It will also be a significant challenge for Baroness Ashton as she seeks to build on recent foreign policy successes to broach critical issues ranging from human rights to Tehran's role in regional conflicts including Syria. On Saturday morning Iranian newspapers, of a more reformist leaning, welcomed her mission, hailing it as an achievement of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's new approach. Coverage of her visit, across moderate and hardline media, will underline both the centrality and sensitivity of her role here. Mrs Ashton has been widely credited with playing a key role in negotiating the landmark interim deal between Iran and world powers last November, which requires Tehran to curb its nuclear programme in exchange for limited relief from sanctions. Nuclear issues are certain to come up in her meetings since wide gaps still stand in the way of a long-term agreement meant to come into force in July when the interim accord expires. But the first visit of a senior EU leader since 2008 is primarily a bilateral visit aimed at exploring the potential for a new relationship between Iran and Europe. "She knows that Iran is about more than the smiling Foreign Minister Javad Zarif with whom she has forged a good working relationship," said one Western diplomat. Mrs Ashton will need to muster all her diplomatic skills, including what is often called her "softly-softly bridge-building" approach. Her challenge is to chart a new course between Iran's political factions, as well as European states, which also remain divided over how far and fast this relationship can and should go when mistrust still runs deep, on all sides. It is understood she is coming to Iran, mainly to listen. But she is expected to urge one of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's main allies to play a more active role in ending a devastating conflict. Iranian and European human rights groups have also been lobbying Mrs Ashton to express concern on issues like Iran's use of the death penalty which led to about 500 hangings last year, mainly for drug offences. Her visit begins on Saturday evening with a meeting with civil society leaders and ends on Monday with a visit to the city of Isfahan, famed for its  stunning Islamic architecture. Sunday will be spent meeting leaders from across the political spectrum including President Rouhani and his most senior foreign policy and security advisers. There is vast potential to strengthen the Iran-Europe axis in areas ranging from aid, education, the environment, anti-piracy efforts and technology. But it can only be tapped if there is real and lasting progress on what is still the central issue for the West - the nuclear file. Western diplomats say much has been achieved but there is still "a long way to go" to ease doubts that Iran's nuclear programme is entirely for peaceful purposes. Iranian leaders say suspicion of the West's intentions are also deep-rooted. Mrs Ashton's visit is meant to send a message to Tehran that there is a lot to gain if they stay the course in building a new relationship with the international community. As one Western diplomat put it, it must show it does want "to play a greater role in the world, not against the world".

Question: The difficult and delicate @placeholder of forging a new relationship between Iran and the West takes another step this weekend with the first visit of Europe 's foreign policy chief , Catherine Ashton , to the Islamic Republic .


Michael Gething, 42, died near the Methodist Church in Totnes. It is believed he died of hypothermia. Mr Gething is thought to have been living in the town for about 18 months. South Hams District Council said it would be assessing whether any premises in Totnes might be suitable for a shelter or hostel. Local undertaker Rupert Callender, who arranged the funeral, said: "I hope people might put their judgements aside about what life on the streets is like, and what people who live on the streets are like. "I hope they can see that they are ordinary people who have fallen on hard times." Jonathan Taylor, who took part in the funeral proceedings, said: "There is a sense that this is a really important community event." Melissa Worsley, who lives in Totnes, said people such as Mr Gething "are part of the community and we should look after them". She added: "If they can't cope with society they still have the right to be looked after." Earlier in the week Graham Walker, who used to be homeless in the area, slept out for 48 hours to raise funds towards Mr Gething's funeral. Mr Walker said: "He died on the street. I think that, as a community, we should be aware of that fact and acknowledge it, and do something about it." South Hams Council said it was saddened by the death of Mr Gething, adding he had been offered advice, assistance and accommodation on several occasions. It added: "Unfortunately, accommodation is not always available in Totnes and sometimes it may be offered in nearby towns. "A place was offered to Mr Gething in a supported accommodation unit in Dartmouth, known as St Barnabas, but he did not take up the place." The council added that, in the event of severe weather, it had an emergency protocol in place which sought to ensure people living on the streets were offered help and accommodation.

Dr Amit Singh told a Colwyn Bay Town Council meeting that the number of GPs at his Penrhyn Bay surgery had fallen from five to two. Dr Bryn Roberts at Cadwgan Surgery in Old Colwyn said the system was at "breaking point". Betsi Cadwaladr health board said it provided guidance and support to all GP practices in north Wales. Dr Roberts's colleague, Dr Dylan Parry, warned that because of pressure and overwork, some GPs were leaving the profession when they were only in their 40s. Figures released in February showed Betsi Cadwaladr health board had a 14% vacancy rate for doctors, joint second highest among Wales' seven health boards. A health board spokesman said it had offered to attend the council meeting, but the town council had preferred to hear directly from doctors. He added: "Where specific concerns are raised, these are considered with the practices and actions agreed. "This has included providing support through additional services that will help to alleviate pressures being experienced and support with improvement to premises."

At the top of the North Wales UKIP list, and one of the new AMs elected, was Welsh leader Nathan Gill, who is currently a member of the European Parliament. But a vacancy is set to appear after Mr Gill made it clear he wants to stand down from the European role - with suggestions he'll resign after the referendum. And because of the rules that govern MEPs, his replacement could be one of the other UKIP members elected as AMs. And if they do not want to head to Brussels, a by-election could be on the cards. If an MEP resigns, a whole set of regulations kick in to find a replacement. For the European elections, parties submit lists of names. UKIP got one Welsh MEP in May 2014 and so the number one on the list, Mr Gill, was elected. Under the rules, the returning officer for the Wales region - currently the chief executive of Pembrokeshire council - would need to get in touch with the second person on the list and ask if they want to take up the position. If that person cannot or does not want to do it, they can go to number three on the list and offer the position to them. It is similar to what happens in the assembly if a sitting regional AM stands down - the next on the party list gets first refusal on whether they would like to take up the vacant post. UKIP put forward four people for the 2014 European election when Nathan Gill was elected. The first person that the returning officer could go to is James Cole, but he has left the party. That would leave the choice to the third person on the list - Caroline Jones. If she did not want the position, it could then be left to David Rowlands, 2014's UKIP number four. Both were elected as AMs on 6 May. There appear to be no rules stopping an assembly member from being an MEP, but practicalities of travel may make it unrealistic and appear to be part of why Mr Gill has decided he does not want to do it. It is unclear whether either Mr Rowlands or Ms Jones wants the role. If either took it up, and decided to leave the assembly, the process by which regional list AMs are replaced would then come into play. Susan Boucher was next on the list for South Wales East after Mr Rowlands, while Martyn Ford followed Ms Jones in South Wales West. A senior UKIP source said: "We've got a list of two people - one of those two is going to have to decide whether they would go to Brussels or stay." "I imagine one of those two would take it." If the process of trying to fill the vacancy by asking the remaining list candidates if they want the job fails, the UK government could call a by-election for the role. Pembrokeshire council, which handled the European election in 2014, said UKIP only submitted four names for the poll, the maximum parties were allowed to submit. But the senior UKIP source said that, although confident the party might win such a poll, it would not want that expense placed on the public purse.

