Fiona Anderson, 23, died shortly before the bodies of her daughter and two sons were found in Lowestoft in April. The children had been subject to a child protection plan since 2011. A serious case review found the deaths were "completely unexpected", but more decisive action could have helped. The report said agencies had "allowed the [intervention] process to drift". Independent consultant Ron Lock, who conducted the review, examined how public agencies worked with the family prior to the deaths. Social services and other agencies were alerted to Ms Anderson and her partner, Craig McLelland, because of concerns about their parenting abilities. They were in communication over a three-year period, with a 14-month gap in between, when concerns diminished. During that time, there were reports that Levina and her baby brother Addy had slept for 13 nights in a double pushchair while being fed only biscuits. The report concluded that, while procedures were followed, Suffolk County Council's children and young people's services (CYPS) was not decisive enough. Mr Lock found that attempts to engage with the family had failed, but there were no warning signs to suggest Levina, three, Addy, two, and 11-month-old Kyden were in immediate danger. Court proceedings to remove Levina had been initiated but were withdrawn following a legal challenge and insufficient evidence. However, the report states, the process led the relationship between the family and children's social care to become strained. "Despite interventions by a number of practitioners, there was no success in effectively engaging the family in interventions by professionals", Mr Lock found. "This meant that overall the implementation of the child protection plans was significantly compromised." The report cited how Ms Anderson "specifically avoided professional interventions", distrusted social services and rebuffed support from nursery staff because "she thought the children would be exposed to sexual abuse". The report found that almost three years before the children's deaths, in June 2010, concerns had diminished sufficiently for formal involvement to cease. "Clearly, if the children had been placed in care this could have avoided the tragic outcome," the report said. 2010 - Social services and other agencies begin working with Fiona Anderson and Craig McLelland over their parenting abilities Court proceedings to remove their only child, Levina, are withdrawn but the process puts a strain on social care's relationship with the family June 2010 - Concerns diminish, involvement ceases May 2011 - Levina and her baby brother Addy are found to have slept in a double pushchair for 13 nights and "fed only biscuits" August 2011 - Levina and Addy are made subject to child protection plans, under the category of neglect, with Kyden added to the plan at his birth in May 2012 15 April 2013 - The body of Fiona Anderson is found at the foot of a multi-storey car park in Lowestoft. The bodies of her three children are later found at their flat "But there was never any guarantee that an application for a care order for the children would have been successful. "It was nevertheless concerning that a clear decision was not made by CYPS in respect of the need for a legal intervention and instead allowed the process to drift in a most unconstructive way." Mr Lock stated there had been "no known history of either the mother or the father intentionally causing physical harm to the children, or any self-harming episodes by the parents themselves". "In this respect, the deaths of the children and their mother were completely unexpected," he wrote. "Psychological and psychiatric" assessments of the mother were proposed and discussed with her, the report concluded, but "were never achieved because of her reluctances". It added: "At the time of writing there has been no coroner's inquest, although current evidence would suggest that the mother took the lives of the children prior to taking her own life. " The report identified 13 "learning points" aimed at preventing future repetitions in similar cases. Peter Worobec, independent chair of the Suffolk Safeguarding Children Board, said "things have and will continue to change". "The action already taken to eliminate drift in such cases and ensure all child protection cases are subject to robust management oversight, particularly in Lowestoft, is laid out. "We have identified a further 21 actions that will be taken to ensure that practice is improved."

Nigel Barwell and his brother-in-law Thomas O'Reilly were first arrested three days after Nicola Payne vanished and both deny her murder. Mr Barwell said he went to France after police were "hostile" and "oppressive". He said: "Me and Thomas are innocent. We would never harm a young lady." Prosecutors allege 18-year-old Miss Payne was abducted as she crossed wasteland to her parents' house in Coventry. Mr Barwell said he and Mr O'Reilly was stuck in a broken down car in Rugby, Warwickshire, on the night she disappeared, Birmingham Crown Court heard. Mr Barwell told the jury they had been for a night out and slept in the car because the friend they had gone to visit was not in. When they woke up he said his car would not start and so they did not get home until late on the Saturday night. When asked why he had not bought a parking ticket he told the court: "I wish I had." Mr Barwell told the court until Miss Payne's disappearance, he "never even knew she existed". The jury has previously heard Mr Barwell, of Copperas Street, and Mr O'Reilly, of Ribble Road, are now aged 51 but were both 27 at the time of Miss Payne's disappearance, on 14 December. Miss Payne had a seven-month-old son, Owen, with her boyfriend Jason Cook. Her body has never been found. The trial continues.

Bananas were a staple then - for family consumption and as a mainstay of the local economy - and they still are today. But the 50,000 or so people who live in this hilly district of small trading centres and scattered homesteads have been part of a high-profile aid initiative over the past nine years. It is one of the locations across Africa chosen by the US economist Jeffrey Sachs to establish Millennium Villages - intended to be a model for accelerating the end of global poverty. The Millennium Villages concept has been backed by the United Nations, preparing a string of summits this year as the world marks a transition from the Millennium Development Goals to broader and more ambitious Sustainable Development Goals. The UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon, says the Millennium Villages are "showcasing how effective an integrated strategy for education, health care, agriculture and small business can be". It is when you reach the ridge where Ruhiira's main trading centre has developed that you get a sense of how the area is changing. Clustered around a crossroads, there are now several small grocery stores, shops selling medicines, hardware stores and eating places. There is a bar with a well-used billiards table on the veranda. There are shops where you can draw money with a mobile phone. And there is a co-operative bank with customers queuing up for loans but, for now, with all too little capital to meet the demand. There was scarcely any electricity in this area a few years ago. Then solar power started to make an appearance and now the grid is extending into the area too. A large water tank at the Ruhiira trading centre - fed by piped water - shows progress, too, in the critical area of providing more people with access to clean and safe water. Mr Sachs said that at the peak, the Ruhiira project was investing around $60 (£40) per person per year on health, education, water, sanitation, agriculture etc. (Source: Millennium Village project) Life in a town called Mongo The funding is due to drop down to zero by the end of this year. But Mr Sachs believes even modest resources, if very well directed, can make a "huge" difference. But the Ugandan government is stepping up its spending in the area, with the help of some funding from Islamic Development Bank and they are negotiating with other agencies. Some people say they have seen far-reaching change in their lives during the period of the Millennium Village project. Take Robert Nkunda, a 35-year-old farmer. He has been able to build a more substantial home and has wooden sheds for his livestock. In the fields around he grows maize, bananas, coffee and beans. But he could have felt that he had no future in this part of Uganda. "My father died when I was still very young," he says. "We didn't have enough land. Only a plot where we lived. "That is the reason I didn't go far in education. But I worked hard to buy this land where I am farming." He hopes his children won't forget the land. In the past many children used to drop out of primary school - girls, in particular. Nyakamuri primary school packs 580 children into its single storey classrooms - one of which is now a solar-powered computer room. The head teacher, Florence Kakiiza, describes the everyday challenges her pupils face: "Most of them have to walk long distances," she says. "They don't have light to do homework and most don't have enough food at home. "It is still a struggle but we are moving a bit on education… nearly every child is going to school." Ms Kakiiza says one of the biggest challenges in education now is to see more girls in impoverished rural areas like this going to - and staying in - secondary school. "Most rural girls still drop out of secondary schools," she says. "They get married when they are very young. They have many children from as early as 14." The Community Health Workers who now provide a "front line" of health care across the Millennium Village area include family planning in the advice they give to villagers as they do their rounds - on bicycles. But where they appear to have had most success is in helping in the effort to bring down once notoriously high levels of child and maternal mortality. They have modern technology on hand for this - carrying smartphones with a special app to feed in data when they visit a pregnant mother or a newborn infant. The Ugandan government has been investing about $8 per person in the health sector of the country, says David Siriri, a development expert working for the government. "We came with a proposal that we invest at least $30... If the government mobilised its resources and prioritised it well that money can be got". He said one thing already translated into policy at the national level is that the government is willing to pay more to doctors in rural, hard-to-reach areas. This helps to keep them working there, and is already happening and paying dividends in Ruhiira, he added. Critics of the Millennium Villages maintain they have achieved little in narrowing deeply rooted inequality, which is often exacerbated by the amount of land people have. Project officials argue that they are showing the way to reducing inequality - and that progress is as much about changing mindsets as it is about aid. The Millennium Voice radio station in Ruhiira airs villagers' concerns and offers advice and help. The Millennium Village projects have provoked much debate. They will clearly prove their value by whether their achievements are sustained and shared by everyone - and are taken up elsewhere.

