon said the partnership would make it easier for users to purchase products they saw on their Twitter timeline. "No more switching apps, typing passwords, or trying to remember items you saw on Twitter," the firm said in a video it posted about the tie-up.

The tomb in the North Transept contains coffins belonging to the Hyett family dating from the 17th and 18th Century. It was found by archaeologists who lifted a neighbouring ledger stone while carrying out an evaluation ahead of the installation of a new lift. The process caused a small hole to be created which allowed the contents of the vault to be seen. Cathedral archaeologist Richard Morriss said the discovery of the 8ft (2.5m) deep chamber was unexpected. "What you normally find when you dig up a ledger slab is earth and bones, there's nothing specific in there. "But we can just see into a genuine intact family vault. "You would expect the cathedral to have been restored time and time again. The floors get churned up and re-laid, but this has stayed intact. "The coffins are extremely well preserved, you can still see the name plates. "And the name plates actually match up with the names on the ledgers above, which is remarkable." Mr Morriss said the family must have been "pretty wealthy" to have afforded this kind of burial vault within the heart of the cathedral. The Reverend Canon Celia Thomson, said the discovery of the vault was "really exciting" and the discovery of a child's coffin was "particularly poignant". "You can just imagine the grief of the parents at that stage. It brings history to life," she said. Lord Dickinson, who is a descendent, by marriage, of the Hyett family, said the discovery was "fascinating". "Like the rest of the world I didn't know there was anything under the slab," he said. Re-deposited human remains were discovered beneath the ledger stone, including a number of skulls and leg bones. The installation of a new lift in the North Transept is part of a 10-year plan, known as Project Pilgrim, to improve facilities at the medieval building. The discovery of the vault will be featured on Inside Out West on BBC One on Monday 2 November at 19:30 GMT and afterwards for 30 days on the BBC iPlayer.

Daniel Zamudio, 24, has been in a medically induced coma since Saturday's attack by unidentified assailants. He had swastika-like shapes drawn on his chest, fuelling speculation that neo-Nazis were involved. Interior Minister Rodrigo Hinzpeter said efforts would be stepped up to pass an anti-discrimination law. "We're going to give added urgency to the anti-discrimination law," said Mr Hinzpeter, referring to legislation currently being considered by the Chilean congress. Chile should also consider passing a hate-crime law, he said. Mr Zamudio was left with severe head injuries and a broken right leg after being attacked in Santiago. He is on a ventilator and in an induced coma, but doctors say he is out of immediate danger. Mr Zamudio's parents said it was not the first time he had been targeted because of his sexual orientation, and that his attackers were neo-Nazis. A group representing gay rights in Chile, Movilh, has launched a publicity campaign to appeal for witnesses. "It wasn't a one-off event, violence by neo-Nazi groups keeps happening," Rolando Jimenez from Movilh told BBC Mundo. Prosecutors say they do not have firm evidence of neo-Nazi involvement but it is a possibility given the victim's profile, previous incidents, and the suspected swastika marks.

The Namibian is being investigated by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) over payments he received from Papa Massata Diack, the son of ex-IAAF president Lamine Diack. In March, French newspaper Le Monde claimed former sprinter Fredericks received a payment days before voting on the 2016 Olympics host city. The four-time Olympic silver medallist says the payment was legitimate and related to his role in the promoting of several athletics events. He told told Le Monde the payment had "nothing whatsoever to do with the Olympic games". Fredericks stepped down from two key administrative roles in March following the accusations. He quit as head of the evaluation commission for the 2024 Olympics, and left a taskforce helping Russia return to international competition. As head of the IOC evaluation commission, Fredericks was to lead an inspection visit to 2024 candidate cities Los Angeles and Paris. In his written judgement, the chairman of the IAAF Disciplinary Tribunal, Michael J Beloff, said Fredericks' suspension was not a presumption of guilt.