At least 17 local councils will have these 2,000-plus pupil schools, the Times Educational Supplement found from Freedom of Information requests. The schools are planned for both urban and rural areas, when pupil numbers reach a peak in the next few years. The government said larger schools could produce very good results. Schools minister Nick Gibb told the TES: "If you look at Shanghai, their schools are very large and they produce some very high standards of education." One of Shanghai's top state schools, Shanghai High, has more than 3,000 pupils. But Mr Gibb added: "The danger of creating schools too large is they may struggle to attract parents." The increasing size of England's schools in areas of high population pressure is not a new phenomenon. Last year, there were 8.3 million pupils enrolled in schools - up by 1% on January 2013. What this new data does tell us is how hard that increase, due to a rising birth rate - partly fuelled by past immigration, will hit secondary schools in the next few years. The children who were in the beginning of the primary population bulge, in the early years of this decade, will soon be graduating to secondary school. But the tight financial climate means councils simply do not have the cash to build lots of new smaller schools. And limits to councils' ability to plan and build schools, because of the academy and free school programme, mean many have no choice but to add extra forms of entry to already existing institutions. Some say that larger schools are better because they can offer a broader range of subjects. But others fear children graduating from primary school will feel swamped by the switch to a 2,000-plus pupil institution. He added that expansion must be balanced with whether the schools could be confident they could maintain good behaviour and good academic standards. Last month, it was reported that a 16-form entry school was being planned by Barking and Dagenham Council in east London to cope with a dramatic rise in pupil numbers. The new figures show schools are being planned all over the country, as councils try to find more than 80,000 extra secondary places which they say will be needed in the next four years. The rise in demand comes as a population bulge that sparked a shortage of primary school places is set to move to secondary schools in some areas. Exmouth Community College in Devon is set to be one of the largest schools, with 2,860 students and 15 forms of entry on one campus by 2018. At present it has 2,400 students. Head teacher Tony Alexander said the school had 163 full-time equivalent teachers, two staffrooms and four restaurant areas. Barking and Dagenham - one 16-form entry school planned Devon - one 15-form entry school planned Southampton, Nottinghamshire, Central Bedfordshire, Croydon and Birmingham planning schools with 13 forms of entry or more Warwickshire, Rotherham, East Riding of Yorkshire, Newcastle, Northumberland, Staffordshire and Brighton and Hove are planning schools with 12 forms of entry or more. "Although there are some disadvantages to being such a large school, the advantages outweigh them," he said. "We are able to provide a broad curriculum that other schools could not afford. And we have a wide range of children with different qualities and different attributes, which can only be good. "The main disadvantage is that, as a head, I can't know all the children individually." Walton High in Milton Keynes is set to expand to 16 forms of entry and 3,000 pupils over two sites. And Bitterne Park School in Southampton plans to have up to 13 forms of entry by September 2017. Head teacher Susan Trigger said the new school building would be "one of the largest in the country". Malcolm Trobe, deputy general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said school expansion did not tend to affect standards.

The concerns emerged from the initial findings of a review by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) which began in December. The CMA has now opened a case owing to fears that there could be breaches in consumer law. There are more than 400,000 people in care and nursing homes in the UK. Elderly care proved to be a significant area of debate during the recent election campaign. Some of the other issues raised during the first stage of the inquiry included: "Some of the most vulnerable people in our society use care homes, often moving to them under extremely difficult circumstances. It is therefore essential they are able to make informed choices, understand how services will be paid for, and be confident they will be fairly treated and able to complain effectively if they have any concerns," said the CMA's acting chief executive, Andrea Coscelli. "Demand for care home places is expected to surge over the next two decades. To make sure the additional capacity this requires is available, it needs to be built in good time. At present, short-term funding pressures and uncertainty mean that the sector is not attracting investment. We will be focusing on finding ways to deal with these, and other concerns identified." Citizens Advice chief executive Gillian Guy said: "Older people and their families are suffering unnecessary distress and financial pressure due to gaps in consumer protection in the care home market. "The CMA is right to look at consumer protections and should seek to strengthen these where existing rules are not providing the right cover, including the notice period for fee increases and protections for people's deposits."

That's because it's World Book Day and kids (and adults) are dressing up as their favourite characters. And, if you've been on Twitter, you'll realise that it's the UK's top trend #WorldBookDay. So let's take a look at how your favourite authors are celebrating World Book Day on social media. It's not surprising that the most followed children's author on Twitter is JK Rowling - especially when she posts messages of dogs in wizard costumes. This World Book Day she's been sharing some of her favourite images of kids dressing up as Harry Potter characters - including a mini-Hagrid. Not content with celebrating World Book Day from the comfort of his sofa, David Walliams is flying across the country as part of #WalliamsWhirlwind. So far he's been to schools in Buckinghamshire and Bristol. He's got a solid fan base who have been putting in some pretty good efforts when it comes to dressing up as characters he has devised. Neil Gaiman has been retweeting some of them, including a Doctor Who based on the cover of the volume Gaiman wrote. 1 - JK Rowling: @jk_rowling - 4.29m followers 2 - John Green: @johngreen - 4.28m followers 3 - Neil Gaiman: @neilhimself - 2.18m followers 4 - David Walliams: @davidwalliams - 1.4m followers 5 - Michael Rosen: @MichaelRosenYes  - 62,000 followers 6 - Anthony Horowitz: @AnthonyHorowitz - 40,600 followers 7 - Oliver Jeffers: - @OliverJeffers - 25,300 followers 8 - Malorie Blackman: @malorieblackman - 18,000 followers 9 - Eoin Colfer: @eoincolfer - 17,700 followers 10 - RJ Palacio: @RJPalacio - 10,800 followers Source: Twitter, based on the top 100 bestselling children's authors according to The Sunday Times When she spoke to Newsbeat about World Book Day, she shared some pretty inspirational thoughts about why books matter.

You might be forgiven for thinking that, because of the name - World Book Day - it's celebrated across the globe. But actually authors in the other parts of the world mark it in April. We've included John Green here because he is, after all, massive on Twitter - and he really loves his fans. Hmmmm, so the poet and broadcaster hasn't perhaps made the best effort with his own costume for World Book Day.