He was talking about the retailer's efforts to drive its stores upmarket and "elevate its retail proposition". The idea is to give more space over to branded goods and showcase their "very best products", even opening gyms in some of the flagship stores. And on Thursday it announced a "strategic partnership" with upmarket Japanese sportswear brand Asics, whose products will be stocked in Asics-managed areas of flagship stores from next year. Sports Direct described this as "an important step in Sports Direct's journey to being recognised as the Selfridges of sport.'" Well, there was only one way to find out what this was all about - take a visit to its flagship store on London's Oxford Street, which is showcasing the latest approach. As I walked through the door, to be greeted by thumping music,  I dredged through my memory for the last time I'd been in a Sports Direct. It was a long time ago, but my memory was of the slightly claustrophobic feel of fighting through a crowded jumble of kit and equipment, and my perception, right or wrong, that this was an environment aimed primarily at men. So the fact that the Oxford Street store felt light and airy with plenty of space between rails was a welcome relief. But let's be honest, I'm not a typical Sports Direct customer. Yes, I exercise regularly, but fashion is not foremost in my mind when I'm struggling through another tortuous workout, and I think of Sports Direct as being more about fashion than "serious" sport. Could I be converted? Well, first off, reinforcing my prejudice that this is more of a male environment, the first thing you see as you walk through the door of the Oxford Street store is a display of club strips and a sign proclaiming this is "The Home of Football",  a reminder that another of Sports Direct's stated aims is to become just that - the home of football. And most of the customers did seem to be male. Of course, a key element of shopping is how the staff treat you. Would I be made to feel welcome? As I wandered aimlessly, an assistant did offer to help me, so a big tick there. What would happen if I tried to buy something. New boxing gloves. Could I get an assistant to advise me? Yes, as it turned out. A smiley young woman confidently explained the point of the different glove weights. OK, once I'd said I would buy them she tried to sell me a special offer on some "workout make up" but was quite happy when I said I'd think about it. So how about trying to buy something for my sartorially conservative husband? On the floor below there was no price on the black T-shirt I chose. But another assistant spent a good few minutes checking out the price on the website. Ticks all round for my experience of the staff I came up against, anyway. So then I waylaid shoppers as they left the store to gauge their reactions. Rory Bryant, a teacher who used to work in advertising, had come into buy some socks. He had spotted the shift upmarket and was impressed by the lighter feel, "compared to most Sports Direct stores". "Most are a jumble of crumpled socks and piles of clothing," he says. Photographers' agent James Denton, 49, had been in the Oxford Street store for the first time. He came out with a football for his two-year old son. He said he normally thought of the chain as a slightly downmarket depressing experience. "so it definitely feels different". "Stuff is a lot better laid out, they've put a lot of thought into design and layout of everything," he added. Another customer, Philip Yardy, described the design of the shops as "open, appealing" and encouraging people to walk through. But Stuart Deveson wasn't quite so happy. He spent all of 10 seconds in there, he said. He agreed the entrance to the shop "looks quite nice", but said the reason he had walked out so quickly was because he'd gone in to buy shorts and couldn't find them. "If they're not going to make it easy to find what I want, I'll go somewhere else," he said. Sports Direct now has more than 25 new generation stores, of which 12 are "flagship" outlets. It plans to open between 16 and 24 new stores in the current financial year, of which about half will be flagship stores. So is Sports Direct "smashing it out of the park" with its "Selfridges of Sport" concept? Financial analysts seem happy enough with how it's going. Neil Wilson, senior market analyst at ETX Capital, said this had been a "transformational" year for Sports Direct. Progress was being made on the new premium stores, he said, and they were "a lot more profitable than the existing Sports Direct stores". Initial impressions from the shoppers I spoke to at least do seem positive. Perhaps the last word should go to customer Rory Bryant, who compared the Oxford Street flagship with another retail success story. He said it was now "more like Niketown up the road", and perhaps that, as much as Selfridges, is the inspiration behind the chain's makeover.

There's a growing realisation that offshore decommissioning is now really happening. Over the next 25 years or so, the process of retiring North Sea oil and gas facilities could cost tens of billions of pounds, according to projections. But while that is a cost for the operators of the more than 600 oil and gas installations in the North Sea it is an opportunity for firms which can develop the safest and most cost-effective ways forward. It could also mean hundreds of new jobs requiring a new kind of expertise in the coming decades. A major industry event - Decom Offshore 2015 - has been running at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre. The event is run by Decom North Sea (DNS), which was created in 2009, the representative body for the offshore decommissioning industry. DNS chairman Callum Falconer said: "We are cutting our teeth. There's a sudden realisation that decommissioning is upon us. "Decommissioning used to be seen as the beginning of the end. Now it's seen as the beginning." "One challenge is that we have to make sure the workforce comes together. "There's an opportunity for young graduates and engineers to carve out a career in decommissioning." Mr Falconer highlighted work that is under way on a new decommissioning learning portal for the industry, to share ideas, which he predicted would be a "game changer". One of the major decommissioning plans already in the pipeline is for the iconic Brent field, off Shetland, which operated by Royal Dutch Shell. The oil field lends its name to the benchmark for setting oil prices in the North Sea - Brent Crude. Shell has four platforms in the field but only one of them, Brent Charlie, still produces oil. DNS chief executive Nigel Jenkins outlined five key areas of decommissioning focus - driving collaboration, efficiency, getting the supply chain ready, innovation, and delivering benefits. Mr Jenkins said: "Collaboration is key due to the interconnected nature of the industry, and the need to share knowledge. "Decommissioning on this scale has not happened before. "Particularly for this region, for Aberdeen, we need to make this area is a centre of excellence, a place where the right sort of expertise is available." He explained there had been about 10 major decommissioning projects in the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) over the past 20 years, and there was now set to be a "ramp up" in such activity. He said it was difficult to predict potential job numbers, but highlighted that Shell's Brent decommissioning project has hundreds of people working on it. Mr Jenkins said: "There are so many influences over when a project will happen, including age, oil left in a field, and the price of oil. "That equation is different for every operator." He said: "This conference has shown what a great pool of talent there is to address the challenges. There is a positive feeling. "We're at the beginning of the market. We are at a point of seismic change." Shell's current work is not the first decommissioning project from the Brent field. Twenty years ago, the Brent Spar got international coverage over Shell plans to dump the oil storage module in the deep waters of the North Atlantic. Protesters from Greenpeace occupied it for several days in 1995 and Shell was forced to alter its plans. Brent Spar was instead towed to Norway and moored in a fjord, before being broken up. Although the first stage of this fresh wave of plans - using a giant ship to remove the top of platforms in a single lift - is unlikely to prompt controversy on that scale, there is little doubt the second phase will be the subject of closer scrutiny. This involves contaminated concrete oil storage tanks, which sit on the seabed next to the platform's legs. This challenging new chapter in the North Sea story is well and truly under way.

Question: As a growing number of North Sea oil and gas fields head towards the end of their production lives , industry leaders are waking up to the challenges - and opportunities - that lie ahead . Hundreds of business figures @placeholder a conference in Aberdeen this week to learn more about where the decommissioning process is heading .