Tuesday's 3-2 victory at Plymouth Argyle ended an eight-game winless run and means the O's are only in the drop zone on goal difference. "I've got to keep the boys grounded but I've let them be happy because they deserve it," he told BBC Radio London. "I won't get carried away if we win as we're still second from bottom." Webb, 33, is the youngest manager in the English Football League and became Orient's fourth boss of the season on 29 January. The former Southend and Hull striker has been forced to rely on young players, with 10 of the squad at Home Park being products of the east London club's academy. After ending a six-game losing streak in his third game in charge against Yeovil on Saturday, late goals from Gavin Massey and Sandro Semedo gave Orient their first victory since beating Crawley on Boxing Day. "I'm new to management but I have confidence in my own ability and I know how to set up a team," Webb added. "I know what the young players can bring; heart, passion and all the things the supporters want to see. "It's been a long time since we've been happy after a game but we have a long way to go. There is no point in everyone saying we are playing well and have team spirit if it is only for four games." However, the win at Plymouth has been marred by Argyle reporting O's skipper Liam Kelly to the Football Association for an alleged shove on a ball boy. Meanwhile, defender Nicky Hunt picked up his 10th caution of the season and will miss Saturday's visit of fellow strugglers Notts County, who are managed by former O's player-manager Kevin Nolan.

Nicola Farningham claimed she was a single mother but was living with her husband Paul at their Dundee home. A court was told the mother-of-four had been forced to sell her house to start paying back the money. Farningham, 39 admitted a charge under the Tax Credits Act committed between 15 May 2005 and 14 July 2014. Dundee Sheriff Court heard previously that she was employed as a tax credits advisor in HMRC's Dundee call centre, advising the public about child and working tax credits. Depute fiscal Eilidh Robertson told the court that an HMRC investigation was launched in 2014 following a tip-off. She said: "The investigation into the accused established that she had married Paul Farningham on 7 September 2007 and that they had four children together. "The accused and Mr Farningham had shared a joint bank account since 2004 and a joint mortgage for their property which they bought together in 2005. "When she was interviewed the accused said they had not been co-habiting at any stage despite buying a property and having four children." The court was told that a compensation order of £40,410 to be paid within six months had been agreed. Kevin Hampton, defending, said: "Subject to the house being sold she will pay more towards the outstanding debt. "She understands she is in a very difficult position today, given length of time and the amount involved. "This was not to fund an extravagant lifestyle or excessive spending. "This money all went towards bills, primarily child care." "This has had and will have a devastating effect on her." Sheriff Alastair Carmichael jailed Farningham for 21 weeks and told her: "It's a sad and familiar tale. "Ultimately though, it's a fraud on public finances."

Age Scotland says official figures suggest that each year about 8,640 people in Scotland wait longer than six weeks for a council care assessment. The average "worst case" is between two weeks and five months, with the longest delay of 18 months recorded in 2014/15. Cosla, the umbrella body for local councils, declined to comment. Age Scotland's research, compiled using freedom of information requests, found significant variations across councils in the time taken to carry out assessments. Under national guidelines, people should wait no longer than six weeks for care services to be provided after an assessment has taken place. Age Scotland found that about 10% of people were not provided with services within the six-week limit over the past three years. The charity said its research suggested that about 3,000 elderly people each year wait longer than six weeks for services to be put in place. Most councils do not record the reasons why delays occur, but many cited instances where delays were caused by the person being admitted to hospital or waiting for a place in their chosen care home. Staff shortages, financial constraints and delays in adapting homes were also cited. Age Scotland received freedom of information responses from 25 out of 32 councils. Chief executive Keith Robson said: "These are deeply concerning figures showing thousands of older people facing delays in the care provision they need being put in place. "It also means payments for free personal care they are entitled to are not being received. "This confirms the experiences of a number of older people and their families who have been in touch with Age Scotland's helpline to tell us their experiences of delays in the system. "As we look to local authority elections next month, Age Scotland has contacted council candidates across Scotland to ask them to ensure providing high-quality health and social care services is made an urgent priority by new administrations."

