The same can hardly be said for the surrounding area. It has the usual transport terminal trappings: rundown hotels, greasy fast-food joints and taxis whose meters may or may not correctly reflect the tariff. Behind the station there is a railway yard with graffiti-daubed, rotting rolling stock obstructing access to the Sava riverfront, just a matter of metres away. But all this is set to change. A massive hoarding on the front of the station depicts a future which seems to have beamed in from a parallel universe - or, at the very least, a different country. It features a gleaming tower surrounded by shops and parks on the banks of the river. And underneath, the logo and contact details for the Belgrade Waterfront development. "Belgrade Waterfront is a project for which the city has waited for more than 50 years," says Milutin Folic, the head of Belgrade's city planning department. "After the Second World War, we had plans to relocate the train and bus stations and free the important and central area of brownfield for the city to expand towards the rivers. With Belgrade Waterfront, a city which sits on two rivers will finally reach the water. "It will bring urban ideas to daylight, put the construction industry back on its feet - and we hope other parts of the economy will see the benefits." The entire project is worth more than â‚¬3bn (Â£2.3bn; $3.4bn) - and could take 30 years to complete. By its end, Belgrade should have a new opera house, shopping centre and luxury hotels and apartments. There should also be much-improved access to the riverfront, currently a glaringly underused resource. But support for Belgrade Waterfront is far from universal. Initially, reservations focused on the recent revival of the riverfront Savamala district, which overlaps the area under development. It has become a cultural hub, with galleries, arts centres and nightlife attracting crowds of overseas and local visitors. Its supporters fear that some or all of this might be lost in the fervour to revamp the city. Then there were concerns over the bidding process - or rather, the lack of one. The government and city authorities simply appointed Eagle Hills, a developer based in Abu Dhabi, the source of the funding for the project. Opponents say it is far from clear how Belgrade Waterfront's costs will be met. "The government said there would be no tender because 'we have the best investor already'. They just announced it would be done this way and covered it by changing the laws where necessary or just ignoring them where they couldn't change them," says Luka Knezevic Strika, a visual artist who opposes Belgrade Waterfront. "I don't mind cleaning up the trash - but not when the price is giving away the land where the trash stood. Making expensive housing doesn't have any benefit to the citizens. Leaving it as it was would have been better - we would have been richer for a future when we could have developed it as we wanted." This partly explains why a crowd of thousands is spending the early part of their Saturday evening gathering in front of Belgrade City Hall, blowing whistles and waving flags emblazoned with a cartoon of a yellow rubber duck. "The word duck in Serbian means fraud," explains Luka Knezevic Strika. "It's a symbolic way of saying the project is really Belgrade Water-fraud." But it is not just the lack of transparency that concerns the campaigners. They were formerly a small but determined group who called themselves Ne Davimo Beograd ("Don't Drown Belgrade"), but their numbers have swollen since a bizarre and disturbing incident at the end of April. Just hours after polls closed in the general election, masked men armed with baseball bats enforced the overnight demolition of several Savamala buildings that stood in the way of Belgrade Waterfront. Thousands of outraged citizens joined the Ne Davimo Beograd campaigners in a series of protests before Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic admitted, at the start of June, that city officials were behind the episode. "I'm afraid for the system when events like this happen," says Knezevic Strika. "There can't be good intentions behind something that turns out to be government-sponsored terrorism." The incident has also overshadowed Belgrade's dire need for economic stimulus and infrastructure development. This city of two million has long been one of the largest, most important and vibrant in south-east Europe. But the past 25 years have not been kind. The violent disintegration of Yugoslavia brought an international embargo and hyperinflation, as well as Nato bombs. Then just as newly independent Serbia was emerging from the literal and metaphorical rubble, the European financial crisis hit it particularly hard. James Thornley, senior partner at the Belgrade office of auditors KPMG, says there is a good business case for a development like Belgrade Waterfront. "Everything stopped on commercial development 10 years ago, and now there's a shortage. If a major investor came to us and asked where they could locate 500 or 1,000 people, we would struggle to advise them. "There really is potentially a demand for what's being offered - opportunities for the place to be a hub where people can live and work have to be a positive thing." Some changes are already apparent. Riverfront renovations have produced a promenade with playgrounds, a beach volleyball court, and food and drink outlets. It is already well used by a mix of families, cyclists and cocktail drinkers. Meanwhile, construction of the Belgrade Tower and the high-end W Hotel can be seen through transparent windows on nearby hoardings. Belgrade's planning chief, Milutin Folic, sees it as a clear improvement for citizens. "The balance is so far in favour of the project - it really changes the area in a positive direction. It's not like we're destroying an historical area and building something new. We're actually not destroying anything - we're turning brownfield into an urban area," he says. While the new riverside leisure area already seems a popular success, the protests are likely to continue. People in Serbia have learned to be deeply suspicious - after decades of dodgy sell-offs and promises that all too frequently have come to nothing. At the very least, Belgrade Waterfront now needs to do a lot of bridge-building to show it is not going to fall into that category as well. For more on this story listen to Business Daily.

Tango and his partner Julia were only hours away from being put to sleep when they were saved by Woodside Wildlife Park in Lincolnshire. Tango was given a cardboard birthday cake filled with meat to celebrate his milestone. Ben Pascoe, head keeper at the park, said he was in good health for his age. "He's got a little bit of arthritis in his elbows which is to be expected of a cat of that age, but everything else is fine," he said. "On a particularly cool day he can be seen chasing butterflies around in his enclosure and he's quite proud of himself when he catches them." As well as the cake, Tango was given present boxes filled with meat and was thrown balls smeared in horse dung to play with. But he preferred a quiet birthday resting in the sunshine, while nine-year-old Julia played with the cake and presents instead. Tango is less active than when he was younger. "Generally they live into their late teens and he's currently the oldest tiger in the UK," said Mr Pascoe. "He's the equivalent of about an 80-year-old man and I don't know of any 80-year-old men that are still running about, so he's generally quite docile. "But he's still eating and he's healthy, so he's quite happy to retire here for hopefully many years to come."

But the Wales captain, 27, says he would prefer to stay in Wales and perhaps win only one trophy during his career than seek success elsewhere. "If it takes me another 10 years to win another trophy, then I'll do that - I'll stay here," said Warburton. "I probably could have earned twice as much money going to France, but I wanted to stay in Cardiff." Warburton was the first Welsh player to sign a national dual contract. There are now 16 players on the deals which see the Welsh Rugby Union pay 60% of their wages. The contracts also give the governing body greater control over the players, and can limit the number of games they play. Warburton is one of only two Blues on the joint deals with utility back Gareth Anscombe the other. Blues wing Alex Cuthbert turned down an offer of a contract during the 2014-15 campaign, according to Wales coach Warren Gatland, prompting speculation about his long-term future. Fly-half Rhys Patchell is also being linked with a move away from Blues. Warburton insists his heart is with the city of his upbringing and where he used to watch Wales and Cardiff predecessors Martyn Williams and Robin Sowden-Taylor play. "I remember watching Dan Baugh playing when I was really young," said Warburton before Saturday's 35-30 Pro12 defeat by Glasgow. "I didn't really know many players then and I remember seeing this guy with his collars tucked in and his socks down, just taking people's heads off and I was like 'I want to do that. I want to play for this team and do that'. "I love Cardiff. That's why I've stayed here." Warburton has helped Blues win one significant trophy, coming off the bench in 2010 when they beat Toulon in what was then the Amlin Challenge Cup final, Europe's second-tier tournament. The 2013 British and Irish Lions captain and Six Nations Grand Slam winner believes "in time" Blues can go on to win more silverware under boss Danny Wilson, who is in his first season in charge. Warburton returned from Wales World Cup duty as battling Blues lost to Pro12 title-holders Glasgow. He says the Scottish team are an example of how his side can attain future success. "If you've watched them over three or four years, they've slowly built nicely and that's hopefully what we're going to start doing."