A bust is being unveiled of Patrick O'Connell at the Seville club's Estadio Benito VillamarÃn before the home game with Real Sociedad. Among those attending will be his grandson Michael O'Connell from Leigh. Patrick O'Connell, who died in poverty in London in 1959, is also credited with saving Barcelona in the 1930s. The Patrick O'Connell Memorial Fund raised more than Â£10,000 for the project which has been backed by some of football's biggest names. The fund previously raised money for a memorial on his unmarked pauper's grave in north London. Fergus Dowd, one of the appeal's organisers said: "Patrick O'Connell had an incredible career. He was like Brian Clough with Nottingham Forest. "He took Real Betis from Spain's second division, beating Real Madrid to the club's only championship in La Liga." O'Connell, who was the first Irish player to captain Manchester United, also skippered Ireland to their first British Home Championship. The former Belfast Celtic, Sheffield Wednesday and Hull City player, nicknamed 'Don Patricio' in Spain, joined Barcelona after a four-year spell as coach of Real Betis where he masterminded its promotion from the second division before securing the title in 1935. When Barcelona almost folded in the 1930s under pressure from General Franco's forces, O'Connell, their manager, helped organise a money-spinning tour to Mexico and the US which raised $12,000. "He was in Ireland when the civil war broke out. He was told he didn't have to return but he came back," said Mr Dowd. "One writer has said that in terms of Barcelona's history his name should be up there with Cruyff, Maradona and Messi." O'Connell was inducted in the Catalan club's hall of fame in December 2015.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based group, says Birmahle village was hit on Friday and that some people were still trapped in rubble. A spokesman for US Central Command it had  "no information to corroborate allegations that coalition air strikes resulted in civilian casualties". But he said it was investigating. Earlier this month, the Observatory said the US-led air campaign had killed more than 2,000 people in total, including at least 1,922 IS fighters. "Air strikes by the coalition early on Friday on the village of Birmahle in Aleppo province killed 52 civilians," Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told AFP news agency. Seven children were killed, and 13 people were still unaccounted for, the group said. The village lies close to a front line where Islamic State fighters have been clashing with Kurdish and other rival rebel factions. IS, a jihadist group seeking to establish a caliphate in Iraq and northern Syria, controls swathes of territory on both sides of the border. It has clashed with other factions fighting the forces of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad The US expanded its air strike campaign against IS last September. Countries that have carried out raids in Syria also include Canada, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.

It comes after his tour was cancelled and ITV dropped his TV show. The controversial Vine star - whose real name is Daniel O'Reilly - has angered people after making jokes about rape and homelessness. He told the BBC "it was a type of comedy he shouldn't have been doing". He was due to start a 12 date tour in February but that was scrapped before the announcement. The promoters SJM Concerts have told Newsbeat people who bought a ticket should "return to point of purchase for a refund". Newsbeat has been trying to get hold of Dapper Laughs but he's not got back to us. The "Full Length" tour was due to visit England, Scotland and Wales. His Cardiff show had already been cancelled following a petition by around 700 students who didn't want him to perform at the university. They said his act "trivialised rape and dehumanised women". Since then similar petitions about other tour dates have started to appear online. Twenty-year-old student Zara Lindsay was behind one of them. She told Newsbeat she didn't want Dapper Laughs performing on the University of Leicester campus. She said: "Lad culture is quite prevalent these days. It's especially bad on nights out with theme nights, drinking games and sports initiations. Plus there's a general feeling that sexual assault is something that you should just take on a night out. "Having people like Dapper Laughs holding gigs here suggests that this is an OK attitude and that sends out the wrong message." In another blow for the comic, a Swedish based clothing label Bjorn Borg announced they're ending their collaboration with him. They said: "Sexist jokes are not in line with what the company stands for." Yesterday ITV announced that they won't be making another series of the show Dapper Laughs: On the Pull after a video surfaced of him making offensive jokes at a live show.

Using animals as a source of organs for transplantation into humans was once one of medicine's next big things - a solution to transplant waiting lists. However, there have been problems with rejection - and recently stem cells have been grabbing the spotlight. But some researchers are now saying that transplants from animals "could soon become a reality", but not necessarily as originally expected. There is still a pressing need for organs. In the UK there are 8,000 people on the waiting list - three die every day. Several technologies are trying to meet the demand. In August, a patient from London was the first in the UK to have his heart replaced with a mechanical one while stem cells have been used for simple structures such as the windpipe. However, using stem cells to build more complicated organs such as a heart is a long way off and mechanical body parts are used in the short term before an actual transplant. Using animals as a source - known as "xenotransplantation" - is another potential solution. Pigs have been used as a source of heart valves, which control the flow of blood around the heart. Here the pig cells are chemically stripped away and when the remaining structure is transplanted, human cells grow around it. Stripping away the living material would not work for most transplants - nobody would want the heart that did not beat. However, that living material has a big problem, namely rejection. The human immune system attacks the pig tissue, which it recognises as foreign. Dr David Cooper from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Centre is one of a group of researchers arguing in the Lancet that the problems with organ rejection are being overcome. Some pigs - GTKO pigs - have been genetically modified. They no longer produce a pig protein, galactosyltransferase, which the immune system would have attacked. The authors say that this kind of rejection is "not the main cause of graft failure", however, "other issues have become more prominent". Problems such as damaging blood clots and inflammation will require further genetic modification. As a result they say that: "Overall, clinical pig organ xenotransplantation will probably not be undertaken in the next few years." While therapies are distant on the whole organ level, they believe researchers are getting closer to transplanting small numbers of cells. In patients with type 1 diabetes, the immune system attacks islet cells in the pancreas, which control sugar levels. Transplanting organs from animals fit uncomfortably into medicine. They are not the present, but neither are they necessarily the future. At the moment the best treatment for organ failure is generally a human organ transplant. With a shortage of available organs and long waiting lists in many countries, there is a need for another solution. Yet animal organs do not have a proven safety and effectiveness record so cannot meet the demand. In the very distant future, the attention is likely to move away from transplanting and towards growing your own. Doctors would like to use personalised stem cells to make replacement organs, which would match the body's tissue and have no chance of rejection. Animal organs would struggle to compete with that. What happens between now and then is still up for grabs. Animal organs do have considerable potential, but only if they can be proved safe, effective and if nothing better comes along first. Most people can manage the condition with insulin, but some have therapy to replace the lost cells. Around one in 500 patients with type 1 diabetes have unpredictable low sugar levels and only those are currently suitable for the treatment. However, in the UK there is a waiting time of up to 18 months and the number of cells which can be transplanted to each patient is limited. The authors argue that using pigs as a source for these cells is "much more encouraging", than using whole organ transplants. They write: "Because pig insulin was given to patients with diabetes for decades, and because a diabetic monkey survived for more than one year supported only by pig islets, clinical pig-islet xenotransplantation will almost certainly be physiologically successful." Clinical trials are underway in New Zealand to test that theory. Dr Martin Rutter, senior lecturer at the University of Manchester, said he was "interested, but cautious". He warned that: "It is still not clear whether it is an effective treatment or a safe treatment. "If it proves safe and effective it could be an amazing development." It has also been suggested that some cells in the brain could be transplanted to ease neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's or that pigs could be a source of corneas. "With regard to pig tissues and cells, as opposed to organs, it would seem that clinical xenotransplantation could soon become a reality," the researchers conclude. NHS Blood and Transplant said organs from animals had huge potential for the future to fill the gap between availability and demand, but there were "many complex issues still to overcome" and that there was "still a long way to go". It says until then, getting more people to donate organs would be the most successful strategy.

Matthew Bryce, 22, from Airdrie, was treated for hypothermia after he was found drifting on his surfboard in the North Channel on Monday 1 May. He praised the medical care he received at the Ulster Hospital in Dundonald, Belfast, as "second to none". And he described his experience as "particularly traumatic". Mr Bryce, who has said he will never surf again, was found by a search and rescue helicopter 13 miles from Northern Ireland and 16 miles from Argyll. He had set off from Westport beach in the Kintyre peninsula at about 11:00 on Sunday 30 April but the tides and winds carried him out to sea. He was eventually found at about 19:30 the following day. Last week, he told BBC Scotland's Jackie Bird how he believed he would not survive a second night in the water and had "made himself at peace". "I knew I wasn't going to make another night, so I was watching the sunset," he said. "Then a helicopter flew over me." Mr Bryce had jumped off his board and held it above him and started waving it. After thinking the helicopter had missed him, he said: "But then they turned round and when I saw them turn it was indescribable." "I can't describe it at all. "These guys were the most beautiful sight I had ever seen. I owe them my life." Before leaving hospital he thanked everyone involved in his treatment "for all the love, care and support shown to me through this particularly traumatic experience". He added: "To each and every one of you, thank-you very much." His parents John and Isabella also thanked the public for the many get well wishes sent to their son. And speaking about the hospital staff they said: "The staff here in the Ulster Hospital have been so thoughtful, kind and considerate, and this has helped make a traumatic experience for us much more bearable. "They helped turn a negative experience into a positive one." South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust said: "Matthew Bryce has made a remarkable recovery and has now been treated and discharged from the Ulster Hospital."