Greybull Capital has bought the airline from the Mantegazza family which has owned it since the 1960s. More than 90% of unionised staff voted to accept the changes. Two-thirds of the redundancies will be voluntary. The fleet will be reduced from 42 aircraft to 34, and long-haul and charter flying will end by April. The network will specialise in Monarch's scheduled short-haul European leisure routes. Jim McAuslan, general secretary of the British Airline Pilots' Association, said: "Monarch's continuing presence in the marketplace is good for customers so this new investment is welcome." He added it was "in no small part due to the painful sacrifices made by pilots and other staff, who have accepted redundancies and a substantial cut in pay and conditions to help secure jobs." Speaking on behalf of the family, Fabio Mantegazza said: "We are very proud to have created one of the most loved aviation brands in the UK over the last 46 years. "We think that now is an appropriate time to allow new shareholders to take Monarch into the future with secure financial backing and clear strategic goals."

Georgia Williams was strangled in a sexually motivated attack by Jamie Reynolds in Shropshire last May. He was cautioned by West Mercia Police after trying to strangle another teenage girl in 2008, but not charged. Georgia's mother Lynette called on the watchdog to mount a full investigation. She said she believed her daughter could still be alive if police had been more thorough during their earlier dealings with Reynolds. The IPCC said it felt the public interest was best served by West Mercia Police investigating the complaint. If the family had concerns with the outcome, an appeal could then be made to the IPCC, it said. The force referred its handling of previous incidents involving Reynolds, 23, to the IPCC in January "with the strong recommendation that an investigation be carried out". But this month the IPCC - which can mount its own investigation, order an internal case or call on a different police force to investigate - referred the complaint back for it to be handled internally. Reynolds, branded a "sexual deviant" by a judge, lured Georgia back to his home in Wellington, Shropshire, before he committed her "carefully planned" murder. In December, a court was told at the time of his arrest, he had 16,800 images and 72 videos of extreme pornography on his computer. Ordering Reynolds to spend the rest of his life in jail, Mr Justice Wilkie said he accepted a psychiatric assessment of him that found he "had the potential to progressing to become a serial killer". Mrs Williams, whose husband Steven is a detective with West Mercia Police, said officers should have realised Reynolds was dangerous after he attacked his first victim. She said: "In 2008, Reynolds mirrored an attack basically that he committed on Georgia in that, he lured a girl round on the pretext of helping him out with a project and then there was a violent attack where he attempted to strangle her. "Thankfully, she managed to escape, but it has traumatised her and it has totally changed her life." Both Georgia's family and Reynolds's earlier victim lodged complaints with West Mercia Police over its "poor" handling of the incident, Mrs Williams said. She said: "As parents, we feel that had it been investigated properly, we wouldn't be in this situation. "I did get very angry with the police because I felt that if they had dealt with it properly in 2008 everyone would have known about his past, they would have known what he was like with girls. "Obviously, I wouldn't have let Georgia anywhere near him. "The young girl that was attacked has put in a complaint as she feels she wasn't dealt with properly at that time and ever since - she was interviewed initially, then that was it she had no other contact with the police. "His [Reynolds] stepdad did actually go up with more evidence, some photographic evidence that he had found on his computer, and that was presented to the police and that was never acted upon." The photos were of two girls with nooses superimposed around their necks and a photograph depicting pornographic scenes of a man raping, strangling and killing a girl, she said. Mrs Williams said photos of Georgia's older sister Scarlett were also found on his hard drives. Mrs Williams said: "I want the police to change how they view these attacks, I want police officers investigated properly, which is why I want the IPCC to do it, not another force." IPCC commissioner Derrick Campbell said he had given the complaint "careful consideration". "I have decided that the public interest is best served by West Mercia Police demonstrating that they are capable of conducting an open, fair and transparent investigation into this matter," Mr Campbell said. If the force's investigation identified any misconduct "one would expect suitable action to be taken," he added. "Following a local investigation the complainants will, if dissatisfied with the investigation, have a right of appeal to the IPCC and if necessary the IPCC will be able to direct further investigation," Mr Campbell said. West Mercia Police said it was deciding how best to proceed with its own investigation. "We take the concerns around these previous incidents very seriously and following the outcome of our referral to the IPCC we are reviewing their recommendation and how this investigation will progress," a spokesman said. A separate independent review is also being conducted into various agencies' involvement with Reynolds before the murder.

Jane Wedlake, 54, suffered severe brain injuries after falling on to a hallway at the block of flats where she lived in November 2014. She never regained consciousness and died in hospital 12 days later. Cardiff Coroner's Court heard there were no warning signs in the St Mary Street property and residents could access the fourth floor atrium. Jury members heard the whole building "shook" as she fell. Ms Wedlake's partner Greg Capron said she may have been on the roof to retrieve washing that had fallen on to a glass roof. He said losing his partner was "the worst thing that has ever happened in my life" and said he was left "totally traumatised". Despite having keys to an access window, the inquest heard tenants were not supposed to enter the roof space of the flats owned by Cardiff Community Housing Association. Officials said contractors only were supposed to use it. Since Ms Wedlake's death, the window has been boarded up and large warning signs erected. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death.