Liberty, which acquired the former Tata Steel mills in April, aims to fill up to 100 posts in the first recruitment phase. It expects that number to grow next year. The recruitment drive includes production, finance, health and safety and administrative positions. The new management team plans to restart production in mid-September. Liberty said it hoped to re-employ some ex-Tata employees who lost their jobs when the plants were mothballed by Tata last October. However, applications are also being encouraged from those looking to join the steel industry for the first time. Liberty said it planned to offer apprenticeship opportunities, including modern apprenticeships in engineering, finance and commercial planning. The Scottish government set up a steel task force after Tata announced it was mothballing the plants in Motherwell and Cambuslang. The government later bought the mills and immediately sold them to Liberty. Economy Secretary Keith Brown said: "I am delighted to see these plans for recruitment and the resumption of steel production at Dalzell and Clydebridge, following the concerted efforts of the task force involving unions, local authorities and the Scottish government. "It is testament to the hard work of everyone involved and fantastic news for both the local communities and Scotland's steel industry. "It's particularly encouraging to see Liberty opening up new apprenticeship opportunities and investing in future workers." Jon Bolton, chief executive of Liberty's new plate division which encompasses Dalzell and Clydebridge, said: "This moment marks a significant milestone in the process of bringing the steel business in Scotland back to life. "It is a just reward for the dedication of the skilled workers who had to leave the business and it also presents an opportunity for new employees to join the Liberty family."

The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said she was "swept off my feet" when she was contacted by a man she believed to be in Turkey. She lost her home, business and took out several loans over 14 months. She said: "The pressure was horrendous, and it got to the point where all the money had gone." More on this and other York stories Speaking to BBC Radio York, the woman, known as Nancy, said she had come out of a "bad marriage" and joined dating website Match.com "to dip my toe into the dating world". In July 2015, she received her first message. Nancy, from North Yorkshire, said: "I just connected with what seemed to be a very attractive-looking person who was really keen to talk to me. "There's a term for it - lovebombed - where you're just bombarded with affection and compliments. "When you're with someone who tells you how awful you are every day for ten years, then someone pays you some compliments... of course you're going to be swept away." After chatting for six weeks online, they then began talking via another messaging service, and she was asked for money. She was told the man and his young son had been attacked and mugged, with the boy requiring "urgent medical care". "It was a really bizarre amount of money, it was €3,750, it wasn't a straightforward amount of money I would have normally associated with a fraud," she said. "Reluctantly I sent the money, because I couldn't think of a child in distress and we seemed to be getting on really well." Nancy said she was "bombarded" with messages from the moment she woke up to when she went to sleep, with further requests for money coming in. She did not tell anyone about what she was experiencing. Nancy said: "As soon as the money requests came through it was posed to me that I shouldn't tell anybody because it would look really bad, nobody would understand." Action Fraud advice Nancy continued: "I came from one abusive relationship and went straight back into another one. "The manipulation was so extreme that I was told that if I didn't send money, they would starve and die. I didn't want that on my conscience. "You get to the point where you have lost so much money, you have to keep going in the hope that you're wrong." After reading fraud advice online, Nancy went to police at the start of September, but by this time, more than £300,000 had gone. No arrests have been made over the crime, also known as 'catfishing'. Nancy added: "I've got no house and huge debts, but the pressure has now gone. "I've restarted my business and have got a really good support network now."

Retail sales grew by 5.9% compared with July 2015, the Office for National Statistics said. "Better weather this year could be a major factor, with sales of clothing and footwear doing particularly well," said Joe Grice of the ONS. He added that there was anecdotal evidence suggesting the weaker pound encouraged overseas visitors to spend. Sales of watches and jewellery were up 16.6% in July compared with the same month last year - the biggest jump in nearly two years. Compared with June, UK retail sales were up 1.4%, a figure that was much stronger than expected. Sterling climbed almost a cent against the dollar after publication of the figures. The retail data went against expectations of an immediate hit to consumer confidence from the UK's vote to leave the European Union. Other figures released earlier this week also showed little immediate impact of the Brexit vote on the labour market, but there were signs of inflation pressures building after the plunge in sterling, which could diminish the spending power of households. Dennis de Jong of UFX.com said: "The High Street certainly hasn't taken as big a hit as many had predicted in the immediate aftermath of Brexit, but retailers will still have concerns about what lies ahead over the next few months. "The government won't be celebrating just yet, as they will need to see more evidence that consumers are continuing to reach for their wallets as the effects of Brexit become clearer." Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist for Pantheon Macroeconomics said that "consumers' blissful ignorance won't last long". "July's retail sales figures show that consumers have been protected from the immediate fallout of the Brexit vote, but with firms intending to stop hiring and inflation set to soar, the High Street is set for a tough year," he said. "The real test for consumer spending lies in 2017 when jobs cuts will kick in and inflation will erode spending power," Mr Tombs added. The Bank of England more than halved its forecasts for household spending growth over the next two years after the vote to leave the EU. It now expects growth in spending of 1.0% and 0.75% in 2017 and 2018 respectively due to lower growth in wages and higher inflation.

Lacking their usual high tempo, Rovers were made to work by a Morecambe outfit full of industry and endeavour. Peter Murphy put the visitors in front before in-form John Marquis levelled after the break. Both sides had goals ruled out for offside in the early stages, with Andy Williams and Michael Rose netting for the hosts and visitors respectively. There was no doubt as Morecambe took a surprise lead after 24 minutes. A scruffy first touch for skipper Murphy worked in his favour, presenting him with space to curl a fine effort past Ian Lawlor. Doncaster emerged for the second half with more urgency and James Coppinger curled wide from 20 yards before Conor Grant clipped a free-kick over the crossbar. Rovers finally levelled after 56 minutes when Marquis deftly side-footed home from 12 yards. Doncaster looked the more likely to grab a winner and Marquis drilled wide from 25 yards with their best effort, but Lawlor had to be alert to keep out a late shot from substitute Rhys Turner to keep the scores level.

Tim Robinson, 54, slipped while walking under Golden Cap, east of Lyme Regis on the Jurassic Coast on Saturday. After crawling for three-quarters of a mile (1.2km), he was found by his wife who had become concerned for his welfare. A coastguard statement said it was "quite an ordeal" for Mr Robinson. The coastguard said Mr Robinson had been walking on rocks on the western end of the beach at about 16:30 GMT when he slipped and injured his leg. With no means of calling for help, he dragged himself off the rocks back on to the beach and then crawled in the darkness towards Seatown. He was eventually discovered by his wife who had gone to look for him and she raised the alarm. The couple, from the Derby area, were on holiday in Bridport. The coastguard rescue team saw "faint torch lights" on the beach and crew from an RNLI lifeboat swam ashore to reach Mr Robinson. With a rescue helicopter unavailable due to fog, he was transferred on to the lifeboat and taken to Lyme Regis from where he was taken by ambulance to hospital in Dorchester. Mr Robinson, who is a full-time member of the Territorial Army, said: "I just slipped on a rock and have two fractures of the right leg. Everyone who helped me was just terrific." RNLI helmsman Jon Broome said: "His military background came to the fore. He found some sticks and used them to get to the beach. He then crawled on his hands and knees for a good two hours. "The position he was in wasn't easy to get to. It was tricky, but you want to look after the guy as best as possible." The coastguard statement said people should take a fully charged smartphone when walking on the coast.