Joe McCloskey, 50, died in a blaze at the Gorteen House Hotel on Halloween night 2003. He died in a storeroom at the hotel, after the roof he was working on collapsed, dropping him into the flames below. He suffered burns to 95% of his body. Twelve years on and Northern Ireland's Attorney General has sent the McCloskey family a letter naming the former senior officer who he believes ordered Joe McCloskey on to the roof. The former senior officer named is James Quigg, as was reported in The Irish News on Wednesday. The Northern Ireland Fire Service did conduct an investigation after the death of the father of five. However, it failed to establish who gave the order to Mr McCloskey to go onto the roof. Nobody was ever disciplined over the incident. Attorney General John Larkin said in the letter: "Having carefully reviewed all of the evidence the Attorney General is of the firm view that Mr Quigg ordered Mr McCloskey and a colleague to go onto the roof." Culpability was not discussed in the letter. The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service agreed to pay "substantial damages" to the family. Mr Closkey's wife, Marie, told BBC Radio Foyle that a "big piece of the puzzle has been found". "I'll never forget the night I lost my Joe," Mrs McCloskey said. "A nurse told me the seriousness of Joe's injuries. Her words were that he wasn't going to do. "The fear in Joe's eyes, I will take to my grave. He spoke to me, I didn't get speaking to him. "He told me, he loved me. "The void in this house will never be replaced. There is an empty chair there and that empty chair will be there for the rest of my life. "The inquest and the fire service investigation only gave us more questions. We discovered that the finding from the report was that 10 minutes into the fire the building was already lost. "This letter and this name is all we ever wanted. It has closed another chapter for us. When we read the letter there were a lot of tears. "We finally have the answer to our question 13 years on." A spokesperson for the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service said: "We understand the continued loss and pain felt by the McCloskey family and Joe's death remains a tragic loss for NIFRS. "Over the years NIFRS has done everything that could be expected of us to address the family's concerns and queries in relation to Joe's death. "This included our own internal Fire Brigade and Fire Brigade's Union investigation and our full co-operation with the external investigations carried out by the PSNI and the Health & Safety Executive, as well as implementing the recommendations from the H&SE investigation, and we gave evidence at the Coroner's Inquest in 2007."

"No matter what I did, I always felt I was fighting a losing battle," he said. But Burgess said he had not been badly treated by England and refused to blame coach Stuart Lancaster. The 26-year-old, who joined Bath last October, re-signed for the South Sydney Rabbitohs last week. He was part of England's squad for the Rugby World Cup, in which they were eliminated at the group stage, and played in the hosts' crucial 28-25 defeat by Wales. Burgess said criticism directed at him following his performance in that match had contributed to his feeling of unease in rugby union. "A lot of people outside the England camp had an agenda against both England and, in some circumstances, me," he wrote in the Daily Mail. "This was an upsetting factor to me, that people who are supposed to love the game are actually tearing it to shreds. "Some ex-players just kept letting rip. It's almost like they don't want anyone else to do well in the jersey. I didn't want to stay in a sport like that." Burgess also said he had not found the 15-man code as enjoyable as rugby league. "I want to spend the rest of my career playing the game that's in my heart," said Burgess, who played 21 games for Bath as a blind-side flanker after switching codes last year. "What makes me love [rugby league] is the physical battle of it; I never found myself reaching that point [in union]. "My heart just isn't in [rugby union], and if my heart's not in it then [Bath and England] won't get the best performances from me." He said he was satisfied with his displays at the World Cup and believed coach Lancaster had been unfairly criticised after the team's early exit. Burgess, whose selection for the World Cup squad ahead of the established Luther Burrell reportedly caused disquiet in the England camp, said his decision to quit union had dismayed his international and club team-mates. "I wanted to go in and see [the Bath squad], but Stuart Hooper, our captain, said he didn't think I'd be well received there, which was fair enough," he said.

It said such policies offer "poor value for money". "Firms must start putting consumers first, and stop seeing them as pound signs," said Christopher Woolard, director of policy at the FCA. The insurance industry rejected the accusations, calling some of them unhelpful. Add-on insurance is where a policy is sold alongside another product. For example, customers buying a mobile phone, or a holiday, are often offered insurance at the same time. Nearly 3,000 consumers have complained about such policies in the past nine months. The FCA found that a quarter of customers buying them were unaware that they could get similar products elsewhere. And more than half of such customers did not compare the different policies available. The FCA judged add-on policies by their "claims ratio". This measures the proportion of the initial cost of a product that is eventually paid out under the policy. In the case of add-on personal accident insurance it found that the claims ratio was just 9%. In the case of Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) policies - often sold with cars - it found that just 10% of the full value was returned to claimants. In comparison, regular household or motor insurance policies paid out 64% of the original purchase price. As a result, the FCA said many consumers may be paying for policies which are poor value. But the industry said the claims ratio was not a good way of measuring performance. "The emphasis upon claims ratios is unhelpful; they are not an accurate benchmark of customer value, not least because they are affected by distribution costs for the insurer," said Hugh Savill, the director of regulation at the Association of British Insurers. The FCA is now proposing a number of changes, to protect consumers. These include: The FCA is now consulting on the proposals, and will accept comments up until 8 April, 2014.

Mogue Lawless, who was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder, won the Point of Light award for his work with people with mental health difficulties. Mr Lawless's project, Start Talking, also raised awareness of mental health issues among 2,000 young people. Every year one in four people in the UK experience mental health problems. Point of Light awards are given to recognise outstanding individual volunteers and people who are making a change in their community. Mr Lawless' projects included organising an exhibition of artwork created by students with mental health issues and engaging visitors in conversations about mental health. "Some people really engaged, and others didn't," he said. "It's the ones that didn't that I'm more drawn to. They don't view it as a problem, just something that's on the fringes. "They are the ones I really want to have the conversations with." A survey conducted by mental health charity, Mind, found that 17% of people in the UK have experienced thoughts of taking their own lives. Profits from the artwork sold is being used for a second exhibition, to showcase work of homeless young adults with mental health issues. Mr Lawless said: "It's important to collaborate with people who have a direct understanding of the problems, and use them to communicate and raise awareness." He was able to find support for his own condition through the NHS, but said: "For people who have compounded problems, like alcoholism, homelessness or drug addiction, the routes into support are long and arduous."

The victim, aged 32, was hit by the car at about 11:30 BST on Friday in the McDonald's car park at China Garden, on Derby Street, in Bolton. Police said he and friends were in a confrontation with another group. A man, 19, has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and both failing to stop and report a collision. Officers said  four people the victim had been arguing with left in two cars but no-one in the vehicles stopped. He is in a serious but stable condition in hospital. Greater Manchester Police is now investigating the circumstances leading up to the crash, including allegations of racist remarks made during the argument.  Officers are also analysing CCTV images. A spokesman for the force said they "were certainly investigating the possibility" that the car was deliberately driven at the victim.

Prison officers at HMP Grampian in Peterhead had earlier feared trouble after smelling "hooch" during a patrol. Six men deny conducting themselves in a "violent, riotous and tumultuous" manner and forming a mob of "evilly disposed persons". The incident at the jail is alleged to have happened in May 2014. On trial are Robert Gill, 26, from Newburgh in Aberdeenshire, Stephen Sim, 31, from Stonehaven, Michael Stewart, 31, from Forfar, 30-year-old Dominic Jordan, from Wirral in Merseyside, Sandy Mundie, 30, from Aberdeen, and 33-year-old George Thomson, also from Aberdeen. They are said to have acted aggressively with their faces masked while brandishing sticks and metal poles. The men are said to have culpable and recklessly thrown the objects from a height with no consideration of the consequences of where the objects would land or whether they would strike anyone. Prison officer Jordan Hodge told Aberdeen Sheriff Court that before the alleged riot there had been "general unrest" after some prisoners were placed in isolation following a disturbance. He said other inmates were aware of the situation and they believed the prisoners had been unfairly treated. Mr Hodge said he returned to work the following day and initially did not note anything unusual about the mood of the prisoners. But he told the jury that there was "quite a lot of hilarity" when he entered the C Section at the jail during the recreational period that night. Fiscal depute David Bernard asked: "I understand you noticed a smell of hooch or homemade alcohol?" Mr Hodge replied: "Yes, I did." Mr Bernard asked: "Homemade alcohol or hooch, is that something prisoners are permitted to have?" Mr Hodge replied: "No." The prison officer said he noticed that inmates had congregated in the left-hand side of the unit and there was music playing. The court heard that prison staff were evacuated from C Section of the Ellon Hall unit at 19:45 after another prisoner began shouting and swearing at staff. The fire alarm was activated and firefighters called in after smoke was detected. Three CCTV cameras were smashed with a wooden beam from a pool table by a separate prisoner, John Keand, who has since pled guilty to his involvement in the incident. Trained negotiators were then called in. In a joint minute read out to the jury, it emerged that the incident came to an end after prison officers stormed the cell block in riot gear at about 10:15 the following day. The document stated: "Each of the 34 cells within Ellon Hall, level 2, C Section was affected  in some way. "A few were minimally affected such as having writing on the walls, whilst other cells were significantly affected including extensive damage to various fixtures and fittings. "A quantity of homemade alcohol, in a variety of containers, was found in C Section." The trial continues.