The Pakistan and Afghan Taliban movements, al-Qaeda and less well-known militant outfits such as the Haqqani Network used the area to hold hostages, train militants, store weapons and deploy suicide bombers to attack targets in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. Today the militants have gone. Virtually the whole of North Waziristan is in Pakistani army hands. The army believes the defeat of the militants was one of the most successful anti-jihadist campaigns the world has yet seen. In two years of fighting the army lost 872 men and believes it killed over 2,000 militants. "Before 2014 North Waziristan was a hub of terrorist activities," said General Hassan Azhar Hayat, who commands 30,000 men in North Waziristan. After the army moved in "those who resisted were fought in these areasa€| the complete agency was cleared". But many militants managed to escape, slipping across the border to eastern Afghanistan to fight another day. Many are now operating there with impunity, some helping the Afghan Taliban in its battle against the government in Kabul while others attack targets in Pakistan. The latest group to establish itself in the area is Islamic State, although the degree of control exercised by Iraq-based Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi over his supporters in Afghanistan is unclear. When the jihadists fled North Waziristan they left behind the apparatus that had helped keep their movement in power. Pakistani army officers today jokingly refer to one village, that was home to many senior militant commanders, as the Taliban's Pentagon, and they describe another where militants were trained as the Taliban Sandhurst. As they moved across North Waziristan, the army found prisons, a media centre hidden under a mosque, bomb-proof tunnels and a huge roadside bomb factory. With hundreds of bags of fertiliser and large blue plastic vats filled with foaming chemicals, the facility turned out thousands of bombs that were used all over Pakistan and Afghanistan. The closure of the roadside bomb factory, and others like it, has made a difference. Last year there were 441 violent jihadist attacks in Pakistan. That compares with 2,586 attacks in 2009. Across North Waziristan as a whole the army found 310 tons of explosives and more than two million rounds of ammunition. For many years, when it was accused of offering sanctuaries to the Afghan Taliban, Islamabad used to argue that it was unable to prevent militants moving into Afghanistan to launch attacks. It was impossible, Islamabad said, to control such a long, remote and porous border over which villagers with relatives in both countries moved freely. But now it is faced with the mirror situation - Afghan-based militants carrying out attacks in Pakistan and the army trying to control the border.  The army says more than 1,000 forts have been built and sophisticated American radar equipment installed to monitor cross border movements. The situation at the border is complicated by the fact that, while Pakistan considers it to be a legitimate international border, Afghanistan has never accepted it as such. The battle for North Waziristan - like those for Mosul and Aleppo - has left widespread destruction. Many homes have been reduced to rubble. There are whole villages where no building has a roof on it. "When we came back we faced the problem of no electricity and water," said Saifur Rahman, who spent several months living in the nearby town of Bannu during the worst of the fighting between the army and the militants. But he had been determined to return. "This is our land. We love it and I don't care if the facilities aren't there. I will still come back." The army is now building infrastructure to tempt people to return. As well as new roads, there are brand new schools with facilities that rival anything on offer elsewhere in Pakistan. One of the recently constructed and very well equipped schools just outside Miranshah is currently completely empty but has places for 1,000 children when the families decide to return. Jihadist violence is not over in Pakistan. The state is not moving against some of the militant groups that concentrate their activities in Kashmir, Afghanistan and India. And Afghan-based militants from the Pakistani Taliban and other groups remain a potent force. A recent attack on a Sufi shrine in the province of Sindh killed over 80 people. Police in Karachi say they believe the attack was organised by Afghan-based militants. But for all their latent power, the militants in North Waziristan have been repulsed from their stronghold and the tribesmen are gradually returning to resume lives disrupted by conflict.

A family member of one of the students, Alexander Mora, confirmed that the remains identified were his. The relative said the family had received the information from a team of forensic experts. The students were allegedly seized by local police in the town of Iguala in September and given to a criminal gang. Prosecutors say the gang killed them and burned their bodies at a rubbish dump near the town of Cocula before scattered their ashes in a river. The students' disappearance has triggered widespread protests across Mexico against corruption and violence. Another demonstration was held on Saturday in Mexico City at which parents of students spoke about the identification. "If [the government] thinks that, because one of our boys' DNA was identified, we will sit and cry, we want to tell them that they're wrong," Felipe de la Cruz, father of a missing student, told the crowd. "We will keep fighting until we find the other 42." The unrest has seen President Enrique Pena Nieto's popularity rating drop to its lowest point since he took office two years ago. In response, he has submitted a package of reforms to Congress that include replacing all 1,800 municipal police forces with state-level units. The students had travelled from a teacher training college in Ayotzinapa to Iguala to protest against what they said were discriminatory employment practices for teachers which favour urban students over rural ones. Police opened fire on the students, who were in buses travelling back from Iguala to their college. Three of them were killed and three more people in nearby vehicles also died. A busload of the students tried to flee but were chased by municipal officers who then took them to the local police station. Some of the officers, who have since been arrested, told investigators they then handed the students over to a drug gang called Guerreros Unidos (United Warriors). Iguala Mayor Jose Luis Abarca and his wife, Maria de los Angeles Pineda were arrested in the beginning of November in Mexico City. Mexican officials accused Mr Abarca of ordering police to confront the students to prevent them from disrupting a public speech given by his wife. More than 70 other people have been arrested in connection with the disappearances.

One witness described "screaming women looking for their children" while another said it felt like "being on a ship passing through a storm". Many of those killed were in Accumoli, close to the epicentre, and in Amatrice, which was largely reduced to rubble by the magnitude 6.2 earthquake which struck the centre of the country. I am from Leonessa, which is about 12km [7.5 miles] from one of the worst affected areas, Accumoli. This morning, I was awoken by the earthquake, which was very strong. I got in my car and drove to Accumoli to see if I could help, as I knew it would be very bad. I arrived in Accumoli, and it was a very shocking scene. All the houses had collapsed. I saw dead bodies lying in the street, and there were injured people walking around with blood on their legs and the rest of their bodies. There were screaming women looking for their husbands and children. There were neighbours coming down on to the street trying to help. Rescue teams arrived very quickly by helicopter and told me and others trying to help to stand back. They told us to come back with blankets and supplies, which I am doing. I might give blood this afternoon if needed. The whole situation was very confusing and distressing. I am a freelance photographer from Monteleone Sabino in Rieti. Early this morning, after the earthquake struck, I drove for about two hours and reached Amatrice at 0500. I immediately found myself confronted by dramatic scenes. The town is completely devastated. There is no electricity and no phones are working. It looked like there had been a bombing. Around 95% of the houses had collapsed. I spoke with 10 people who looked completely shocked. Most of them had lost someone. There are so many destroyed houses that I'm afraid they won't find many survivors. I'm staying with my husband and two small children in a hillside campsite north of Norcia. About 03:30, the cabin we're staying in started shaking. It was very disorientating and scary being woken in pitch darkness by the ground violently shaking and people screaming. We thought we were sliding down the hillside to begin with. I've never seen so many people wandering around a campsite in the early hours. My children are quite shaken up, but we're safe here thankfully, although we keep feeling aftershocks. My heart goes out to those who are just a few kilometres down the road. We are going to venture out and see if we can give blood, as there is an appeal for people to do so. My husband and I have experienced an earthquake in Bali and aftershocks across Asia before, but this was the worst by far that we've experienced. I am currently living in Campello sul Clitunno, a small village about a 30-minute drive from the epicentre. After the first strong quake, at 03:30, the Earth beneath me felt as if it was in constant movement for at least another hour. I ran outside out of fear the house could collapse. My elderly grandmother was in a different part of the building but is immobile so could not get out, and I was very worried about her. When I could, I went back in to get her out. The ground felt as if it was a ship that was crossing rough waters or passing through a storm. The house is OK, but lots of things are broken. There were lots of aftershocks and another small quake at around 05:00. Things in the house were shaking and swinging all the time. I was sitting in front of the TV at 03:30. I'd felt tremors before and wasn't too concerned at first. Then the TV fell of the wall. The cupboards started opening and bits of the ceiling were coming down. I ran into my sister's bedroom. She was being very slow so I lifted her out of bed. I woke up my mother and we got out of the house fast. When we got outside, we saw the back wall of the kitchen had fallen down and the foundations under my sister's bedroom had given way. We got into the car to try and get away but the road was blocked by a house that had collapsed. We had to drive back towards our house and stop in a field. We spent all morning there until they cleared the roads. We were due to go back to the UK, where we're from, on Thursday anyway, but we've decided to leave today.