James King, founder of Oliver James Garden Rooms, has just arrived at his latest project in Milton Keynes. When the build is completed in May it will house a kitchen and additional living space in an open plan format. Yet, surveying the spick and span surroundings, James doesn't look happy. "It's a bit of a mess," he frowns. James is a stickler for tidiness. But there's a very practical reason behind his insistence on perfection. "I'm registered blind, it's a condition called retinitis pigmentosa," he says. "I basically have 10% sight but with no peripheral vision. "It's like looking through a letterbox or a viewfinder in a camera. Because my sight is so poor there can't be anything lying around for me to trip over." James, 48, has worked in construction since he was 18. He first noticed a problem with his sight in his early 20s. "I tried to get on with my job on a building site, but my eyes kept getting worse. At night I couldn't see at all. "I tried to ignore it but it started to impact on my work. When I was on sites as part of a team, we were paid by how many bricks we laid and I was getting slower and slower because I couldn't see properly. It was hampering my colleagues." He was forced to rethink his direction within the industry and in the end he managed to turn a negative into a positive. "Because my sight was so bad, my organisation had to be good. I thought ahead, tried to anticipate problems." James made the transition from hands-on building to project managing, eventually starting his own firm, contracting out construction workers to other jobs. Then in 2007, came his Eureka moment. "I was sitting at home in my conservatory, shivering. It was expensive but inefficient. In the winter it was freezing and in the summer, when the sun hit the windows it was like having a magnifying glass on the back of the house. "I thought I could do better and that's where the idea for my business came in. I designed a conservatory with no thermal break - it's not a separate space and is integrated into the house which allows it to retain heat." Unlike a traditional conservatory which has a glass roof and walls, his garden rooms have a solid roof and walls. He adds: "We use specially made glass with a gas field and it's often triple glazed." The builds aren't cheap, starting at around £40,000 and going up to more than £100,000 for bespoke versions. Most customers come to James because they either want to stay in their current properties or cannot afford to move somewhere bigger. And this kind of market is expanding. In 2014 the company expects to turn over £500,000, doubling in 2015 and again in 2016. As the business has grown and James's sight has deteriorated, he's had to constantly adapt the way he works. Since 2013, he has employed an old friend Paul Allen to act as "his eyes" on site. "I drive James to sites, help him check over work, pick up building materials from the merchants and so on," says Paul. "If a ladder hasn't been propped up properly, or if there's scaffolding around, I need to warn him. "If he goes off sick we're all in trouble!" Paul also supports James in ways not related to his sight: "We trust each other and he bounces ideas off me for a second opinion." In the next couple of years James wants to expand the business but is not going down the conventional banking route. Instead he's using existing capital in the business, as well as £50,000 he was awarded for winning the 2013 Stelios Award for Disabled Entrepreneurs. Yet James says he prefers to describe himself in another way. "I think of myself as a para-entrepreneur - different rather than disabled. When you're in London, the chap standing on the tallest column in Trafalgar Square has got one arm and one eye but we don't ever think of Lord Nelson as being disabled, he's just Lord Nelson." In 2012 one of the company's projects was shortlisted for the International Design and Architecture Awards. The competition was open to entrants from across the industry and did not take into account James's sight problems. And James believes that when customers are parting with thousands of pounds, they're not going to take into account the fact that he's got a disability. "We're selling our product in the mainstream and asking customers to spend their taxed income. They don't get a grant for buying from us," he says. "Customers don't care whether I have a disability or not, as long as we get the job done."

The 14-year-old was found dead on the banks of the River Leven in Dunbartonshire on 25 August 1996. The killer has never been found. Her mother contributed to the appeal which was broadcast on Monday night. Police said some calls to the programme related to the identity of a hooded man seen near Caroline before she died. Others were said to have offered information to the general inquiry. The Crimewatch appeal was led by Det Supt Jim Kerr in a bid to generate fresh leads. He said: "We have received a positive response following last night's appeal on the Crimewatch programme. "More than 20 calls were received and the information given to police will now be followed up by the officers from the Homicide Governance and Review Team and I am hopeful that some calls could assist with the investigation." Video contributions were made by Caroline's mother Margaret McKeich and the schoolgirl's friend Joanne Menzies, who was one of the last people to have seen her alive. Mrs McKeich, 60, told the programme that she believed locals knew who was responsible for her daughter's death. She said: "I would urge anybody to come forward, just to give me that peace and to give me closure. Caroline, from Bonhill, was heading to meet her boyfriend in Renton, having spent an evening with friends, and took a short cut from shops along Dillichip Loan towards The Towpath and the Black Bridge. On the Crimewatch programme, her friend Ms Menzies returned to the area where they parted for the final time. Urging those with information to come forward, she said: "These people should now stand up and actually finally be counted as a human being and not hiding a sickening secret." Police Scotland's Homicide Governance and Review team have begun a fresh investigation and forensic scientists are re-examining more than 300 items collected at the time of Caroline's death.

Eight teams in total will do battle for both the trophy and for places in South Korea for the youth World Cup in May. All four semi-finalists are assured of qualification for the World Cup. Only two of the teams taking part have won the top prize before, with four-time winners Egypt among the favourites. Cameroon, who have won this title once before, will be hoping the winning spirit from their senior team rubs off the junior Indomitable Lions. Zambia is banking on home ground advantage to run away with the trophy but they will have to combat formidable opposition in the form of Egypt, Guinea and Mali. Having not played in qualifiers as hosting granted them automatic qualification, the junior Chipolopolo may not know how prepared they are for competitive action. However, they did play some friendly matches in Spain - against B sides for Tenerife, FC Basel and Barcelona - winning the first two matches 1-0 with the final one ending in a 3-1 defeat. The host nation wound up its practice matches with a 2-1 win over regional rivals South Africa. Zambia may take a leaf from Senegal who made the final after hosting the tournament in 2015 falling only to eventual winners Nigeria. The junior Teranga Lions will be coming to Lusaka on a mission to amend that final loss at home. While few would expect Senegal to have trouble beating Sudan in Group B, Sudan could prove to be the surprise package given they swept aside the traditionally strong Nigerians to qualify for Zambia 2017. Senegal and Mali will be coming back to do battle after both made it to the U-20 World Cup in 2015 where they competed against each other in the third match play-off. which Mali won. The Malian government has staked an additional incentive for their team to reach the top three by offering them an extra US$1,600 bonus which counts for much given the restrictions about rewards for junior teams. South Africa will be flying the flag for Southern African teams alongside Zambia and anyone can only discount them at their own peril. Group A will be based in Lusaka with the hosts Zambia, Mali, Egypt and Guinea. Group B has Senegal, Sudan, Cameroon and South Africa, with their group games being played in Ndola. The tournament runs from February 26 to March 12.

Even though the plans are very much in the early stages there have already been a few rows, so it's clear many months of negotiation lie ahead. All the bids talk about district and county councils working more closely together along with local business groups. Some hint at cross-border partnerships. The Suffolk bid looks the most impressive so far. Its glossy publication, Working for a Better Future, sets out the benefits which devolution could bring: 70,000 new homes by 2031, the creation of 5,000 new apprenticeships and the creation of better jobs to help reduce money spent on benefits. It talks about a joined up strategic Suffolk plan and setting up a local employment service to administer universal credit. It also wants the county, rather than Whitehall, to decide how European structural funds and money for transport are spent and it asks for local control of health services. In the bid's introduction Jennie Jenkins, the leader of Babergh Council, said: "We have chosen to set aside our differences and focus on what's important - making people's lives better." The Greater Essex bid also has ambitious plans. Signed by all 15 authorities, it aims to create the fastest growing economy outside London, increasing  economic output from Â£32.5bn to Â£60bn and increasing exports by 100%. County Council leader David Finch said: "For too long the decisions which impact on the needs and aspirations of the people and businesses in Essex have been taken in Whitehall.  With our local knowledge and democratic accountability we can do better." Power sharing Norfolk's bid talks about: "An exciting proposal that will transform the economy of East Anglia". It is more vague about how devolution would work, but among its suggestions is the creation of a productivity commission which would look at plugging the skills gap, particularly in rural areas. The Norfolk bid also talks about a wish to work more closely and share powers with Suffolk and perhaps even Cambridgeshire over things like flood protection and the development of road and rail links. At the moment all the councils are pushing a county only solution but they may have to consider something more ambitious. There is concern that compared to London and the so-called Northern Power House, the government may feel that Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk are too small and giving devolution to individual counties may not be very efficient. That's why there's a lot of talk about counties merging in some form or other. A county of East Anglia may suit ministers but what would happen to local accountability? Other questions are up for discussion: If councils are sharing services do we really need district and county councils? What happens in places like Norwich, Ipswich and Southend-on-Sea, where there are city deals? Could more services be run locally instead of from Whitehall? A new start? This could be the start of something big, leading to a change in the way our local government is structured, perhaps even in how we're governed. Some people in local government are concerned. We understand there were several heated discussions leading up to the publication of these bids. There are likely to be many more in the months to come. Devolution is going to be the buzz word for the next few years. The government is keen to encourage regional autonomy, while councils are having to make big savings to their budgets and some believe the two are not unrelated - relieving Whitehall of the burden of wielding the axe. There are plenty of people who think it would benefit the east, but coming up with plans that will be acceptable to government, councils and local voters is likely to take some time.