Media playback is not supported on this device They eventually won 3-1 to move eighth - four points above 11th place. But asked whether Callum Booth's goal 15 minutes from time had started the nerves jangling, McGhee joked they had started long before that. "At 3-0 I'm nervous; the way we've been we're capable of anything," the Fir Park manager told BBC Scotland. "That includes losing three goals in the last 15 minutes so I was never comfortable." Media playback is not supported on this device McGhee had spoken before the match of the fine margins involved in winning and losing, with many of the teams in the Premiership well-matched in his view. "It's my turn today to stand here with the points and say my team did well and things went for us," he said after the game. "That is the nature of the league. Next week it'll probably be Partick Thistle. "We went and beat Dundee United - I felt comfortably - and they've then won their next two games. "The thing about this division is that we're all capable of winning and losing to each other. "We needed the three points and we went after it, we played three up front and two very attacking midfielders so we went out to win the game." Motherwell's victory lifts them above Thistle, who slip to ninth in the table, though they have three games in hand on most of their rivals. Nonetheless, Thistle manager Alan Archibald accepts they are still very much in the thick of the battle to avoid a relegation play-off. "We've always been in a battle to survive," he said. "I said yesterday we were three (points) from the top (six) and three from 11th place, so we're very much in it. "You need to put a good run together to get away from it. We've done that to get ourselves mid-table. With the games called off, we've sunk back down. "You see how quickly things change. We were eighth before the game and Motherwell have jumped ahead of us again and I think that's going to happen from now until the end of the season."

Edward Snowden, 29, checked out from his hotel on Monday and his whereabouts are unknown, but he is believed to be still in Hong Kong. Earlier, he said he had an "obligation to help free people from oppression". His leaks led to revelations that the US is systematically seizing vast amounts of phone and web data. The programme, known as Prism, is run by the US National Security Agency (NSA). The Office of the Director of National Intelligence gave details of the programme last week after Mr Snowden's leaks led to a series of articles in the Guardian and Washington Post newspapers. According to the office's statement, Prism is simply an internal computer system, and not a data-mining programme. Profile: Edward SnowdenCould Hong Kong shelter Snowden?Q&A: Prism and privacy However, such data seizures could break the laws of other countries, and could also break US law if they accidentally capture communications of US citizens. Hong Kong's broadcaster RTHK said Mr Snowden checked out of the Mira hotel in Kowloon on Monday, and Reuters news agency quoted hotel staff as saying that he had left at noon. Ewen MacAskill, one of the Guardian journalists who broke the story, told the BBC he believed Mr Snowden was still in Hong Kong. It is believed the US is pursuing a criminal investigation, but no extradition request has yet been filed. The Chinese territory has an extradition treaty with the US, although analysts say any attempts to bring Mr Snowden to America may take months and could be blocked by Beijing. A petition posted on the White House website calling for Mr Snowden's immediate pardon has gathered more than 30,000 signatures. World media fume However, an opinion poll commissioned by the Washington Post suggests a majority of Americans think government monitoring of phone records is acceptable if the aim is to fight terrorism. Mr Snowden's revelations have led to allegations that the UK's electronic surveillance agency, GCHQ, used the US system to spy on British citizens. Foreign Secretary William Hague cancelled a trip to Washington to address the UK parliament on Monday and deny the claims. The journalists involved in the story were first contacted by Mr Snowden at the start of the year. Filmmaker Laura Poitras told Salon Magazine how Mr Snowden sent her an email saying: "I want to get your encryption key and let's get on a secure channel. "I have some information in the intelligence community, and it won't be a waste of your time." Ms Poitras ultimately filmed the interview with two Guardian reporters. Mr Snowden told the journalists: "The NSA has built an infrastructure that allows it to intercept almost everything. With this capability, the vast majority of human communications are automatically ingested without targeting. "I don't want to live in a society that does these sort of things. I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded." Booz Allen Hamilton confirmed in a statement Mr Snowden had been an employee for less than three months. US leaks that shook the world What can you learn from phone records? Just how much do the spooks know? "If accurate, this action represents a grave violation of the code of conduct and core values of our firm," the statement said. The first of the leaks came out on Wednesday night, when the Guardian reported a US secret court had ordered phone company Verizon to hand over to the NSA millions of records on telephone call "metadata". The metadata include the numbers of both phones on a call, its duration, time, date and location (for mobiles, determined by which mobile signal towers relayed the call or text). Under the Prism system, officials apply to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Court (Fisa) to gain access to communications. Officials are obliged to show the Fisa court that any "target" is outside of the US, and there is a "foreign intelligence purpose" for the seizure, such as terrorism or nuclear proliferation. However, details of such targets and subsequent requests made to US technology companies are secret. On Thursday, the Washington Post and Guardian said the NSA tapped directly into the servers of nine internet firms including Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo to track online communication in a programme known as Prism. All the internet companies denied giving the US government "direct access" to their servers, and said they had never heard of the Prism programme. But in separate statements the firms variously said they complied with lawful requests to supply information on an individual basis. Prism was authorised under changes to US surveillance laws passed under President George W Bush, and renewed last year under Barack Obama. Mr Obama has defended the surveillance programmes, saying that nobody was listening to calls between American citizens.

Peter Rombough, 22, from Ditchingham, Norfolk, admitted travelling 93 miles to stalk Mrs Womack at her home in Bedfordshire twice last year. He was handed an eight-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, at Great Yarmouth Magistrates' Court. In a statement read out to the court, Mrs Womack said the events had left her feeling scared in her own home. She added: "These events have had a massive impact. "I can't stop thinking about it. He's a total stranger, but I'm concerned about his well-being and do hope he is okay and needs to seek some help." Following the discovery of Rombough outside her home in September 2014, the police and the BBC organised extra security, the court heard. He had been to look for her house four months earlier, but had been unable to find the property. During his later visit, he left Mrs Womack a letter in which he said he feared he "couldn't deal with the consequences" of her rejecting him. The court heard Rombough admitted he had an "unhealthy crush" on Mrs Womack which had first developed when he was 16. In mitigation, Nicola Burt told the court Rombough accepted his actions were wrong "and how they impacted the victim". Presiding magistrate Robin Hornby made Rombough the subject of a two-year restraining order and mental health programme. "We must disregard that this was a high profile victim," he said. "Stalking is stalking and it does not matter who it is. It is not a nice thing."

The advert for fast-food chain KFC aired in South Africa, where Fanning was attacked in a competition in July. In it, an actor who resembles Fanning surfs a wave holding a computer-generated shark over his head. Fanning's mother Elizabeth Osborne, who watched the attack unfold on live television, said it was disrespectful. "They've put a lookalike in the video. It really brings back a lot of trauma for everybody who has been attacked by a shark," she told Fairfax Media. "Some families have had fatalities and some people are still absolutely scarred without limbs. "It's disrespectful to them and Mick is not at all happy with that," Ms Osborne said. Ms Osborne also said the World Surf League (WSL), the sport's governing body, was considering legal action to have the campaign cut short. A WSL spokesperson declined to comment, according to the report. Fanning was competing at Jeffreys Bay, on the eastern Cape, during the final of the J-Bay Open when he was knocked off his surfboard and into the sea by a shark. The Australian punched and kicked the shark before being rescued by a lifeguard on a jet ski. Fanning, the defending champion, escaped injury. The tournament was called off soon afterwards. Ms Osborne has said it was "absolutely terrifying" to watch the attack unfold on live television. KFC South Africa has yet to make any comment, but its Australian counterpart sought to distance itself from the advert. A spokesman told Fairfax: "The advertisement has been produced in South Africa - KFC Australia is very sensitive to the situation in Australia and this is not the type of ad we would choose to show here."