It has been reported by the Daily Mail that Jamal al-Harith received the payout from the UK government after being freed from captivity in 2004. The family say that figure was "a group settlement including costs for four innocent people including Jamal". The Daily Mail says it stands by its story. Al-Harith, who was 50 and from Manchester, was originally known as Ronald Fiddler. He took the name Jamal al-Harith when he converted to Islam, but was known most recently by the nom-de-guerre Abu-Zakariya al-Britani, given to him by so-called Islamic State. Who are Britain’s jihadists? Al-Harith was seized by American forces in Pakistan in 2001, before being sent to Guantanamo Bay - a US prison in Cuba for terrorist suspects. US interrogators found he provided useful information about the Taliban's methods, and he was released after two years. He later joined IS and blew himself up at an Iraqi army base in Mosul this week. Analysis, by Frank Gardner, BBC security correspondent In the light of how he chose to end his life, the case of Jamal al-Harith is certainly embarrassing for those in government in 2004 and 2010, and for those whose job it was to assess the security threat he posed between 2004 and 2014. But his lawyer has told me that when al-Harith returned from his two years' imprisonment in Guantanamo Bay in March 2004, he had already been so extensively questioned that his interview with British special branch officers lasted just 20 minutes before charges were dropped and he was released. He was assessed - correctly at the time - of being a low security risk to the British population and he spent the next 10 years living openly in and around Manchester with his young family, showing no signs of violent extremism. At some stage, probably around 2013, he became sufficiently radicalised, or even re-radicalised, to go off to Syria to join IS. It was this that MI5 failed to pick up. In a statement, al-Harith's family said they wished "to express their sorrow and distress at the news of his death", but were "concerned about the distorted and over-simplified reports they have seen in the news". "The Jamal they knew up until 2001 when he was taken to Guantanamo Bay would not have become involved with a despicable organisation such as so-called Islamic State. He was a peaceful and gentle person," it continued. "Whatever he may or may not have done since then they believe from their own experience he was utterly changed by the physical and mental cruelty and the inhuman treatment he endured for two years at Guantanamo." His relatives insisted he did not receive £1m in compensation, adding: "The family last heard from him in 2014 and have since then been desperately worried about his fate." Leon Jameson, al-Harith's older brother, says they last spoke two years ago on the phone, before he went to Syria. Mr Jameson described his sibling as "fun" when he was growing up and "always helping other people". When asked about his brother's suicide bombing he said: "I can't actually commend him about it because it isn't right, but he's done it. It's something he believes in, so I'll leave that with him. "He did what he could for other people, which is what he used to always be like. And he said "it had been a struggle" for his brother ever since Guantanamo Bay. "If he didn't even listen to his wife, none of us could have really changed his mind." Former Prime Minister Tony Blair released a statement accusing the Daily Mail of "utter hypocrisy" after it ran a story about al-Harith on Wednesday headlined: "Still Think He Wasn't A Danger, Mr Blair? Fury at Labour government's £1m compensation for innocent Brit". Mr Blair said the man's release in 2004 had "followed a Parliamentary and massive media campaign led by the Daily Mail... and strongly supported by the then Conservative Opposition". The former PM continued: "He was not paid compensation by my government. The compensation was agreed in 2010 by the [coalition] government..." In response, the paper issued a statement saying Mr Blair was "utterly wrong to accuse the Daily Mail newspaper of inaccuracy over the Ronald Fiddler story". "However, our sister organisation MailOnline, which is an independently edited website, did publish a misleading headline which said that Mr Blair's government was responsible for the £1m payout to Fiddler. "This ran briefly and has since been removed and corrected. MailOnline apologises for this mistake." It added: "The fact remains that the actions which led to this payment were all the responsibility of Tony Blair."

The Briton, 29, needed a tournament-record three hours and 20 minutes to see off Nishikori on Wednesday. He returns to London's O2 Arena 48 hours later knowing he must take a set off Wawrinka to ensure a semi-final place. Murray will play the Swiss third seed at 14:00 GMT on Friday. Nishikori takes on Marin Cilic in the evening session at 20:00, with the Japanese player also able to claim one of the two semi-final places from the John McEnroe Group. Murray needs to qualify for the last four to maintain his hopes of ending 2016 as the world number one, ahead of Novak Djokovic. The only way Murray can be eliminated after winning his opening two matches is with a straight-set defeat by Wawrinka, followed by a Nishikori win over Cilic. To win the group and avoid playing Djokovic in the semi-finals, Murray must either win, or lose in three sets and hope Nishikori beats Cilic in three sets. "Obviously it's important to win matches to give yourself the best chance to go through, and 200 points for each match here is quite a lot as well," said Murray. Asked if he was optimistic he could recover from Wednesday's lengthy match sufficiently to challenge Wawrinka, the Scot told BBC Sport: "I haven't thought about that. "I'm just getting up each day and trying to give the best of what I have on that day. "I'll just try to use a good rest day to recover. Hopefully I won't be too stiff and sore come Friday, but it's not ideal to play matches of that length at this stage of the season." Media playback is not supported on this device Wawrinka played poorly in a swift defeat by Nishikori on Monday but improved dramatically to beat Cilic and resurrect his hopes on Wednesday. The Swiss, 31, lost to Murray in their only meeting this year at the French Open but won last year's group-stage contest at the O2 Arena. And the US Open champion has no qualms about potentially knocking out the home favourite. "I don't care at all," said Wawrinka. "All I know is if I want to have a chance to qualify, I need to win. That's all I know. That's all I'm trying to do. "I'm going to try to play my best tennis, to beat the world number one." John McEnroe Group qualification scenarios