Question: The first steps have been taken towards devolution in the eastern @placeholder . Norfolk , Suffolk and Essex councils have all told the government they want more of a say over local spending , planning and economic development .


The stadium in Lille, France, and Cardiff's fan zone erupted with cheers when the final whistle blew in the Euro 2016 quarter final game, which ended 3-1 against Belgium. It was billed as Wales' biggest game since the 1958 World Cup. The team will now play Portugal in Lyon on Wednesday. In an exhilarating game in northern France, Wales went one better than their 1958 predecessors who reached the last eight of the World Cup. However, the game got off to a tense start after Wales fell behind to Radja Nainggolan's strike in the first 15 minutes. But the team thundered back with Ashley Williams, Hal Robson-Kanu and substitute Sam Vokes proving the goal-scoring heroes. Thousands of Wales fans travelled to Lille for the quarter-final match, with many congregating in the fan zone. Some had faced hours of travel delays at the Eurotunnel to reach the stadium. After the final whistle, Neil Davies, 49, from south Wales, said Wales had played "brilliantly" and he had tears in his eyes. He said: "I thought if Belgium went 1-0 up then that would be it. They did and I thought that's us done. To come back the way we did - unbelievable." Paula Hart, 41, from Swansea, said: "It's just been immense. The Belgian fans have been the best, so fair play to them. "I'm now thinking about the final. Portugal haven't been great so why not start thinking about it?" Julian Richards, 31, of Pontypool, said: "It feels absolutely fantastic. "What we've had in the quarter-final and what I think we'll have in the semi-final is belief. Belief breeds confidence." Mr Richards, who was in the Lille fan zone, said: "One thing I will say is Belgian fans, best in the world." He took his 14-year-old son, Joel, to Lille and he said the Belgian fans had given him flags and glasses. Geraint Thomas, 51, of Menai Bridge, Anglesey, said: "Here with the proper fans [in the fan zone] it's worth the Â£200 you would have to pay for a ticket." And he was unequivocal about where Wales were headed in Euro 2016. "Next weekend we've going to the final. Forget Portugal, we're going to the final." After the game, Aaron Ramsey tweeted: "What a performance, to a man absolute quality. We have the best staff and fans in the world." Gareth Bale wrote: "DON'T TAKE ME HOME!" which has become a song popular with fans enjoying their time following Wales in France. Gary Lineker ended the BBC's Match of the Day programme saying it was "the greatest night in Wales' footballing history". Welshman and Hollywood actor Ioan Gruffudd wrote: "What a come back." First Minister Carwyn Jones added: "Incredible! Magnificent! Historic!"

When Lib Dem MPs and Lords and members of the Federal Executive gathered to endorse the coalition agreement at Local Government House, Paddy Ashdown backed it, Ming Campbell gave it his blessing; even radical Liberals like Duncan Brack backed the deal with the Conservatives. When it came to a vote just one hand was raised against the agreement. And until now the former MP for Newbury in Berkshire, David Rendel, has not talked about what was a private meeting, but after the local elections he sat down to talk on camera about the reasons why he felt he had to withhold his endorsement. "It was very lonely being on my own.  I was with a group of about 250 people - all of whom I liked and respected. "But I said in my speech that I felt this was a short-term government and all we would get would be short-term gains. Come the next election there was every chance we would go back to a minority government and any gains would be wiped out." Alone amongst those in the room he concluded that the reaction of the public was not worth the compromise. Lib Dem voters stated conclusively last week that they felt the party was on a train heading in a completely different direction to the ticket they bought.  Now they were hitched to the Conservative engine where previously the third party vote could have many different destinations. Rendel calls the loss of the referendum on electoral reform "a disaster" and feels most betrayed by the tuition fee policy. As Higher Education spokesman in Parliament he argued against the introduction of fees by Labour.  Now he says: "I felt bitterly disappointed by the hash that we made of tuition fees, in so many ways." But now he thinks the coalition must continue. "I don't think there's any point now in ending the coalition at this stage. If we did we would simply lose all the quicker all the short-term gains we have made. "I think the coalition's got to face up to the fact that the depth, strength and speed at which these cuts have been made is, I think, damaging the recovery." As to Nick Clegg's own position as leader, it is difficult to see any Liberal Democrat justifying turning on the man who managed to get such an overwhelming number of party members behind his policies. The decision was also endorsed by a special party conference on 16 May 2010 where it was reported that only 50 voted against out of a total of some 1,500 delegates. But David Rendel will always remember the day he was the only man to stand against the prevailing mood of his party. "I felt very lonely indeed. You can feel lonelier, I think, when you are standing up amongst colleagues and friends and opposing what they want to do, than you would if you were among enemies and opposing what they want to do." "I felt I was not exactly betraying my friends but clearly I was doing something they would rather I didn't do - and it is never fun to oppose people who you believe in and agree with for the most part, and trust and respect."

Question: A year ago most Liberal Democrat politicians were feeling pleased with themselves . A little hesitant about taking @placeholder , but eager for what they called a once - in - a-generation opportunity .


The 26-year-old midfielder has been ruled out for between four and six weeks by top-of-the-table Nice. He was injured on Wednesday in Nice's goalless draw at Bordeaux. His absence might mean a call-up for Ajax Amsterdam's Hakim Ziyech, who was surprisingly left out of Morocco's preliminary squad. Originally coach Herve Renard said he had no place for the 23-year-old in his list of 26 because Belhanda and Mbarak Boussoufa were his first choices as playmakers. "To play behind the striker, I already have Belhanda and Boussoufa, who are on form and playing in clubs who are leaders of their championship," he said. "At some point, you have to make choices." "I think that a guy like Ziyech, if he does not have any playing time after two to three games, will find it difficult- for him and for the staff and for the squad."

His words "will be read at the Nobel banquet in Stockholm" on 10 December as he is unable to attend the event, according to the Swedish Academy. The US musician became the literature laureate in October, but initially failed to acknowledge the award. He was called "impolite and arrogant" by a member of the academy, who said he failed to return their phone calls. Two weeks after the award was announced, on 29 October, the singer phoned the academy's permanent secretary, Sara Danius, to say: "I appreciate the honour so much. The news about the Nobel prize left me speechless." Separately, he told the Telegraph the honour was "hard to believe", adding: "Whoever dreams about something like that?" The academy has yet to reveal who will deliver Dylan's speech. Patti Smith will cover his 1962 protest song A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall at the ceremony.

The 36-year-old British actor previously played Bane in The Dark Knight Rises and has starred in films such as Inception, Lawless and Bronson. Rocketman is being made with the co-operation of Sir Elton, 66, who is an executive producer on the project. It will begin shooting in late 2014, Focus Features said. The screenplay has been penned by Lee Hall, who was Oscar-nominated for Billy Elliot, and recently worked on the film adaptation of War Horse. It follows Reginald Dwight's journey from childhood piano prodigy to global superstar, under his stage name Elton John. Hardy is respected for his wide-ranging talent, but his brawny, tattooed frame makes him an unconventional choice to star as the flamboyant musician. He is not the first actor to play Sir Elton. In 2001, Justin Timberlake appeared as a "young Elton" in the video for the latter's This Train Don't Stop There Any More. Last month, Sir Elton John played live at the Emmy Awards ceremony for the first time. He performed a tribute to Liberace, the American pianist and vocalist whose life was told in the recent biopic, Behind the Candelabra.