The Lions had picked up just two points from four games since their 6-0 cup defeat by Spurs, but they got back on track with a victory that leaves them three points behind sixth-placed Southend. Scunthorpe, meanwhile, remain in fifth, but are just now just four points clear of the Lions after seeing their winless away run extend to seven matches. Shaun Williams put the hosts ahead when converted an early penalty after Shaun Hutchinson was brought down by Paddy Madden in the second minute. Millwall should have doubled their lead in 31st minute, Steve Morison finding Jed Wallace at the back post, but the winger's effort went high and wide. Ivan Toney's half-volley from 25 yards was smartly tipped over the bar by Tom King as Scunthorpe looked for way back into the game after the restart, before Wallace missed another good chance when he blazed over from 12 yards with the goal at his mercy. However, Millwall got a deserved two-goal lead in 57th minute when Shane Ferguson tapped in Wallace's cross from close range. Aiden O'Brien then got himself on the scoresheet after 68 minutes with a lovely finish, flicking Tony Craig's teasing ball beyond Joe Anyon to put the game to bed. Matt Crooks pulled a goal back when he nodded in a free-kick in the third minute of added time, but it was no more than a consolation. Match report supplied by the Press Association.

Domestic stability has not translated into economic prosperity for Tanzanians, however. Many of its people live below the World Bank poverty line, although the country has had some success in wooing donors and investors. Tanzania is home to two renowned tourism destinations - Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro, and wildlife-rich national parks such as the Serengeti - but has become a target for poachers. Conservationists have warned that the entire elephant population could die out by the end of the decade if they continue to be killed for their ivory at the current rate.

But he was expected to face stiff resistance on the last count from civil servants from within his own Chama Cha Mapinduzi party, which has run Tanzania since independence. His other major election pledges - to tackle youth unemployment and establish free primary and secondary education - will to a large degree depend on cautious management of resources. Mr Magufuli also faces rising political discontent on the island of Zanzibar, where local elections had to be scrapped over vote-rigging allegations shortly before he took office. Laws encourage self-censorship while threats and attacks against journalists hinder critical reporting, according to US-based Freedom House. That has not stopped the country's media scene from developing: once small and largely state-controlled, the media industry has grown rapidly following the advent of the multi-party era in the mid-1990s. Television was a latecomer, with state TV launched only in 2001. Some key dates in Tanzania's history: 1498 - Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama visits Tanzanian coast. Portugal succeeds in controlling most of the East African coast, until it is ousted from Zanzibar in 1699 by Omani Arabs. 1884 - German Colonisation Society begins to acquire territory, ushering in an era of German control over mainland Tanzania, while Britain enjoys a protectorate over Zanzibar. 1916 - British, Belgian and South African troops occupy German East Africa. Three years later, the League of Nations gives Britain a mandate over Tanganyika - today's mainland Tanzania. 1961 - Tanganyika becomes independent with Julius Nyerere as prime minister; Zanzibar gains independence in 1963. 1978 - Ugandans temporarily occupy a piece of Tanzanian territory and, in 1979, Tanzanian forces invade Uganda, occupying the capital, Kampala, and help to oust President Idi Amin. 1992 - Constitution amended to allow multi-party politics. 1998 - Al-Qaeda Islamist terror group bombs US embassies in Tanzania and Kenya. 2001 - At least 31 people are killed and another 100 arrested in Zanzibar in protests against the government's banning of opposition rallies calling for fresh elections. Later the same year, tens of thousands of opposition supporters march through the commercial capital, Dar es Salaam, in the first major joint demonstration by opposition parties in decades. 2012 - The Statoil and Exxon Mobil oil exploration companies make major discovery of gas reserves off the coast of Tanzania.

Patrick McLoughlin's suggestion comes after Met Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe called for offenders to get six points on their licence. The increased sanctions would mean a driver could get banned if they got caught twice in three years. A government spokesman said it was "considering a number of options". It has been illegal to use a mobile phone while driving since December 2003. As it stands offenders get three points on their licence and an initial ¡ê100 fine, which could increase to a ¡ê1,000 fine should the case go to court. Mr McLoughlin's suggestion was made during a lunchtime briefing with journalists on Tuesday. The Daily Mail reported that he said: "We've got to change this. I want to alert people to what they are doing. "The person who is using their phone doesn't realise the damage or the danger that they could be in, so it ends up ruining different people's lives." Figures released by the Department for Transport show that in 2012 there were 17 fatal accidents involving mobile phones and a further 67 "serious accidents". Home Office figures show that in 2012 in England and Wales more than 92,500 fixed penalty notices were issued for using a handheld mobile phone while driving, which is a fall of 32% on 2011 when more than 123,000 notices were issued. Julie Townsend, deputy chief executive of road safety charity Brake, said she would welcome the proposal should it ever become legislation. She said: "We hope the government will implement it. Brake has long campaigned for tougher penalties for mobile phone use at the wheel because of the suffering we see the bereaved and injured victims of road crashes put through as the result of such a senseless and unnecessary risk." A Department for Transport spokesman said: "Using a mobile phone while driving is extremely dangerous which is why we are considering a number of options to deter drivers." In August 2013 the department increased the initial fine drivers received for getting caught using their phone from ¡ê60 to ¡ê100. Shadow transport secretary Mary Creagh said: "Sadly under this government we have seen the first increase in motorway deaths in nearly a decade. "Using your phone while driving is illegal and Labour will be pressing the government to take firm action to prevent these avoidable deaths." Last week research by the motoring group the RAC suggested that a fifth of motorists did not know it was illegal to check social media websites on a phone while driving.