Media playback is not supported on this device Having led his country to a first major tournament for 58 years, he has reason to be cheerful. Yet this picture of calm belies the turbulent journey which he has taken to this point, a path punctuated by setbacks which will make this impending crowning moment even sweeter. A centre-back who won 32 caps for Wales, Coleman's playing career was cut short by injury at the age of 32. The anguish of premature retirement was eased by an early start to life as a manager, becoming the youngest man to lead a Premier League team when he took charge of Fulham in 2003, still just 32. His tenure was largely successful, his animated touchline demeanour mirroring the combative defending which endeared him to supporters during his playing days at Craven Cottage. However, results deteriorated in his fourth full season and he was sacked. Coleman then embarked on short spells at Spanish side Real Sociedad, back in England with Coventry and then at Larissa in Greece with mixed results. After leaving Larissa, Coleman wanted to rebuild his reputation, and he would not have to wait long for his opportunity - though it arrived in tragic circumstances. The death of then Wales manager Gary Speed in November 2011 cast a shadow over an entire sport. A former captain of his country and a charismatic man who had revitalised Wales following his appointment in 2010, Speed's passing left a terrible void. It is why Coleman, on the day he was unveiled as Speed's successor in January 2012, could not hide the fact he did not want to be there. "In an ideal world I wouldn't be sitting here because this press conference would not be taking place," he said at the time. "Wales would be doing very well and one of my best friends would be with us, but that's not the case. "I'm here for a lot of right reasons and I'm here for a lot of wrong reasons, and that doesn't really sit right with me. "But of course I'm extremely proud to be leading my country. It's my proudest moment." Coleman's first appearance as Wales manager was a poignant occasion as he spoke with moving candour and eloquence. Sensitive to the delicate nature of the situation, Coleman was careful not to speak about continuing his friend's legacy, knowing he would have to forge his own path in the role. After overseeing a match against Costa Rica in tribute to Speed, Coleman lost his first four matches at the helm in earnest - the worst start by any Wales manager. The fourth defeat, a 6-1 mauling in Serbia in September 2012, was the nadir - even by the modest standards set by previous Wales sides. Just seven months into the job, Coleman was already under severe pressure, but a reprieve came in the form of a hard-fought win against Scotland. Wales trailed 1-0 in torrential Cardiff rain until two late goals from Gareth Bale - the second a spectacular long-range strike - secured victory in dramatic fashion and gave Welsh morale the lift it desperately needed. Their efforts to reach the 2014 World Cup were to end in disappointment but, finishing with a commendable draw in Belgium, there was a glimmer of hope for Coleman. The start of Euro 2016 qualifying brought renewed optimism with a relatively kind draw and a promising group of players featuring the likes of Bale, Aaron Ramsey and Ashley Williams. Yet just 45 minutes into the campaign, the scene was bleak. At half-time in their opening game away against the tiny Catalan principality of Andorra, Wales were drawing 1-1 against a side whose last competitive win came in 2004. As Coleman trudged across the pitch and headed towards the changing rooms of the 3,000-capacity Estadio Nacional, he was booed by Wales' furious fans. They had recently seen their side fail to qualify for the World Cup and the feeble 45 minutes they had just witnessed suggested Wales were about to squander another chance to secure their place at a major tournament. Embarrassment in Andorra might have cost Coleman his job but Bale proved a familiar saviour as his late free-kick snatched victory and set his country on course for what would prove to be an historic campaign.