Elizabeth Tracey Mae Wettlaufer of Woodstock, Ontario, appeared in court on Tuesday morning. The victims were residents in two long-term care facilities where Ms Wettlaufer worked and were between 75 and 96 years old. Police said seven of the victims were given a fatal dose of a drug. The victims were five women and three men and were all residents of Caressant Care in Woodstock and Meadow Park in London, Ontario. What we know about accused Canadian nurse "The victims were administered a drug... there are obviously a number of drugs that are stored and are available in long-term care facilities," Woodstock Police Chief William Renton said at a news conference. The chief declined to comment on a possible motive, but did add that investigators are confident that they have identified all victims. Caressant spokesman Lee Griffi said the accused was a registered nurse and left their employment approximately two and a half years ago. "We deeply regret the additional grief and stress this is imposing on the families involved," Mr Griffi said in a written statement. Woodstock is a car industry and agricultural town of some 37,000 people, about 128km (79 miles) west of Toronto. In the residential neighbourhood where the Caressant Care facility is located, few people were seen coming and going. Media were staked outside the property, across from a local school. In the hallway of the adjoining retirement residence, a television could be heard playing the news of Ms Wettlaufer's arrest. An employee at the facility, who was not authorised to speak on the record, told a reporter that it was a shame the actions of one person could colour a whole profession. Ms Wettlaufer was also an employee at Christian Horizons, the long-term care facility confirmed. A spokesperson for the organisation, which was not named in the police investigation, said she stopped working for them in 2007. "Christian Horizons fully intends to cooperate with the authorities in their investigation in this matter," said chief executive Janet Noel-Annable in a statement. The daughter of one of the victims said she felt something was amiss when her father, Aprad Horwath, died at 75 in the Meadow Park facility. "You don't want to believe any of this until you get to this stage when you're actually hearing it on the radio, and then you know that it's real, and even then it's hard to believe," Susan Horvath told AM980 radio in London, Ontario. "I wanted to talk and just for my dad so that people know what happened to him instead of putting it down as, 'oh he had a stroke' or, 'oh, the old age'." Ms Wettlaufer says on her Facebook profile that she studied religious education at London Baptist Bible College before she went to nursing school at Conestoga College in Kitchener, Ontario. She lists Lifeguard Homecare as her current employer. A representative from Lifeguard Homecare has yet to respond to the BBC's calls. On the College of Nurses of Ontario website, Ms Wettlaufer's profile states that she became a registered nurse in August 1995 and then resigned on 30 September 2016. The profile also lists Parker as her former surname, and has recently been updated to note that she is facing murder charges and is remanded in custody. Ms Wettlaufer frequently posted pictures of herself on social media with her elderly parents, and described her passion for animals and the Harry Potter series. "Father's day is a great reminder of how blessed I am to still have my Dad alive and able to spend time with me", she wrote beneath a picture of her father. In another post, dated 28 September 2015, Ms Werrlaufer spoke about her difficulties overcoming alcoholism. "My own voice called to me in the darkness. Others hands lifted me when I chose the light. One year ago today I woke up not dead. 365 days clean and sober," she wrote. The deaths took place between 2007 and 2014. Police have identified the victims as: Police revealed few details about the motive or circumstances surrounding the deaths, but said that the investigation into all eight deaths started on 29 September after police in Woodstock received certain information. The investigation was a joint effort between Woodstock Police Service, London Police Service and the Ontario Provincial Police. Police said they do not know if there are other victims, but that the nurse worked in other facilities. They are urging the public to come forward if they have any information. The criminal case is the largest in Ontario province since 2006, when five men were charged for murdering eight members of the Bandidos biker gang. All five of the accused men were convicted in 2009.

He told MPs this lack of detail would not affect Brexit negotiations as he could not foresee a situation in which all EU nationals were told to leave. Ministers say they cannot guarantee EU nationals living in the UK the right to stay without reciprocal assurances. But Labour's Chuka Umunna said this stance was now just a "pretence". Prime Minister Theresa May has said she would expect to guarantee all EU citizens currently living in the UK the right to remain after the UK leaves the EU but this will depend on other EU countries offering similar assurances to British citizens living there. Campaigners say this means the two million EU citizens estimated to be living in the UK have been effectively "left in limbo" and they must not be used as "bargaining chips" in Brexit discussions over issues such as free movement and access to the single market. Giving evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee for the first time since he was appointed in July, Mr Goodwill said EU nationals made a major contribution to the UK economy and society - in areas such as the health service and agriculture - and he could not envisage a circumstance in which they were told to go home. Pressed by Mr Umunna, he said the government did not have the means of tracking down all EU nationals were it deemed necessary to remove them. "No we are not in a position and I could not foresee a circumstance where we would want to be in that position," he said. "I can't see a situation in which we would even think of that." Citizens of other EU countries living in the UK who are not working do not necessarily have national insurance numbers, resulting in gaps in the official records. Mr Umunna said the disclosure that the UK government "did not have a clue" about the number or identity of EU nationals undermined the government's whole public position and ministers should stop "carrying on with the pretence" that they had the ability to ask all EU nationals to leave. "If you can't identify all the EU nationals in our country and be in a position to remove them, what on earth is the point carrying on with the pretence that somehow if you weren't to guarantee them the right to stay, you could get rid of them," he said. Mr Goodwill replied: "I can see the sort of route you are trying to take me down but it is not a route I think we are ever going to be going down." The unwillingness of the government to offer a concrete guarantee to EU nationals was not a "bargaining ploy" but a reflection of "how things are" pending the start of official negotiations, he said. But he added that he couldn't see countries like Poland clamouring "to have their nationals returned" as part of the Brexit deal. Earlier, Mr Goodwill said the government had not decided yet whether to introduce a cut-off point after which any automatic right to stay would no longer apply. He said a number of options existed, including the date of the EU referendum, the day on which Article 50 was triggered or the day on which the UK actually left the EU. Officials have said that anyone who has been living in the UK for five years would have a virtual guarantee as they would be able to apply for permanent residence.

Media playback is not supported on this device Wada was heavily criticised by Olympic officials for its handling of the Russian doping scandal in the build-up to this summer's Rio Games. Reedie's future at the agency has been called into question just days before he stands for re-election. But the 75-year-old Briton told BBC Sport he would fight on as "the integrity of sport is at stake". Tensions over Wada's attempt to get Russia banned from the Rio Olympics were laid bare at this week's general assembly of the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC). "There was irritation from a number of national Olympic committees," said Reedie, who is also a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). "Just before Rio they would rather sport had not been involved in accusations of the breaching of rules by the Russian authorities, and I understand that, so I had to deal with it and I did deal with it." IOC president Thomas Bach told BBC Sport this week he has "no regrets" about letting Russia compete at Rio 2016. Media playback is not supported on this device But ANOC president Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah - an influential powerbroker in the Olympic movement - has called for a "neutral" leader to take charge of Wada. Reedie is due to stand unopposed for a second three-year term at a Wada board meeting this weekend. He had been told he had the IOC's support. "I've spent 15 years of my life working with Wada," he said. "I don't think it's a particularly good idea if I walk away from it simply because it's getting difficult. "We've been faced with a difficult situation. I think we're going to come through it, and we have to. The integrity of sport is at stake." The Olympic movement is bracing itself for the release next month of a second independent Wada report by professor Richard McLaren into Russian doping. His first report was damning, revealing a systematic cheating programme in the country across many sports. "If, about three and a half years ago, when I was invited to apply [to be Wada president], somebody had told me this would have happened, it maybe isn't the kind of job that you would volunteer for," said Reedie. "That having been said, there are serious issues involved here. "The past has been pretty dreadful. I'm really hopeful that once we get the second part of the McLaren report out of the way, we can draw a line under the past and move forward. "We have to get the Russian anti-doping agency properly compliant again and we need to look at what Wada is currently doing, and see if we can do it better." Wada's board meeting in Glasgow this weekend could be pivotal in the debate about how to better protect clean sport following the recent Russian scandal. Many within the anti-doping community want Wada to be strengthened, with greater independence and sanctioning power. However, the sports movement appears reluctant to hand Wada more authority, with Bach suggesting he wants a new Wada-run body to take on responsibility for testing as well as regulation.