The US stopped its contributions, which make up about a fifth of the agency's funding, when Unesco gave the Palestinians membership in 2011. Israel, which halted its dues at the same time, has also had its Unesco voting rights suspended. The US and Israel said admitting the Palestinians was a misguided attempt to bypass the Middle East peace process. Unesco's loss of $80m (Â£50m) a year in US funding has forced it to pare back American-led initiatives, including Holocaust education and a project to restore water facilities in Iraq. Paris-based Unesco is charged with designating World Heritage sites, promoting education and supporting press freedom, as well as countering extremism. The American ambassador to Unesco, David Killion, told Reuters news agency: "We intend to continue our engagement with Unesco in every possible way." The US, however, has said it cannot legally contribute to a UN agency that implies recognition of a Palestinian state. Israel's ambassador to Unesco, Nimrod Barkan, told the Associated Press news agency that his country supported the US decision, "objecting to the politicisation of Unesco, or any international organisation, with the accession of a non-existing country like Palestine". The Palestinian ambassador to Unesco, Elias Sanbar, said other countries were beginning to make up for the funding vacuum left by the US. But he added: "Is this in the interest of the US, to be replaced?" The US suspension comes amid attempts by Washington to broker peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. The talks have hit a stumbling block in the last week over the continued Israeli expansion of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Officials say this will be the first time a sitting president has been questioned by prosecutors. Ms Park is accused of allowing her friend, Choi Soon-sil, to manipulate power from behind the scenes. Hundreds of thousands rallied on Saturday to demand her resignation. South Korean news agency Yonhap quoted officials as saying Ms Park's questioning should take place no later than Wednesday. Prosecutors have also questioned top bosses at Samsung, Hyundai and Korean Air. Lee Jae-Yong, vice chairman of Samsung Electronics, was questioned over whether Ms Park pressured the company into donating millions to foundations controlled by her friend Ms Choi. Ms Choi is accused of trying to extort huge sums of money from South Korean companies and is under arrest on charges of fraud and abuse of power. She is suspected of using her friendship with Ms Park to solicit business donations for a non-profit fund she controlled. The president, whose approval ratings have plummeted to 5% because of the scandal, has said she is "heartbroken". On Saturday, organisers said some one million people encircled the presidential compound in the South Korean capital of Seoul, in the largest anti-government rally the country has seen. It was the latest in weeks of demonstrations against Ms Park. On Sunday, the presidential office said Ms Park was "earnestly considering ways to normalise state affairs" and that she had "heard the voices of the people at the rally". She apologised earlier in November for putting "too much faith in a personal relationship". "Sad thoughts trouble my sleep at night. I realise that whatever I do, it will be difficult to mend the hearts of the people, and then I feel a sense of shame.'" She said wrongdoing would be punished, and that she was prepared to be investigated by prosecutors. South Korea's constitution does not allow a sitting president to be prosecuted, but investigations are permissible. Ms Park has 15 months left in her term. If she steps down elections must be held within 60 days.

Iraqi activist Nadia Murad was awarded the Vaclav Havel Human Rights Prize by the Council of Europe. Miss Murad became the face of a campaign to free the Yazidi people and stop human trafficking after escaping IS in November 2014. The 23-year-old had been captured and enslaved three months earlier along with about 5,000 women and girls. During her months in captivity, she was bought and sold several times, and subjected to sexual and physical abuse at the hands of the jihadists. Miss Murad, who was named a United Nations goodwill ambassador in September, called for the creation of an international court to judge crimes committed by IS extremists in her acceptance speech in Strasbourg. She went on to brand IS's attack on the Yazidi a "genocide", adding:  "The free world is not reacting." The award, which honours outstanding civil society action in defence of human rights, comes with prize money of 60,000 euros (Â£54,250;$67,000).

Could it be DCI Roz Huntley's husband Nick? Or lawyer Jimmy Lakewell? There are plenty of other suspects in the mix. As the climax approaches, we caught up with series creator and writer Jed Mercurio to give him an AC-12 style interrogation. Is it true a sixth series is not confirmed? We definitely have a fifth, not a sixth... but we haven't started working on it yet. I need to think what the character is first. Did you instantly think of Thandie Newton for the role of DCI Roz Huntley or were other people in the running? It just evolved. I don't normally think of a specific actor, I concentrate on the character and then when we get into pre-production that's how names come up. I always knew Thandie was top talent, she was a real laugh on set. It was the easiest casting process I've ever been through. Did Thandie's status as a Hollywood star have an impact? We were flattered she wanted to do the role - most of her career she's been doing  Hollywood movies so it was a boost for the whole team. How do you come up with the plots for Line of Duty? I come up with the story ideas on my own. I like to sit at my desk... sometimes I get inspiration when I'm going about my normal day-to-day life. Then when I've come up with some sort of story, I get the editorial team on board and we try to develop it. I then write an outline of the first episode which takes about a week. Only when we are happy with the first episode do we start on the second. Can we expect any surprises for the final episode? (pauses, laughs) You will just have to watch! How do real-life police officers react to the plot? One of our intelligence advisers for the show said his team have been trying to crack who balaclava man is - it's quite funny. What would you like to explore in the next series? I want to look at the personal lives of all the regulars in series five - they've taken a backseat in this series to Roz Huntley, so it would be good to explore that side of things a bit more. The regulars are definitely up for doing more... that's if they survive the final episode! What's more important, ratings or awards? I always try and distinguish between facts and opinions. I am just pleased the show is being watched. Ratings are the most important thing. What advice do you have for budding crime series writers? Just write, write, write. Watch lots of shows and films in that genre. Read lots and think about story and characters. Are you tempted to write over in the US? I actually went over there for a while when my career was quiet over in the UK. I wrote pilots for shows over there for about five years. I like the differences between American and British television dramas. The final of Line of Duty is on BBC One on Sunday night at 9pm.