The city-state transformed itself from a British colonial outpost into the country with the third highest average income in the world within a matter of decades. Engineer Lecturer Expat Millionaire Cleaner More from Singapore Direct Not only that, it has become an international financial centre attracting expatriates from across the globe. Foreign workers make up 40% of Singapore's labour market. Exporting consumer electronics has been the driver of growth for Asia since the 1960s, including for Singapore, which has also made the most of one of its few natural advantages, a deep water sea port. For Working Lives, the BBC's Linda Yueh has been meeting people around the island. Wang Han, a young Singaporean design engineer, is the type of highly skilled worker that leads international companies to set up plants in such an expensive country. She works on the innovative digital motor that powers hand dryers and vacuum cleaners for UK company Dyson. The motor is made in Singapore, but the products using it are assembled in Malaysia and sold around the world. That international outlook and the government's promotion of skilled workers also attracts foreigners to Singapore. Frazer Macdonald Hay came to teach young Singaporeans how to integrate design into engineering. He heads a 10-year programme between the Glasgow School of Art and Singapore's Institute of Technology. Chris Gill was attracted by the government's promotion of the financial sector, and a safe, clean environment to bring up his young family. He is the general manager of a global insurance company's Singapore branch. Property developer Satinder Garcha, who according to one survey is Singapore's 46th richest person, plays polo each afternoon in the middle of the city, giving him a rather enviable work-life balance. But it's not just the rich who have a good standard of living. Office cleaner Liew Siew Giok works all day on her feet but goes home to a meal cooked by her Burmese maid. She lives with her extended family, who pay for the domestic help and her flat. The influx of foreigners has created social tensions and the rapid growth of the financial sector has raised some concerns about the future. However, what is clear is that Singapore has grown by being at the leading edge of know-how, giving not just the rich, but most people, a good quality of life.

Today the Liberal Democrats set out their proposals to treble paternity leave. They believe it is good for families and good for businesses. And they took Nick Clegg to a soft play area in Scotland to ensure nice pictures to go along with the story. However, when the Liberal Democrat leader was interviewed, paternity was one of the last subjects he was asked about. Door knocking Instead the first question centred on Nick Clegg's own parliamentary seat. A poll by the Conservative peer Lord Ashcroft has suggested that the Liberal Democrats are currently trailing behind Labour in Sheffield Hallam, and that Mr Clegg could be in danger of losing his place in the Commons. He was quick to fire back saying he was sure he would retain his seat. "I am confident but not complacent that I am going to win," Mr Clegg insisted. "And I will be out knocking doors this weekend." It is a reminder that this is not one election - hundreds are being held across the UK and every constituency matters. Particularly when it is your own. Both Nick Clegg and the UKIP leader Nigel Farage know they face battles to get elected. But both also have a responsibility to be seen supporting their party's candidates and drumming up support more widely around the country. In the case of Nick Clegg he has been very busy, travelling to key areas in England, Scotland and Wales in the first few days alone. It is all part of the Lib Dems' plan for their big yellow battle bus to clock up a lot of miles between now and polling day. The campaign team wants Mr Clegg to be the most "visible and accessible" of the party leaders. He is viewed as a key asset as they try to improve their wider poll ratings. In the last election he made a particular mark in the televised leaders' debates - cast your mind back if you can to a time when they talked about 'Cleggmania'. As he prepares to face the cameras again Nick Clegg is working out a strategy for the studios. 'Watchable spectacle' At this election there will be seven leaders involved in the next debate rather than three. And in his own words the Lib Dem leader is not the "new kid on the block". "I hope it will be a watchable spectacle," he says.  "Although seven politicians talking over each other might not be." If Nick Clegg is right in his view that newcomers tend to do best there will be plenty of other leaders vying for the spotlight. The deputy prime minister may be best presenting himself as an established and now experienced political figure, a calm presence in the centre of the pack. But with so many on the stage it will be much harder for any one leader to stand out. Election campaigns are tricky things for any party to plan.

But which one failed to keep a solitary clean sheet in qualifying? Who made the most passes? And who climbed almost 100 places in the Fifa world rankings? Belgium scored 24 goals as they finished top of Group B but only four of them were scored by strikers - with Christian Benteke, Divock Origi, Michy Batshuayi and Laurent Depoitre all finding the net once. Chelsea's Eden Hazard and Manchester City's Kevin de Bruyne both scored five goals. World champions Germany finished top of Group D - and midfielder Toni Kroos made 315 more passes than any other player during qualifying. Spain's 36-match unbeaten run in World Cup or Euro qualifiers was ended by Slovakia in October 2014. However, Vicente del Bosque's team won their remaining eight games and set a national record of eight consecutive clean sheets in competitive matches. Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo could become the first player to score at four different European Championships if he finds the back of the net in France - and he also has Michel Platini's goals record in sight. Austria were ranked at an all-time low of 105th in the world after their only other appearance at the European Championship, the one they co-hosted with Switzerland in 2008. They rose as high as 10th following an unbeaten qualifying campaign. England are the only European team to have won the World Cup but not the European Championship. They qualified for Euro 2016 with a 100% record - only the sixth nation to ever win every European Championship qualifier in a campaign. They will have the youngest squad in France - with an average age of 25 years and 308 days. Italy's 4-0 defeat by Spain at Euro 2012 is the biggest losing margin in the final of a European Championship or World Cup. Switzerland have finished bottom of their group in each of their three previous Euros, winning only one of nine matches. As the host nation, France did not need to qualify for Euro 2016. Instead they played home and away friendly matches against the five teams in qualifying Group I as part of a Uefa initiative to better prepare host nations for tournaments. Based on those results, France would have topped the group. Turkey have improved every time they have competed at the European Championship: group stage in 1996, quarter-finals in 2000, semi-finals in 2008. Prior to beating Slovenia to book their place in France, Ukraine had lost all five play-off ties they had played - four for the World Cup and one for the Euros. First-choice goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly is hoping to become the first 40-year-old to appear in the European Championship, surpassing Lothar Matthaus as the tournament's oldest player. Shay Given - 19 days Kiraly's junior - could beat him to the landmark, however, with the Republic of Ireland playing first. Romania have played 13 matches at European Championship finals. Their only victory came courtesy of a last-minute penalty to beat England in 2000 and advance to the quarter-finals. Slovakia midfielder Vladimir Weiss, who started his career at Manchester City and is now a winger for Al-Gharafa in the Qatar Stars League, made six assists in qualifying - the joint highest. Northern Ireland became the first nation seeded fifth to finish top of a European Championship group. And they go into the tournament in excellent form. They are on the longest unbeaten run of any side participating at Euro 2016 - 12 games. Gareth Bale scored 64% of Wales' 11 goals in qualifying - the highest proportion by a player from the teams that qualified for France. Euro 2016 is their fourth successive appearance in the finals, and fifth in their six attempts since the country seceded from Yugoslavia. They reached the quarter-finals on debut in 1996 and again in 2008. Poland scored 33 goals in qualifying, more than any other team, while Robert Lewandowski top scored with with 13 goals, two more than Sweden's Zlatan Ibrahimovic. And a bonus stat, because how could we leave this out? Midfielder Slawomir Peszko, once of Wolves, has four kidneys. He was diagnosed with having duplex kidneys during a medical on joining Cologne in 2011. The condition affects one in every 5.5 million people. Russia, who play England in their opening Euro 2016 fixture, are the only finalists who did not score a header in qualifying. They were credited with scoring 21 goals in qualifying but actually only scored 18. They were handed a 3-0 win at Montenegro after that match was abandoned because of crowd trouble with the game scoreless. The Czechs were the only Euro 2016 finalists who failed to keep a clean sheet in qualifying. The Republic of Ireland will have the oldest squad at Euro 2016 - with an average age of 29 years and 297 days. Three of their players have won over 100 caps - Robbie Keane (143), Shay Given (134) and John O'Shea (111). Given would become the first 40-year-old to play at a European Championship if he faces Sweden in their opener - otherwise Hungary's Gabor Kiraly is likely to take that landmark a day later. Iceland will be competing at the Euros for the first time this summer. With a population of 330,000, they're the smallest country to qualify for a European Championship or World Cup. It would be fair to say Sweden were reliant on Zlatan Ibrahimovic during qualifying. He scored 11 of Sweden's 19 goals - Erkan Zengin was next on the scoring charts with three. Albania had 28 shots on target in qualifying - fewer than any side who made it to Euro 2016, and only one fewer than Gibraltar, who finished pointless with a goal difference of -54 at the bottom of Group D. Fifa rankings correct as of 2 June.