Matt McKeown, 52, from Plymouth, reached an average 70.4mph - breaking his previous record of 45mph - at Elvington Air Field in North Yorkshire. He said he is submitting the evidence for Guinness World Records to ratify. The shopping trolley was powered by a modified Chinook helicopter starter engine and a 250cc Honda engine. It is stabilised with go-kart wheels. Following his previous record breaking attempt last month, Mr McKeown vowed to go faster and was invited to the Elvington World Wheelie Records Straightliners event on Sunday. "It was the first time I've actually been scared driving that thing," he said. "I was quite nervous going out, but when I realised how close I was to getting over 70mph as an average, I thought I'd have to push the boat out a bit and take a bit more of a risk and it paid off." Mr McKeown has modified the shopping trolley since his last attempt to include an extra 250cc Honda engine, which works along side the original jet engine. "I knew I could go faster, so it was actually quite frustrating before. This shows I'm true to my word," he said. Describing travelling at over 70mph on the back of the trolley he said: "Everything about it gets very twitchy and unpredictable the faster you go, and the stability drops off dramatically, so going out there and pushing over 60mph on the first run, was very, very sketchy. "I remember going out for the final run and thinking this could genuinely go very wrong and be quite painful. I was just pleased to get back to the pits in one piece." The record attempt had to be carried out more than once and Guinness World Records will accept the average speed. Mr McKeown is now submitting evidence of the attempt and hopes the record will soon be made official. He said he will not be making any further world record attempts on the trolley, but is now turning his attention to a motorised wheelbarrow. "We have done what we set out to achieve, gone faster than the national speed limit, that was the magic figure, 70mph," he said.

This was largely due to a fast pace of growth in business and professional services in the first quarter not being sustained. However, the CBI expects solid growth for the rest of the year. Lower oil prices and inflation will boost real incomes and consumer spending, it predicted. "Despite an easing in performance this month, activity over the quarter as a whole has been good," said Rain Newton-Smith, CBI (Confederation of British Industry) economics director. She said that exporters "face real challenges, especially from the impact of a stronger pound against the euro and still weak global export markets".

Polk County Sheriff Johnny Moats said the Georgia prisoners, who all have committed minor crimes, would each have their sentences shortened by 25%. The work crew had been cutting grass at a public cemetery when the corrections officer who was guarding them collapsed in the heat. The six men used the guard's phone to call police and began performing CPR. "When that happened, in my opinion, it wasn't about who is in jail and who wasn't," inmate Greg Williams told 11alive.com. "It was about a man going down and we had to help him," he continued. The work crew ran to the lone officer after he fell to the ground and removed his bullet-proof vest to perform CPR. Rather than take his pistol and run off, they used his mobile phone to call for an ambulance. "None of my guys ran," the officer told WKYC. "None of them did anything they shouldn't have done." The family of the officer, who does not wish to be identified, bought a lunch of pizza and cupcakes for his incarcerated rescuers the next day. Sheriff Moats said that "anytime we have a trustee or inmate crew that goes beyond normal duties, we cut them some extra time off". The inmates' reaction also "really speaks a lot about my officers too, how they treat these inmates", he added. "They treat them like people. Like family." Their actions come in stark contrast to two other Georgia convicts who were arraigned on Wednesday on charges of murdering two prison guards while being transported between prisons. Prosecutors say they intend to seek the death penalty for Donnie Rowe and Ricky Dubose, who were captured in Tennessee after a three-day manhunt.

The two-and-a-half mile race, won by Her Majesty's Estimate in 2013, will now be called the Gold Cup in Honour of The Queen's 90th birthday. Her Majesty's representative at Ascot, Johnny Weatherby, said the Queen is "delighted" by the decision. The race, which will be run on 16 June, will revert to the Gold Cup in 2017. Mr Weatherby added: "The Gold Cup, recently won of course by the Queen herself, is the historic centrepiece of Royal Ascot, and is very much the race which resonates most with the public." The Queen's birthday is on 21 April.

The Garden Bridge Trust needs to raise an estimated £185m to complete the project. But its latest annual accounts show a shortfall of £56m. However, Garden Bridge Trust chair Lord Davies said trustees still expected construction to start this year. The trust's accounts for 2016 filed with Companies House show it has yet to secure the land on the South Bank of the Thames for the bridge's southern landing. They also show that the trust may need additional funding that would not be repayable "if the project is not able to proceed" in the first half of this year. And the accounts raise the possibility that "in a worst-case scenario" the trust might have to consider "whether the project remains viable". If the project does not go ahead, London mayor Sadiq Khan has estimated that £40m of public money already spent would be lost to taxpayers. In total the trust said it had received financial commitments totalling £129m from private investors, donors or public funds. Of that, £60m is to come from the Department of Transport and Transport for London (TfL), £20m of which will be repaid to TfL by the trust over time. But of the £39m raised in 2016 for the project, £26m came from the DfT, meaning the trust raised only £13m last year. In the accounts, Lord Davies warns: "Due to material uncertainties in existence ahead of finalising these accounts trustees are unable to conclude that the trust is a going concern and feel it only appropriate to flag these risks. "It is hoped that these will be resolved over the months ahead but since a number of these risks are outside of the control of the trustees, they recognised that if this is not possible they will need to consider the further delay to the project, and in a worst-case scenario, whether the project remains viable." The Garden Bridge has been beset with problems. In September Mr Khan ordered a review into whether the public had so far been given value for money from the project, adding he believed there had not "been the necessary standard of transparency and openness around the Garden Bridge". That review, led by Dame Margaret Hodge, a former chair of the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee, has yet to report back but Mr Khan has already said that no more taxpayer money will be provided to fund the project. In October it emerged that former prime minister David Cameron had ignored the advice of civil servants over Garden Bridge funding, personally intervening to approve extra taxpayer money for the controversial project. The National Audit Office (NOA) said at the time that nearly £23m of taxpayer money was at risk of being lost.