Jack Ewins, 26, originally from Suffolk, and Timothy Glover, 30, from Australia, grabbed Universal Studios' attention for a fan site about rumoured Jurassic World character "Patel". They were amazed to be flown to Los Angeles and asked to make a site for Simon Masrani, the character's actual name. "It felt unbelievable," said Mr Ewins. "I was working at the Empire Cinema at Leicester Square [in London] and felt my phone vibrate, and I had an email from Universal. "I was thinking, 'Am I going to get sued?', but there was an introduction and I was asked to call them. "I had only been talking to my manager about when Jurassic World was going to screened - and then my prayers were answered." Originally from Beccles, Mr Ewins headed to London in his early 20s to pursue a writing career. Also a keen illustrator, his drawings were spotted online by website builder Mr Glover, from Perth, who suggested they worked together on a site for "Patel", details of whom were leaked on the web before Jurassic World's release. Universal loved their site so much, it asked the pair to make a page for Simon Masrani, the actual name of the character who runs the dinosaur attraction. They also attended the film's world premiere this month in the US and met its cast and crew at the after-party. "Big studios don't tend to call people straight off the street. It was a dream come true," said Mr Ewins. Doug Neil, Universal's digital marketing head, said: "Having fans like Jack and Timothy get involved helped to make sure that what we created maintained an authentic voice and respect for the fans."

Greater Anglia services were stopped between Shenfield and Witham in Essex from Thursday night to 09:23 GMT. Passengers vented their frustration on Twitter, with many asking why no replacement bus service was in place. Colchester MP Will Quince was among them, asking why there had been no contingency plans for travellers. Live: Follow updates on this story "They knew at 10pm last night about Network Rail urgent repairs," he tweeted. "Greater Anglia has serious questions to answer." The line reopened at 09:23 GMT following repairs by Network Rail, but passengers were warned to expect further delays. At 06:15 GMT, Greater Anglia asked passengers not to travel between Witham and Shenfield, saying disruption was expected until 14:00. Hundreds of commuters vented their anger on Twitter, with many asking about the lack of rail replacement buses. Gavin Searley tweeted: "Recommend people not to travel when paying Â£5k for the service? #Shenfield No business continuity plan? #disgrace", while Jordan Newell said people were being left "stranded".

The Scot's grouping had already been delayed by rain. "I was just sitting there with my wife having a yoghurt and then I looked at Twitter and I thought 'I'm meant to tee off in five minutes'," he said. "Nobody came and told us. So I got kind of lucky that they made another 10 minute delay before we could go." Knox recorded a second consecutive even par round of 70 at Baltusrol to ensure he would make the cut of two over par. But he was left frustrated by a round that left him nine strokes behind joint leaders Robert Streb and Jimmy Walker of the United States. "We got very lucky with the fact that we were on the first tee and they had a little delay and then, when we went back, it had stopped raining," he told BBC Sport. "I've played better than I've scored. I made a couple of soft bogies today - middle of the fairway, eight-iron - and you just can't do that. Not when there's enough tricky holes." Knox needs to win or finish runner-up to force his way into the nine automatic places in the European team for the forthcoming Ryder Cup. Anything less and the world number 26 would be left relying on captain Darren Clarke choosing him among his wildcards. "I feel that I've played well, but I just haven't got the putter going and haven't been able to create any momentum," added Knox. "All my birdies have just been really good shots, which is good, but in order for me to get something going, I have to hole some putts and I just haven't been able to do that yet. "For whatever reason, I have just not felt all that comfortable, so hopefully the weekend will be different. "I know how to putt. I've just got to let it happen."

Heidi Loughlin, 32, discovered she had a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer after falling pregnant with her third child. The discovery was made in September after she noticed a rash on her breast while feeding her baby son Tait. Doctors gave her the option of terminating the pregnancy so she could begin aggressive chemotherapy. But she decided to keep her baby and begin a less aggressive form of treatment so Tait and her other son Noah, aged two, would not lose their mother. After her initial treatment failed, doctors recommended she undertook intensive chemotherapy which could save her but put her unborn baby's health at risk. Ms Loughlin, a Metropolitan Police officer from Portishead, north Somerset, decided her only chance of survival was to give birth at 12 weeks early. Writing on her blog, the mother-of-three said she was "absolutely thrilled" to announce the baby, a little girl, had been born safely. "Keith and I are absolutely thrilled to announce the safe arrival of our daughter formally known as chocolate mousse," she wrote. "She was born today via c section at 1237. She came out foot first and is breathing on her own. She weighs 2lb 5ozs. She has a Laughlin (sic) nose and she has more hair than me!!!