More than three million people of Turkish origin live in Germany. It is estimated that 1.4 million of them are eligible to vote in Turkish elections. In effect, the diaspora is Turkey's fourth largest electoral district. A month before a referendum on Turkey's constitution, there's a louder Turkish voice resonating in the heart of Germany. President Recep Tayip Erdogan wants to change the way Turkey is governed, abolish the post of prime minister and significantly extend his own powers. Polls suggest the referendum result will be tight. He needs the support of Germany's Turks. Though, as the singers pause and the players lay their fat-bellied Turkish guitars on the floor, few here tell us they'll dance to his tune. "Actually there is huge opposition to the Erdogan regime in the Turkish community here," says Filliz, "but there's nearly no coverage in the media about it. So Germans think that every Turkish person is an Erdogan supporter - which is simply not the case." But there is also significant support for him among the diaspora. Between 50% and 60% of German Turks who voted in elections over the last four years supported Mr Erdogan and his party. And there were cheers for his foreign minister on the campaign trail in Hamburg on Tuesday. Mr Erdogan has dispatched several of his cabinet to Germany, and a furious diplomatic row ignited after German authorities cancelled a number of planned rallies citing security or technical reasons. Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, for example, spoke from the Turkish consulate in Hamburg after the city authorities closed his original venue after saying that the fire alarm system wasn't working. A furious Mr Erdogan likened Germany's actions to those of the Nazis, provoking outrage at the highest level in Berlin. On Thursday morning, Angela Merkel's indignation was still palpable as she addressed the German parliament. "Comparisons with Nazi Germany," she said "always lead to misery, to the trivialisation of crimes against humanity committed by National Socialism. We will not tolerate this under any circumstances." The comparisons, she said, must stop. But the diplomatic row shows little sign of abating. A sleek convoy of black cars drove through a grey Berlin morning on Wednesday: crisis talks between foreign ministers that yielded little result. Despite pressure from Berlin, a journalist from the German newspaper Die Welt is still in a Turkish jail - the German government has failed as yet to secure consular access to Deniz Yucel - and Ankara insists it will continue to campaign on German soil. Germany should allow that to happen, says Bekir Yilmaz, the president of the Turkish community in Berlin. Mr Erdogan was wrong, he says, to invoke the Nazi past. However, he insists: "People should have the right to campaign freely here. Then voters can decide what's right or wrong. Germans have to accept that." Commentators point out that, for President Erdogan, provoking a row with Germany is simply a calculated election technique - positioning himself against the West and thereby securing votes from right-wingers at home. "Of course he benefits from the controversy," says Ralph Ghadbhan, who has studied the Turkish diaspora for decades. "It's his intention. He sees Germany as a colony and he proved that when he said recently if the German government stops him from campaigning here then they will be confronted with an uprising." The relationship between Ankara and Berlin is often stormy. There were furious exchanges last year after German comic Jans Bohmermann insulted Mr Erdogan with a satirical poem. And there were protests after the German parliament officially declared the massacre of Armenians by Ottoman Turks during World War One a genocide. But this has strained diplomatic relations to the limit, and there is much at stake. It is perhaps telling that this time neither Mr Erdogan or Mrs Merkel has raised the subject of the migrant deal between the EU and Turkey, which the German chancellor largely orchestrated. Under the deal, Turkey holds back migrants in return for billions of euros. The deal was controversial, some say not that effective. But arguably it is one of the ties that continue to bind the two sides together - just. The singers in the Turkish choir worry about the impact of the row on their own community here, and on how Germany perceives them. Old music, new divisions. And still that bitter tone persists. Germany, Ankara warned last night, must decide whether it is a friend or a foe. A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.

Nicole Sedgebeer, 22, from Milton Keynes, was shown to a 24-hour cafe by a man called Mark after failing to catch the train at Euston station. She said she was "close to tears" when he took her to safety and back to the station the next day. Her fundraising page has attracted more than 1,000 donations. Ms Sedgebeer was left outside the station in central London at about 03:00 GMT on 4 March, with no phone battery and hours until her next train. She said she was feeling "very vulnerable" when she was approached by Mark, who took her to an all-night cafe and promised to return to walk her back to Euston. Though she doubted his word, he returned at 05:00 GMT to escort her to the station. "Not only did he turn up, but he had to get a bus to come get me," she said. "Mark you are one special man." Ms Sedgebeer set up a crowdfunding page to raise ¡ê1,000 to thank him but received more than 1,000 donations.

Play was stopped for about three minutes in the second half after home fans aimed racist abuse at Napoli's Senegal defender Kalidou Koulibaly. Referee Massimiliano Irrati opted to play on after consulting with players, coaches and officials. Two first-half goals from Gonzalo Higuain and Jose Callejon ensured Napoli remain ahead of Juventus. "I would not have stopped the match," said Lazio manager Stefano Pioli. "It was chanting from the minority, but I don't think they were racist." In 2013, AC Milan players Kevin-Prince Boateng and Mario Balotelli were the victims of offensive chanting in two separate matches.