"Your iron industry is dead, dead as mutton. Your coal industries, which depend greatly on the iron industries, are languishing. Your silk industry is dead, assassinated by the foreigner. Your woollen industry is in articulo mortis, gasping, struggling. Your cotton industry is seriously sick. Your shipbuilding industry, which held out longest, is come to a standstill." The Latin, the silk and the mutton are a dead giveaway. Not Trump, but Lord Randolph Churchill in 1884 denouncing Free Trade. The system he preferred - "Fair Trade" - is coming back into fashion. We have heard a lot about the revolt against the political elites, the backlash by those "left behind" by globalization; a lot about the movements and political personalities this has brought to the fore; a lot about the implications for immigration. But not so much about the economics of it all. It many signal a new rejection of one of the global elite's most cherished policies - free trade. This is the notion that the fewer economic barriers around the world, and the less countries protect their own goods and trade with special policies, the richer we all end up. The opposite is protectionism - making foreign goods more expensive by putting taxes on their import , tariffs, in order to make home-grown products cheaper by comparison. While few embrace the word protectionism, growing numbers of politicians are openly embracing the principle behind it. Donald Trump has said he would put a swingeing 45% tax on goods from China and 35% on many from Mexico. Many economists mock this as crazy stuff, but it is a sentiment that goes down well with many Americans. I remember well talking to a wide variety of people at "the biggest little flea market in the world" in Kentucky, including a man sadly selling Western-style cowboy belts made in China. Just about everyone I spoke to complained about "the jobs going to Mexico and China". Trump is not alone, and this is a sentiment not only of the right. Bernie Sanders has made it very clear he is opposed to NAFTA, the free trade bloc with Mexico and Canada, and the planned Asia Pacific agreement. Trans-Pacific Partnership: What is it and why does it matter? He has been saying it for a while. This is him in 2011: "Let's be clear: one of the major reasons that the middle class in America is disappearing, poverty is increasing and the gap between the rich and everyone else is growing wider and wider, is due to our disastrous unfettered free trade policy." The fringe has come to the fore. That changes the mood of the mainstream too. The person still most likely to end up in the White House, Hillary Clinton, was once a fierce defender of the Asia deal. She now says: "I do absorb new information. I do look at what's happening in the world. Take the trade deal. I did say, when I was secretary of state three years ago, that I hoped it would be the gold standard. "It was just finally negotiated last week, and in looking at it, it didn't meet my standards…. I want to make sure that I can look into the eyes of any middle-class American and say: 'this will help raise your wages'. And I concluded I could not." What the US does will set the tone for the rest of the world. And the enthusiasm for free trade is being increasingly questioned in the rest of the world. The "Vote Leave" campaign here advocates free trade, and says it will continue if we vote to exit the European Union. But opponents point out that, in at least a couple of possible futures, new tariffs would be imposed on us. One passionate Brexit campaigner, the entrepreneur and inventor Sir James Dyson, faces that prospect with equanimity. He told the Telegraph: "If, as David Cameron suggested, they imposed a tariff of 10% on us, we will do the same in return. We buy more from Europe than they buy from us, so we would be the net beneficiary, and based on these numbers it would bring £10bn into the UK annually." A debate that seemed all but settled with the repeal of the Corn Laws  in the UK could about to become one of the most central issues in politics. In Our Time: The Corn Laws It is worth remembering that argument split the Conservative Party between its economic liberal and nationalist wings. Again the left has its own concerns. Jeremy Corbyn may be campaigning with 75% commitment to remain in the EU, but he is against the Free Trade deal (TTIP) with the US. TTIP: The EU-US trade deal explained The EU itself is, formally, a great supporter of free trade, while there is a suspicion that on the sly countries like France give advantage to their own industries, whenever  they can get away with it. But Europe's fastest growing economy has announced this week a more open breach with the internationalist philosophy. The determinately populist ruling party in Poland, has just declared a "Farewell to Neoliberalism". The deputy Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, declares the nation is too dependent on foreign money: "We want the invisible hand of the market supported by the visible hand of the state". The Hungarian Prime Minister has been following a similar path for some time. This reaction, in the US and Europe, is part of the aftershock of the 2008 economic crisis and the sense of frustration and powerlessness felt by many voters. But free trade is not just questioned in the West. China has recently imposed 46% tariffs on certain types of steel. While it is attempting to close down loss-making "zombie industries" the primacy of the party is all, and it will not allow unfettered international competition threaten social stability. And the Chinese are the main target of such measures by countries around the globe. Researchers believe free trade has been under attack for several years. The 2015 report from the Centre for Economic Policy Research's Global Trade Alert, says: "the 'level playing field' has taken a battering this year … governments imposed 539 trade distortions in the first ten months of this year, of which the G20 were responsible for 443". Another report from last year, by the EU, also finds backsliding, claiming the G20 is breaking its promises: "(the) pledge to refrain from adopting new trade-restrictive measures - and to roll back those in place - has not been honoured.... What is more, trade restriction has shifted eastwards, with Russia, China, India and Indonesia among the main offenders". This is a huge challenge to the rebalancing of the world economy which we cover with the dustsheet rubric "globalisation". National politicians have always put their own country's economic interests first. But for decades those in power have argued economics is not a zero-sum game, and what benefits one benefits all. While the game hasn't quite changed to "beggar thy neighbour" those who want to look after the left-behinds, or at least court their votes, may clamour for a contest where the richer nations reassert their self-perceived right to be top dog.

This happened in the 1960s in Cessnock, a former mining town in the New South Wales Hunter Valley, but only now has this and other decades-old stories of sexual violence and degradation been heard, catalogued and, crucially for many victims, believed. The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse is an unprecedented investigation into an epidemic of depravity across Australia. The far-reaching inquiry began in 2013 and has heard from thousands of survivors of paedophiles who worked, or volunteered, in sporting clubs, schools, churches, charities, childcare centres and the military. It has the power to look at any private, public or non-government body that is, or was, involved with children. The Commission's task is to make recommendations on how to improve laws, policies and practices to protect the young. To date, it has held more than 6,000 private sessions, along with several high-profile public hearings. Paul Gray told investigators that between the ages of 10 and 14, he was sexually assaulted by Father Peter Rushton in Cessnock every one or two weeks. Sometimes, his attacker had an accomplice. "I was chased by two men to the edge of the cliff and I hid in the bushes. "After a while they dragged me from the bushes and I was raped by the two men, and while I was being raped I could hear another boy screaming," said Mr Gray, fighting back tears as he recounted memories that have burned inside him for half a century. Too ill to travel from the Vatican to Sydney to give evidence, Australia's most prominent churchman, Cardinal George Pell, was questioned via video link by the Royal Commission over what he knew about alleged abuse and cover-ups within the Catholic Church. For four days earlier this year, the senior Vatican official was quizzed, denying any personal wrongdoing but conceding the organisation had made grave errors. "I am not here to defend the indefensible," said Cardinal Pell. "The Church has made enormous mistakes, is working to remedy those, but the Church has in many places - certainly in Australia - mucked things up." When he was 13, John Ellis, a former altar boy, was molested by an Australian monk who was also implicated in a suspected paedophile ring at a former Catholic boarding school in the Scottish Highlands. Now a solicitor, Mr Ellis works with other victims, and we meet at a public hearing held by the commission on the 17th floor of Governor Macquarie Tower that stands over central Sydney. Presiding over the session is the chief royal commissioner, Justice Peter McClellan, a judge of appeal in New South Wales. He is one of six commissioners; two women and four men, and they include a former Queensland police chief, a consultant child psychiatrist and a retired federal politician. They have fanned out across Australia to document a nation's shame. "The most important thing for people in being invited to give their own stories and having their stories valued is that somebody cares," Mr Ellis told the BBC news website. "For many, many years people have been silenced, people have been fearful of what reaction they will get if they were to tell their truth. The overwhelming emotion people have when they have had that opportunity is empowerment." When it hands down its final report at the end of 2017, this painstaking inquiry will have lasted for almost five years.  Already, more than 1,700 cases have been referred to the authorities, including the police. More prosecutions will almost certainly follow, but many victims will never savour justice. Dr Wayne Chamley, from Broken Rites, a group that gives a voice to the abused, said decades of brutality had left a terrible legacy. "When you look at the rate of suicide for men who had these experiences and compared it with age-matched data from the coroners' courts, their risk factor is 20 to 40 times higher for suicide," he explained to the BBC. "There are townships where there have been waves of suicide with hundreds of men. [In] Ballarat [in Victoria state], at least 50 or 60 suicides across just three classes in the primary school - just three classes of boys who became men. Bang. Devastating." Gerard McDonald, 52, is a survivor of abuse, and one of thousands of people who have told their stories to the commission. His attacker, a Catholic priest, has spent 14 years in prison for attacking 35 boys. "After every other altar boy practice in 1975, before dropping me home Father (Vincent) Ryan would sexually abuse me. All I could do was think about running to my mate's place and getting the biggest two knives he had and killing him," he said. While this harrowing process is undoubtedly cathartic for Australia - and it's inevitable that legislation and procedures will eventually change to make children safer - campaigners insist many youngsters today still remain at risk from predators in institutions, while paedophiles stalking the internet continue to groom the vulnerable.