Standing next to his wife, Jani, at a press conference at the Idaho National Guard headquarters, Robert Bergdahl looked like a tribal elder - or as close as one can find in Boise. He wore a beaded necklace and had a long beard. It was trimmed in a style that is popular among Haqqani militants, a group who had reportedly held his son captive in Pakistan near the Afghanistan border. While his wife, Jani, spoke at the podium about their son, he tugged at his beard and fought back tears. "I'm proud of how much you wanted to help the Afghan people," Bergdahl said, addressing his son directly. He told the journalists in the room that central Idaho looks like Afghanistan, since both places have rugged mountains and harsh terrain. The land is beautiful and "heart-breaking", he said. "It makes you tough." For years his own toughness has been tested, as he watched Taliban-produced videos of his son. Then on Saturday, Bergdahl heard the good news directly from US President Barack Obama - his son was free. Kidnappings have become a distressingly common occurrence over the past several decades, used by militants to raise cash or to send a political message. Family members usually stay behind the scenes and hope that government officials, special forces or hired experts will help their loved ones. "Families are told to keep things quiet because you don't want to upset the process," says Marvin Weinbaum, a former Pakistan analyst for the US State Department. The kidnapping and release of Sgt Bergdahl has been marked by controversy, however, and by his father's forthright approach to the ordeal. According to media accounts, Sgt Bergdahl left his military outpost in Afghanistan in June 2009 and then was seized by Taliban militants. Some call him a deserter.  At this point, the full story of his kidnapping is not known. Years ago, a military official told me that he and others were trying hard to get Bergdahl released, but that they could only go so far in their efforts. "The US does not negotiate with kidnappers," he explained. In fact, US officials were trying in private to hammer out a deal with the Taliban. Negotiations over Bergdahl went on for years, leading to an exchange - him for five Taliban detainees held at Guantanamo, a decision that has led to criticism from Republicans. Source: James JF Forest's Global Trends in Kidnapping Even when kept under wraps, the discussions were delicate. Yet the father did not stay quiet. He spoke frequently with US officials - and with the Taliban, though indirectly. In a video released on YouTube in May 2011, he was shown in front of a mountain, thanking the Haqqanis and others "who have cared for our son". It was part of a bold, and sometimes bizarre, strategy to get his son back. "This man didn't play by the usual rules," says Mr Weinbaum. "Whether or not that actually brought about his son's release, you can't know for sure," he says. "But it certainly kept the sergeant at the forefront." Robert Bergdahl hardly fits the profile of a high-stakes negotiator. He is an unusual man even by mountain standards, a culture that celebrates those who live "off the grid". He lives at the end of a dirt road in Hailey (population 7,000), in a house crammed with books. For years he worked as a deliveryman for United Parcel Service. "He is personable," says his friend Sue Martin,  owner of Zaney's River Street Coffee House. Years ago she hired his son to make lattes. A photo of Sgt Bowe, clean-faced and serious in his army beret, now sits on the counter next to a jar of biscotti and a Magic 8 Ball, a toy that makes predictions. She says customers would pick up the Magic 8 Ball and all ask the same question. "It was always, 'When is Bowe coming home?', not, 'Is he?"' she says. "There's not been a doubt expressed." Today the town is filled with yellow balloons and signs that say "Bowe Is Free at Last". People here rallied behind Robert Bergdahl, even when he said provocative things. After his son was seized, Bergdahl dove into a study of Pashto and the politics of the militants. Last month he sent out a tweet directed to a Taliban leader saying he was "working to free all Guantanamo prisoners". He added: "God will repay for the death of every Afghan child." His friends have tried to empathise. "He's a dad," says Lance Stephensen, a member of a group called Boise Valley POW-MIA Corporation. Their motorcycles were parked outside the Idaho National Guard headquarters on Sunday. "Think of the pressure and stress." At the press conference Robert Bergdahl hinted at some of the struggles that he and others faced while they tried to get his son released. "You'll never know how complicated this was," he said at the press conference. Whether mistaken or not, Robert Bergdahl's rogue campaign ended well. He told journalists that his son would soon go from Landstuhl Medical Center in Germany to an army medical centre in Texas to help him adjust to the US. Then Bowe Bergdahl will head home.

This pointer takes the form of a nickel signature in the rocks of the crater that is now buried under ocean sediments in the Gulf of Mexico. An international team has just drilled into the 200km-wide depression. It hopes the investigation can help explain why the event 66 million years ago was so catastrophic. Seventy-five percent of all life, not just the dinosaurs, went extinct. The UK-US led team gave an update on its research here at the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco. The group is currently running all manner of lab tests on the hundreds of metres of core pulled up from under the Gulf in April and May. One tantalising revelation is that the scientists observe a big nickel spike in the sediments immediately above what has become known as Chicxulub Crater. This is an important marker that could lead on to the discovery of asteroid material itself. The presumed 15km-wide space object would have been vaporised in the impact. But some portion of it would have condensed into small spherules in the sky to then rain back down on the bowl. It should be stressed that the nickel is not in itself an identification of asteroid material. To have real confidence, the scientists would prefer to see the element iridium. This is extremely rare on Earth but is frequently associated with meteorites. Iridium is apparent in the geological layers around the globe that mark the dinosaur-killing event at the end of the Cretaceous Period, but to find it in the actual crater would be an exciting observation. It could result in further insights on the nature of the asteroid that smashed into Earth. One theory is that its metals could have made the environment toxic for many lifeforms. Four labs are currently testing for the presence of iridium. Prof Philippe Claeys from the Free University in Brussels says finding the Nickel is a very good sign. "Nickel behaves chemically in a way that is very similar to iridium; it loves to make strong chemical bonds with iron, just like iridium," he told BBC News. "So we treat nickel as what we call a proxy for an elevated concentration of iridium. If we see high nickel, it's very likely that we're going to have high iridium." Chicxulub Crater - The impact that changed life on Earth The project to drill into Chicxulub Crater was conducted by the European Consortium for Ocean Research Drilling (ECORD) as part of the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP). The expedition was also supported by the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP). Rock was recovered from more than 1,300m below the modern seafloor in the Gulf of Mexico. What has thrilled the team is the quality and abundance of material now in the labs. "Why this is a jackpot core is because we have an expanded section. We have an amount of material that turns into a resolution that allows us to ask lots of questions," said Prof Sean Gulick, the co-chief scientist from the University of Texas at Austin, US. "For example, if we do see iridium especially in dust, it's not just a tracer for the impactor, it could also tell us something about when this material left the atmosphere and things (the likely dark sky conditions following the impact) started clearing up." Prof Tim Bralower from Pennsylvania State University is studying the core rocks for the fossils of tiny organisms that lived in the seawater above the crater - from the immediate aftermath of the impact to millions of years hence. What sort of species are present and how they change up through the sediments should tell him something about how long it took for "normal conditions" to return. "It's unusual to see such a beautiful record of recovery in this exact location where the mass extinction originated. Basically, 'ground zero'," he said.

It refers to the amount the Pentagon spends on erectile dysfunction medication annually: about $84m (Â£63m), according to the Military Times newspaper. In contrast, the Rand Corporation think tank estimated last year that gender transition-related health care costs for transgender personnel would increase the military's active duty health budget by $8.4m per year at the most. But why does the US defence department spend so much on erectile dysfunction drugs? First, it is worth pointing out that the Military Times' February 2015 report based its figure on 2014 data from the Defense Health Agency. The spend of $84.2m was for that year, but the newspaper also reported that $294m had been spent on Viagra, Cialis and other such medications since 2011. It pointed out that this cost the equivalent of more than a few fighter jets. In 2014, some 1.18 million prescriptions were filled, mostly for Viagra. But who were they for? The answer goes some way in explaining the massive spend. It is true that some of the erectile dysfunction medication went to active-duty personnel. But the vast majority went to other groups eligible, including millions of military retirees and their family members. In fact, around 10 million people in total are estimated to be covered by the Pentagon's healthcare system, which cost $52bn in 2012. It is well known that erectile dysfunction is more common among older men - which would explain a hefty bill for retired service members. In fact, less than 10% of the prescriptions were for active duty personnel, according to the Military Times. Still, erectile dysfunction among those currently serving in the US military has been increasing since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan began. A 2014 study by the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Branch (AFHSB) found that 100,248 cases of erectile dysfunction were diagnosed among active service members between 2004 and 2013, with "annual incidence rates" more than doubling in that time period. Nearly half of all the cases were due to psychological causes, according to the study. A study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine in 2015 found that male veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were "significantly more likely than their civilian counterparts to report erectile dysfunction or other sexual problems", according to the US Department of Veterans Affairs. One study cited found that 85% of male combat veterans with PTSD report erectile dysfunction, nearly four times the rate among those returning from combat who are not diagnosed with a mental health disorder. In 2008, the Rand Corporation reported that one in five US veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were suffering from PTSD or major depression. However, a key statistic buried in the AFHSB study of active duty personnel between 2004 and 2013 suggests one should be cautious of reading too much into the links between America's recent wars, PTSD and erectile dysfunction in relation to the military's massive spend on Viagra. Personnel who had never been deployed were actually more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction than their counterparts who had been. Finally, erectile dysfunction is linked to common conditions, including heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. In 2007, it was estimated that the prevalence of erectile dysfunction among US men was 18%. In summary: it is a common condition, and the US military pays for the healthcare of millions of men, meaning it spends a lot on Viagra and other such drugs.