Craig Mackinlay, the MP for South Thanet, is being investigated over alleged overspending in the 2015 general election campaign. Mr Mackinlay defeated the then UKIP leader Nigel Farage in the ballot. Karl McCartney, whose bid to retain his Lincoln seat is also being probed, says a draft report into the controversy has been withheld by Tory central office. Seventeen police forces across the country are looking into whether some MPs' agents should have filed costs associated with battle bus visits to their constituencies in their local expenses. The Tories said they had been campaigning "across the country for the return of a Conservative government" and, as a result, associated costs were regarded as national not local expenditure. Mr McCartney has accused Conservative Central Office (CCHQ) of keeping back from MPs a draft report from the Electoral Commission on the investigation. In an email leaked to Sky News, he wrote to the party chairman, Patrick McLoughlin saying MPs felt "completely cast adrift" and "left to fend for themselves". The message continued: "We didn't create this mess, the clever dicks at CCHQ did, and I don't see their professional reputations being trashed in the media much." In a statement Mr McCartney said: "The Conservative Party advised us that the so-called campaign 'battle buses' were, as at previous general elections and in keeping with the practice of both the Labour Party and Liberal Democrats, a national campaign expense. "This meant that they were not to be declared in our own election expenses." The office of Craig Mackinlay, who was questioned on Saturday, said it would not be commenting. The Tories have blamed an "administrative error" for not declaring Â£38,000 of expenses for their Battlebus tour. It follows a Channel 4 investigation into spending in key constituencies. In June, Kent Police were given a further 12 months to investigate the claims of improper spending. Granting the extension, District Judge Justin Barron described the allegations as "far-reaching". The inquiry, he said, could lead to election results "being declared void."

A number of brokerage employees, current and former members of the regulatory commission, and a financial journalist are also being investigated for misconduct. China's volatile stock market dropped sharply on Monday, in its biggest single-day fall since 2007. It has caused a knock-on effect on other markets globally as worry spread. Police are investigating: However, Citic said in a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange on Wednesday that it had not been informed of an investigation. The other brokerages had announced their investigations in statements late on Tuesday. On Wednesday China's benchmark Shanghai Composite fell 1.27% to 2,927.29, despite a fresh rate cut a day earlier by the central bank. The index had fallen about 16% this week, leading to sharp falls in Asia and the US over the past few days. On Tuesday, China's central bank cut its key lending rate by 0.25 percentage points to 4.6% in a bid to calm stock markets. Given China's central role in world trade, a slowdown in the world's second-largest economy would be likely to reverberate around the globe.

26-year-old Kun Liu was killed while performing on an inflatable boat on the Ognyanovo dam in Bulgaria. He died from wounds he suffered from an on-set explosion nearby. His parents have filed a case of wrongful death against Millennium Films and the movie's stunt coordinator. The Expendables 2 features an all-star action hero cast, including Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis. Kun Liu's parents, Zong Yu Liu and Yan Mei Bai, claim the filmmakers and Stahelski "negligently and carelessly failed to provide adequate protection from harm to the participants of the stunts". They are suing for funeral and burial expenses as well as "the loss of society, love, comfort, attention, services and support" of their son. Elizabeth Wolfe, a spokeswoman for Millennium Films, and stunt co-ordinator, Chad Stahelski declined to comment on the case. At the time of Lui's death in October 2011, Bulgarian authorities reported another stuntman was seriously injured during the explosion. Millennium films denied reports in the Bulgarian press that the doubles for stars Sly Stallone and Jet Li had been involved in the accident. Stallone, who directed the first Expendables film and is producing the sequel, was not present at the time of the accident as he was filming scenes in another location. The Expendables 2 is due for release in the UK on 16 August, 2012.

The author criticised the Loiseau des Ducs in July 2013, saying it was "very overrated, all for show and with very little on the plate. The most plentiful plate was the one carrying the bill". But the comment was published before the restaurant opened to the public. The court ruled that it could not have been based on a real experience. It said the review aimed to deter future customers, and ordered the author to pay €2,500 in damages and €5,000 towards the cost of the investigation. The reviewer, who was not named in French media reports, posted the comment on France's Pages Jaunes website under the pseudonym The Clarifier five days before the restaurant, run by the Bernard Loiseau group, opened. Group director Ahlame Buisard said the company was not against real customers expressing positive or negative opinions, but that the case against the fake review was a point of principle. Bernard Loiseau, one of France's most celebrated chefs, committed suicide in 2003 after his flagship restaurant was downgraded in a top restaurant guide.