It stopped short of banning the material outright and instead will require users to log-in to access it. The company reiterated its existing complete bans of illegal content, including child abuse images and so-called "revenge porn". Some users argue the site is acting against its free speech principles. Newly-instated chief executive and co-founder Steve Huffman told users: "We've spent the last few days here discussing, and agree that an approach like this allows us as a company to repudiate content we don't want to associate with the business, but gives individuals freedom to consume it if they choose." He made the announcement after over a week of controversy surrounding the site's policies, its management and direction. The hugely popular site allows users to share links on any conceivable subject. Other users are then able to up- or down-vote links, meaning the most popular content surfaces to the top and is more prominent. The site is divided into subreddits for certain topics, such as r/technology or r/worldnews. However, some subreddits deal with extremely dark material - such as the sharing of images of dead bodies, or extremely racist material that advocates violence. It is this material that will be hidden away, but not deleted, Mr Huffman said. "This classification will require a login, must be opted into, will not appear in search results or public listings, and will generate no revenue for Reddit," he said, adding that such areas violated "a common sense of decency". The new policy was a work in progress, he said. "If the hateful users continue to spill out into mainstream Reddit, we will try more aggressive approaches. "Freedom of expression is important to us, but it's more important to us that we at Reddit be true to our mission," he said. "We believe there is value in letting all views exist, even if we find some of them abhorrent." Sarah Jeong, author of The Internet of Garbage, which looks at online abuse, said the announcement was unusual. "Delisting or deindexing subreddits is an attempt to strike a balance, but it's a bizarre one," she told the BBC. "It's a middle-of-the-road approach that neither 'preserves' freedom of speech nor really rehabilitates Reddit's image." While some content on Reddit can be easily defined as wrong or illegal, users and moderators on the site have often clashed over more ambiguous areas of the website. In June, the subreddit r/fatpeoplehate - which has 151,000 subscribers - was banned by the site under its anti-harassment rule. But some users felt this limited free speech on the site. It was this episode - and the sacking of a popular employee - which led to the opening of a petition to have the interim chief executive Ellen Pao removed from her post. Ms Pao resigned last week. Yishan Wong, another former Reddit chief executive, said Ms Pao had been unfairly treated by the board. Writing in the Washington Post, Ms Pao said on Thursday that the "trolls are winning the battle for the internet". Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC

Three-quarters of family doctors in Scotland who took part said the amount they have to do "at times has a negative impact on quality of care". Scotland has the highest proportion of concerned GPs, according to the British Medical Association national survey. A quarter (25%) said their workload was "unmanageable". A further 17% said their workload "significantly negatively impacts" on the quality of care they can provide. Three-fifths (60%) of doctors in Scotland who took part in the 2015 national survey described their workload as being "generally manageable" but "too heavy at times". Only 8% thought having 10 minutes for each consultation was sufficient time, with 63% wanting longer consultations for certain groups of patients - such as those with long-term conditions - and 30% saying there should be more time available for all patients. A total of 1,844 doctors in Scotland took part in the research, with the BMA saying this represented 37% of all GPs in the country. When asked what would help them deliver the "essential components of general practice", 75% wanted longer consultation times, 74% believe there should be more GPs and 69% responded that increased core funding for practices would make a difference. Dr Colette Maule, co-negotiator of the BMA's Scottish GP committee, said: "This survey reflects the immense pressure that GPs working across Scotland are feeling just now. "The rising workload is simply unsustainable and something has to change otherwise general practice will break. "Giving us more time with patients, expanding the GP workforce and supporting the practice-based primary care team will help to ensure the quality of care our patients receive remains of a high standard. "In addition, providing stable funding arrangements to meet the rising costs of providing increasingly complex care in the community will alleviate some of the helplessness that GPs are clearly feeling just now. "Politicians need to stop fixating on how they can demand more from general practice and instead focus on what they can do to support GPs to provide the quality of care that our patients deserve within the constraints that exist." Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "The recently-agreed new GP contract in Scotland will give general practice financial stability, reducing the bureaucratic burden and freeing up GPs to spend more time with patients. "Individual GP practices determine their appointment and consultation arrangements. "The length of a consultation will vary depending on the clinical needs of the individual patient and is a matter of professional judgement for the GP." Ms Robison added: "The Scottish government is determined to continue supporting and sustaining Scottish general practice. Under this government, spending on GP services has increased by Â£69.7 million or 10%. "This government's investment in primary care has seen the number of GPs increase by 6.9%. There are now more GPs per head of population in Scotland than England."

In some cases, ISPs are advertising services as fibre that rely on slower copper wires for the final link to a customer's home. The probe has been prompted by consumer complaints and calls from MP Matt Warman to investigate. Mr Warman said ISPs were misleading customers by giving them copper when they expected fibre. In a statement, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said it was acting because of "evolving concerns" about the way fibre broadband services were advertised, and recent changes to government policy, which meant far more people would potentially have access to such services. Policy papers spelling out the government's view made clear that fibre should be used only to describe services that rely on the faster cables from end to end, it said. The ASA said it would consider whether ISPs should be able to continue using "fibre broadband" to describe both full and part-fibre services. "We will be considering whether the use of that term is likely to cause people to be materially misled," it said. The ASA did not say when it would complete its work but said it would provide an update by the summer. James Blessing, chair of the council at the UK's Internet Service Providers Association said it had been "working with the ASA on their wider review into broadband advertising to ensure that adverts are understood by consumers and help them make informed choices about the services, products and technologies that best suit their needs." He said ISPA "looked forward" to helping the ASA's review of what the word "fibre" means in adverts. Andrew Ferguson, co-founder of the ThinkBroadband website, said "clarity" on advertising would be welcome. "Then we can avoid adverts that promote fibre optic broadband but clearly show a coax cable with a metal core," he said. Telecoms watchdog Ofcom offers an app that can help consumers check broadband speeds and availability. Commercial sites. such as ThinkBroadband and USwitch, have also made tools that let people check deals and speeds available.

The Bulls' fate has been in the balance since the full extent of their financial worries emerged in the weeks since their dramatic final-day escape sent Chester down instead. Chester have been reinstated as a Conference Premier club and Hayes & Yeading will stay in Conference South. "Hereford United can have no complaints. The Conference bent over backwards to help them. "I described the news of the board's offer of an extension on Friday evening as not so much 'last chance saloon', but rather 'last orders in last chance saloon' and United have seemingly chosen not to offer the league the assurances they were seeking. "It is a desperately sad day for all Hereford supporters, but the Bulls have nobody to blame but themselves. "You have to feel very sorry for those players who gave their all at Aldershot on the last day of the season to keep Hereford in the Conference Premier. Sadly, those efforts now count for nothing." The Conference had originally offered a payment deadline of Thursday, 5 June. The club's debt to their football creditors, including former boss Martin Foyle, members of the current squad, other club staff and clubs from whom the Bulls loaned players during the 2013-14 season, added up to £148,000. That deadline was extended three times, to Friday, 6 June, then again to Saturday, 7 June and for a third time until Thursday, 12 June. But it became clear on Tuesday that the Bulls, taken over last week by London businessman Tommy Agombar, would not make that deadline - and the Conference has now acted. The last team to be expelled from the Conference was Chester City in February 2010. They reformed as Chester FC two months later - and it is now they who have taken the Bulls' place, following a dramatic final day of the season when, almost simultaneously, a late Hereford winning goal at Aldershot and a Salisbury equaliser at Chester kept the Bulls up. By way of an added twist, Chester announced on Tuesday that Kingsley James, who was in Hereford's team that day, has moved to Bumpers Lane. 26 April - Hereford stay up on final day of Conference Premier season 29 April - Hereford United Supporters' Trust make offer to buy the club for £1 and clear their £220,000 debts 22 May -  Former Bulls boss Martin Foyle serves winding-up petition over unpaid wages, after players reveal they have not been fully paid too 2 June - Case adjourned for 28 days at Royal Court of Justice 3 June - Tommy Agombar takes over as new Hereford owner 5 June - Hereford fail to meet 17:00 BST deadline to pay football creditors, and are threatened with expulsion, subject to Conference board vote 6 June - Hereford meet with Conference board and are given new deadline of 7 June. The deadline is moved to 9 June, then 12 June 10 June - Hereford expelled from Football Conference And former Hereford boss Foyle, now manager at Southport, chose the same day to sign another player from that same Bulls team, keeper Dan Lloyd-Weston, who opted to leave as he was still owed part of his salary. When last season ended, despite months of fundraising efforts by fans, as well as generous donations from fans of other clubs, the Bulls faced debts of approximately £225,000. They still owe over £70,000 to clear the latest PAYE tax demand from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). An offer was made by one of the club's main fan bodies, the Hereford United Supporters' Trust (HUST), on the back of pledges made by their backers, to buy the club for £1 and take over the running at Edgar Street. But, although chairman David Keyte held talks with them, they were not the preferred option. Keyte was reported to have been in talks with three different rival bidders before Agombar's takeover. The downward spiral of Hereford's financial situation since being relegated from the Football League in May 2012 has been exacerbated by falling gates. The average attendance for the 2013-14 season at Edgar Street was 1,758, little over half the average gate they attracted of 3,270 in League Two just five years ago.