Part of the area at Llanberis in Gwynedd was home to a former RAF ammunitions store that was cleared in the 1970s. A report for the developers suggests some unexploded munitions could remain buried in the former quarry. But it said German nerve gas was removed and destroyed decades ago. The power company Snowdonia Pump Hydro (SPH) want to use the old Glyn Rhonwy quarry as the site of a 600 MWh pumped electricity storage facility. Those proposals are now being considered by the UK's Planning Inspectorate. However, opponents of the scheme in the area have concerns over possible contamination at the Glyn Rhonwy workings. The slate quarry was used as a secret munitions store during WW2, and later it was used to dispose of old and surplus bombs, bullets and grenades. Thousands of tonnes of weapons ended up in quarry pits there, prompting a massive RAF clean-up operation that only ended in the mid-1970s. The 'Concerned about Glyn Rhonwy' group said they believed that chemical weapons may have also been dumped or buried at the site.. A consultant's report confirmed that 70,000 German tabun nerve gas shells seized following WW2 were held at the Llanberis quarry for a short time. They were later moved to another facility near Caernarfon, and eventually dumped at sea. SPH commissioned consultants Zetica to examine issues surrounding unexploded munitions at the site, as part of the planning process. "Nobody takes this issue lightly," stressed a spokesman for the hydro power company. "We rely on the information in the Zetica report. It confirms that the German tabun bombs were held for a short time in a secure area at Glyn Rhonwy. There is no evidence that they were stored in any other area." The consultants stated that an official UK board of inquiry in the 1960s found "all German chemical weapons appeared to have been successfully removed from RAF Llanberis". But the Glyn Rhonwy campaigners have insisted that there can be no guarantees that every single tabun shell was removed. "We think there is at least one discarded tabun bomb on the site," said Jeff Taylor, from the campaign group. He said that was based on documents uncovered in an archive relating to the quarry, which showed images of tabun bombs in Germany, and what appears to be the case of a similar bomb lying in a slate rock crevice. "It is circumstantial evidence, but it is pretty damaging circumstantial evidence," argued Mr Taylor. Chemist Dr Dave Peskett, who has carried out research on the issue for the campaign group, said he had seen documents suggesting discarded mustard gas shells had also been dumped at the quarry in the past. The allegation is also disputed. But Dr Peskett added: "It is not just the munitions that are the issue here. There's a huge pile of toxic residue there. "Someone has to come in and remediate that site before any development takes place." The spokesman for SPH said tests had been carried out on water samples in the quarry in both 2012 and 2015, and no contamination was found. They added that "in the unlikely event" that unexploded ordnance was uncovered at Glyn Rhonwy, it would be dealt with in a "rigorous" process. "It will ensure the safety of the people and the environment," said the official. BBC Wales has asked the Ministry of Defence to respond to concerns surrounding the site. However, a freedom of information request for details regarding the German nerve gas at Llanberis by the Concerned group was rejected stating that "release of the information would enable ill-disposed persons or organisations to act against the national interest, and that therefore on balance the information should be withheld".

But as he plots to add a Test victory over the Lions to his unparalleled CV, Williams remains "humble as hell and one of the bros," according to his team-mates. On Wednesday, Williams lines up for the Blues against the British and Irish Lions, as the Auckland-based franchise look to launch a pre-emptive strike before the Test series. For Williams, a devout Muslim, the game comes in the middle of Ramadan, with the 31-year-old fasting for up to 10 hours a day. "We're lucky that we only fast for nine to 10 hours in this part of the world because of the daylight," says the 33-times capped All Black. "I find the fasting easiest with footy-based training, and I just push back the weights until I break the fast. The first week of fasting is the toughest and then after that you start to get used to it." Speaking to Williams and a number of his team-mates and friends, it is clear his religion underpins his character. The New Zealand Rugby Union recently allowed a "conscientious objection" to Williams wearing certain sponsors logos, as he objects to the marketing of banks, alcohol and gambling companies because of his beliefs. "He's really religious and he sticks by it. We support him wholeheartedly, and his choices off the field," says Blues number eight Steven Luatua, who is on his way to Bristol next season. "The way he stands up for his convictions and what he believes in, a lot of us could learn from that, and a lot of us feed off him. "I do believe religion really helps with the rigour and discipline of succeeding in sport. For a lot of us from religious backgrounds, we've got to this point because of our faith, because of our beliefs. "So for him to display that on an international stage, to display who he is, not change for anyone, I think that's all credit to him." Williams' dedication and commitment to his craft - whatever it may be - is a recurring theme, but his faith enables him to keep a balanced perspective on life, according to Blues wing Matt Duffie. "At times rugby players can get quite caught up in the rugby fishbowl," says Duffie. "But his experience, faith and family means he can keep things in perspective. That doesn't take away the fact he is out there trying to win everything, because he's very competitive, but [keeping perspective] is one of his great qualities." However, Williams remains the ultimate competitor, and after his Rio Olympics Sevens experience ended in long-term injury, he is on his way back to top form and fitness, and in the frame to start in the centres against the Lions come the Test series. "The one-percenters are eye-opening," says Blues full-back Michael Collins. "The way he looks after his body and does his prep and his homework, he's pretty diligent in all he does." "Off the field he's real professional and the boys feed off that," says Luatua. "At the same time he's approachable and easy to talk to, and I think that's made his transitions between clubs and sports real easy. All round he's just a good dude." His head coach Tana Umaga will testify to that, after Williams moved to defuse news conference talk of the infamous spear tackle that ended Brian O'Driscoll's tour the last time the Lions were in New Zealand in 2005. But, as prop Charlie Faumuina, explains, Williams has a mischievous side. This content will not work on your device, please check Javascript and cookies are enabled or update your browser "He's a bit of a trouble maker," Faumuina says. "We've got a thing where if you lose things they get auctioned off, but Sonny Bill tries to steal things to get them auctioned off. I lost my tickets that I got handed to me just today, and I've had to pay 100 bucks to get them back. He must have handed them in to the auctioneer. I just left them there to get a drink of water and I came back and they were gone." Faumuina is one of eight New Zealand internationals in the Blues starting XV on Wednesday evening, but all eyes will be on Williams. It's something his team-mates are used to, but don't begrudge. "Around here it's all about Sonny," adds another of the All Blacks, scrum-half Augustine Pulu. "But he's a good man, bro. I think that's why it's so easy. He's just a caring person."

For Senegal it was a tale of double disappointment having lost the 2015 final on home soil against Nigeria. There had been fears that Zambia, who had looked impressive all tournament, may crack under the weight of expectation but the junior Chipolopolo held their cool to go into the break leading 2-0. Senegalese goalkeeper Lamine Sarr made two horrendous errors that a merciless Zambian frontline punished him for. The two sides had been sizing each other up in the opening minutes with Senegal having the first sight of goal when Ibrahima Niane's tame shot was easily picked up by Mangani Banda in the seventh minute. Zambia roared to life in the 14th minute when Fashion Sakala controlled the ball in the box but his ferociously struck shot went wide. Three minutes later Sakala was back on the by-line to tease the ball into the box with Sarr spilling it into the path of a grateful Patson Daka (pictured) whose predatory instincts came to life, toeing home. Senegal were not deterred and continued to pressure the Zambians with Niane forcing Shemmy Mayembe to trip him in the 28th minute, but the Senegalese fluffed the resulting set piece. Zambia were back on the attack when Sarr misjudged the ball, gifting an on-rushing Edward Chilufya a glorious opportunity for the hosts' second goal in the 35th minute. Senegal came pushing in the second half with second half substitute Ibrahima Ndiaye booked for throwing a suspicious substance into the Zambian goal. Referee Thierry Nkurunzinza yellow carded Ndiaye as tempers flared with the crowd booing Senegal. That spurred on Senegal with Aliou Badji almost getting a breakthrough but his powerfully struck effort in the 67th minute went wide. The match was turning into a battle between Zambia's keeper Mangani Banda and the Senegalese duo of Ndiaye and Badji. Banda was duly named man-of-the-match for his game-saving heroics between the sticks. In the earlier match Guinea came from behind to beat South Africa 2-1 and earn bronze. The top four teams at the tournament qualified for the Fifa World Cup and will await the draws on 15 March in South Korea.

In the first, a Citation jet with two people on board was involved in an alert at about 13:15. It landed safely. Shortly afterwards at 13:54 police and fire crews were called back to the airport after the pilot of a small plane reported an engine problem. Police said the pilot was able to resolve the problem and had flown to Kinloss or Lossiemouth in Moray. Inverness Airport said the crew of the Citation jet had reported a technical fault as it approached. However, it landed safely and taxied to the stand as normal. "As a precaution, and in line with standard procedures, the airport fire service and other emergency service personnel were called to the scene but were not required," added the airport. The incidents come days after a full emergency was declared at the airport after an aircraft reported a bird strike after taking off. The mail flight from Inverness to Stornoway was forced to turn back after the incident last Friday morning. The Loganair aircraft, with a pilot and co-pilot on board, landed safely a short time later.