A judge overturned Clarence Moses-EL's rape and assault conviction, saying he would likely be found innocent if the case went to trial again. He was first charged in 1988, despite the fact that the victim named someone else when originally asked who assaulted her. She then identified him and said Mr Moses-EL's face came to her in a dream. "This is the moment of my life, right here," Mr Moses-EL told reporters as he left the jail in Denver, Colorado. "I'm at a loss for words. I just want to get home to my family." Now 60 years old, he hugged three of his 12 grandchildren for the first time outside of the jail. "I'm just glad to be home," he said. "That surpasses a whole lot of things right now." He said he was looking forward to going home and having pizza "with chopped shrimp and steak, smothered in cheese" and sitting in a comfortable chair. He has been arguing his innocence for a long time - his case even brought about legislation requiring authorities to preserve DNA evidence, after police threw out swabs and clothing in his case. Mr Moses-EL said his spirituality and innocence kept him going in prison. Prosecutors are still deciding whether to try him again. At the beginning of the case, the assault victim first named a man who said he had sex with her, then she said Mr Moses-EL's face came to her in a dream. He won a legal bid for DNA testing of the evidence, but Denver police threw it away, and in 2008 the Colorado governor fought legislation that would have given him a new trial. In 2013, the man who confessed to having sex with the victim wrote to Mr Moses-EL in jail. That was the key break in his case.

Hamilton is 12 points behind the German and has to win the race and hope his Mercedes team-mate finishes lower than third if he is to win the championship. Hamilton was 0.374 seconds quicker than Rosberg, with the Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo next. Second practice gets under way at 13:00 GMT, with coverage starting on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra at 12:55. Media playback is not supported on this device Reigning world champion Hamilton, 31, will be hoping Red Bull or Ferrari can get between him and Rosberg - that is realistically his best chance of an unlikely fourth title. However, the Mercedes car has such superiority that Hamilton's best hope is for a problem to hit Rosberg. "My sole goal is to win the race," Hamilton said on Thursday. "Nico's been really quick here the last couple of years so it will be a challenge for sure but one I'm certain that I can face head on and do well. "In terms of the championship, if it doesn't go the way I'd hope, well, the championship generally hasn't gone the way I'd hoped up until now. "So 2016 has generally not been a spectacular year, but there's been lots of positives to take out from it and either way I will take all the positives into next season." Rosberg, 31, can afford to cruise around behind Hamilton driving a cautious weekend but says he is targeting a race win as the best way to clinch the title. "The most important thing is to do an awesome performance, because that's going to give both, isn't it?" he said. "I'm doing whatever it takes to give the best possible performance and that's the same thing that I've done for all the other races." He added that he is "not thinking about what if because that wouldn't be the right approach for me". Hamilton's best time was set on the soft tyre while Rosberg's was on the theoretically quicker ultra-soft. The pair were separated by 0.192secs on the ultra-soft tyre, but unlike Rosberg, Hamilton improved when he ran the soft. The Red Bulls were very close to Rosberg - Verstappen was only 0.054secs behind the German and Ricciardo a further 0.065secs adrift. Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen were fifth and seventh fastest, separated by Force India's Sergio Perez on the super-soft tyre. Former world champion Jenson Button, who announced on Thursday that this will be his last race barring a change of heart and unlikely opportunity in the future, was only 20th as McLaren's weekend got off to a difficult start. Button was asked to return to the pits midway through the session with a technical problem. His team-mate Fernando Alonso was 18th fastest, 0.748secs quicker than Button. Jolyon Palmer was 16th for Renault, one place and 0.153secs ahead of team-mate Kevin Magnussen. Abu Dhabi Grand Prix first practice results Abu Dhabi Grand Prix coverage details

Sunil ÂTripathi, 22, was identified by a forensic dental exam, but his cause of death has not been determined. Members of a university rowing team found the body on Tuesday evening, a month after Tripathi went missing.

The Scottish champions opted to reject their ticket allocation for the match at Belfast's Windsor Park for fear of trouble among rival fans. The match was moved from 11/12 July to avoid a clash with Orange celebrations. "It will be fine, it won't be a problem for us. It will be enjoyable, that's for sure," Brown told CelticTV. The Scotland midfielder added that he felt confident the Celtic support would make up for missing the Belfast leg of the second round qualifier when the teams meet in the return leg in Glasgow next Wednesday.

"Everyone is in a better condition this year than what we were last year," said Brown, who is confident an Achilles problem suffered in Saturday's 9-0 win over Shamrock Rovers will not stop him facing the Northern Irish champions. "We're looking a lot sharper, we scored nine goals as well in our last game so it shows we're finding our feet and we're finding it quickly. "It's going to be physical, it's going to be a battle. They will want to make it a battle because of the way we play football and they're going to try and stop us and close us down early doors. "But, when you look at our squad, we've got some great players that can deal with the pressure and have dealt with that kind of pressure in the past.

But if the health service is to thrive in the 21st Century that will have to change. There will need to be a third pillar - the community service (or integrated care as it is known in the NHS). The term covers services aimed at people with long-term conditions. They are the patients who need care as there is no cure. Oldham's Musculoskeletal Partnership provides an integrated service for rheumatology and orthopaedic patients. It involves GPs, hospital consultants, physiotherapists, podiatrists and occupational therapy. The team sees about 10,000 patients a year with conditions such as inflammatory arthritis. It has proved so successful that rheumatology services have now been decommissioned from the local hospital, while all outpatient orthopaedics work from physiotherapy to pain management is done at the clinic. It includes diabetes patients who need their treatment regimes closely monitored and regular foot and eye checks. It also covers support and rehabilitation for the frail and vulnerable when they are released from hospital and help for people with dementia to stay independent. But the problem with the current system is that they often do not get the help they need or do not get it early enough. The result? They eventually end up in hospital more ill than they would have been. This is bad for the individual and bad for the health service - as hospital care is more expensive. Jennifer Dixon, chief executive of the Nuffield Trust think-tank, says this is the crux of the issue. "We have talked about integrated care for so long, but I think this time it will be different. "It has to be because of the money situation. We have no choice." A quick look at the statistics proves this. An estimated 15 million people in England have a long-term condition - a quarter of the population. But they account for Â£7 out of every Â£10 spent on the health and care. In Grimsby most adult health and social care outside hospital is provided by Care Plus Group, a not-for-profit organisation paid for by the NHS and local authority. It provides nearly 50 services, covering everything from  community nursing to meals on wheels and drugs and alcohol support. All can be accessed via a single phone number. An example of this is the Hope Specialist Service, a community centre staffed by volunteers with support from health workers, including physios, occupational therapists and specialist nurses. It offers help for people after falls and those with lung disease so they can recover their confidence, independence and find friends. It has proved successful at keeping people out of hospital With the number of patients expected to rise in the coming years, particularly the group with multiple conditions, that is clearly unsustainable. With the right treatment, many of these patients do not need to be in hospital. But the fact remains that nearly three quarters of beds are occupied by someone with a long-term condition. The NHS Confederation recently looked at this issue, concluding there needed to be a radical rethink. Jo Webber, director of policy at the confederation, explains: "For too long, the default setting when we think about healthcare or support is to think of a hospital. "But in reality, acute hospitals - whether major teaching sites or local district generals - are rarely the best place for someone who needs ongoing health or treatment." Mike Dixon, of the NHS Alliance, which has championed the changes, agrees, arguing that by giving power to GPs the shake-up will help change the mindset of the NHS. "We cannot carry on as we are. We are the most prolific users of hospitals in the Western world. It is now time to base services in the community, to pool budgets and design services around the patient. "Hospitals admissions should be seen as a failure from now on."

Lancashire Police apologised to the man after the October 2012 incident. The man's solicitor said the settlement was undisclosed. The victim's identity is protected by a court order. The man brought a claim for false imprisonment, assault and battery and breach of the Human Rights Act 1998 against Lancashire Constabulary. He has described being Tasered as feeling like "grabbing an electricity pylon". The man said he had post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and had been left "very nervous". An investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission said the police officer who shot him had "used a level of force that was unnecessary and disproportionate". Following a disciplinary hearing in 2014, the officer was told to apologise to the man in person and was given a "performance-improvement notice".