Scientists studying chimpanzees in Guinea have seen evidence of long-term and recurrent ingestion of ethanol by apes. The 17-year study recorded chimps using leaves to drink fermented palm sap. Some drank enough alcohol to produce "visible signs of inebriation". The study - published in the journal Royal Society Open Science - revealed their tipple of choice is naturally fermented palm wine, produced by raffia palm trees. In the Bossou area of Guinea, where this research took place, some local people harvest "palm wine" from the trees - tapping them at the crown, and gathering the sap in plastic containers, which they collect in the mornings and evenings. Researchers working in the area had already witnessed chimpanzees climbing the trees - often in groups - and drinking the naturally fermented palm sap. The chimps used drinking tools called leaf sponges - handfuls of leaves that they chew and crush into absorbent sponges, dip into the liquid and suck out the contents. To work out the extent of the animals' indulging, the scientists measured the alcohol content of the wine in the containers and filmed the chimps' "drinking sessions". The research team, led by Dr Kimberley Hockings from Oxford Brookes University and the Centre for Research in Anthropology in Portugal, worked out that the sap was about 3% alcohol by volume. "Some individuals were estimated to have consumed about 85ml of alcohol," she said, "the equivalent to 8.5 UK units [approximately equal to a bottle of wine]". "[They] displayed behavioural signs of inebriation, including falling asleep shortly after drinking. "On another occasion after drinking palm wine, one adult male chimpanzee seemed particularly restless. "While other chimpanzees were making and settling into their night nests, he spent an additional hour moving from tree to tree in an agitated manner. Again pure speculation, but it's certainly something we would like to collect further data on in the future," the researcher told BBC News. Alcohol can be toxic, and although there have been unconfirmed anecdotes of non-human primates consuming it in the wild, this is the first time that researchers have recorded and measured voluntary alcohol consumption in any wild ape. In addition, chimpanzees' apparent taste for a tipple adds to an evolutionary story about humans' common predilection for alcohol. Another recent study by Matthew Carrigan, from Santa Fe College in the US, showed that humans and African apes shared a genetic mutation that enabled them to effectively metabolise ethanol. Prof Richard Byrne, an evolutionary biologist from the University of St Andrews, commented that the evolutionary origin of that gene could be that it "opened access to good energy sources - all that simple sugar - that were accidentally 'protected' by noxious alcohol". "And presumably, whatever its  evolutionary origin, it is that adaptation which makes me able to enjoy a good malt," he added. Dr Catherine Hobaiter, from St Andrews University, said: "It would be fascinating to investigate the [behaviour] in more detail: do chimps compete over access to the alcohol? Or do those who drank enough to show 'behavioural signs of inebriation' have a bit of a slow day in the shade the next morning?" Dr Hobaiter added: "Even after 60 years of studying [chimpanzees], they are constantly surprising us." Follow Victoria on Twitter

The Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW) had been facing cuts of ¡ê42m, around a third of its budget. But Jane Hutt told AMs ¡ê31m of them will be cancelled. HEFCW will now have to find ¡ê11m worth of savings. She also set out plans to use ¡ê2.5m from reserves to help soften the blow of cuts to three rural councils. Ms Hutt said she would allow HEFCW - which funds Welsh universities - to keep ¡ê21.1m which was due to be diverted to tuition fee subsidies, and would give it an extra ¡ê10m to support part-time courses and research. In statement, HEFCW responded: "A cut of 32% to HEFCW's budget would have had a real impact on universities' ability to meet Welsh government priorities. "We are delighted that the contribution of Welsh universities to the economy and society of Wales has been acknowledged." Universities Wales chair Prof Colin Riordan praised ministers for the "understanding" he said they had shown for universities' concerns after the draft budget was published in December. "Whilst the funding outlook for 2016/17 remains unprecedentedly tough, we are now more confident that Welsh universities will be able to manage in the short term until future challenges can be faced," he said. The assembly voted on Tuesday to approve the 2016/17 budget, which includes an extra ¡ê278m for the NHS. With Labour in favour and the Tories and Plaid Cymru voting against, the Liberal Democrats abstained, allowing the budget to pass. There was an outcry from opposition parties when plans to cut council budgets by an average of 2% were announced in December, with rural authorities facing the biggest cuts. The Liberal Democrats claimed credit for securing some recompense for the three biggest losers. Ms Hutt told AMs: "Where we've considered that evidence is compelling we have made some adjustments to our spending plans to support our priorities. "We are confident that our plans are the right plans to invest in the future of Wales - a clear way forward supporting jobs growth and the services that mean the most  to the people of Wales." The budget is the result of a two-year deal between Labour and the Liberal Democrats after extra money was allocated to pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. Conservative Shadow Finance Minister Nick Ramsay accused ministers of announcing "piecemeal rises" to health and education spending. "This budget is more an attempt to make up for past underfunding than a genuine investment in our vital services," he said. Plaid Cymru criticised ministers for being "committed to spending their entire borrowing capacity" on a planned M4 relief road around Newport. Finance spokesman Alun Ffred Jones said: "We will not support a budget, or a government, which we see as failing to meet the needs of all the regions of our country." Liberal Democrat Peter Black claimed the budget had been "significantly improved" by his party. Examples included "extra money for poorer pupils, the money which we've brought into cheaper transport for 16-18-year-olds, the extra apprenticeships and the additional capital funding we've had delivered around Wales", he said.

Media playback is not supported on this device The new laws state players can be punished for making contact with an opponent's head even if the tackle starts below the shoulders. World Rugby said the laws aimed to "ensure the head is a no-go area". "People should be allowed to go to work without being expected to be hit in the head," Jones told BBC Radio Wales. "The game is hard enough as it is. We can't allow the laws to allow players to hit high accidentally and for people to say 'oh, that's just rugby'. It's not. "I think it's going to be rough for a while but I think in time people will change their behaviour because the sanctions are so harsh, if you don't tackle low you're going to be really seriously penalised." Media playback is not supported on this device The laws, which came into effect on 3 January, state that players can receive at least a yellow card for a high tackle that makes contact with the head of an opponent while a penalty will be awarded if head contact is accidental. Ospreys head coach Steve Tandy said the new laws were making referees' lives difficult. after fly-half Sam Davies was sin-binned in their Pro12 win against Connacht on Saturday. Meanwhile, Scarlets controversially beat Ulster when Sean Reidy was yellow carded for a high tackle at the try-line on Aled Davies and referee Marius Mitrea awarded the Welsh side a penalty try and just two minutes later, Scarlets second row Jake Ball was also sent to the sin bin for a high tackle. In the English Premiership, Saracens prop Richard Barrington and centre Brad Barritt were cited after their part in a dangerous tackle that knocked out Exeter lock Geoff Parling in their 13-13 draw on Saturday. Barrington was sent off for the tackle under the new interpretation of the laws. Jones believes that there has been a shift in the way that players tackle in the last 20 years, along with the introduction of professionalism into the sport. "It comes down to a cultural change in the game. Since professionalism and the influence of rugby league coaches and the way offload and contact area has dominated rugby now, the tackle has risen in terms of its height," Jones continued. "Perhaps the influence of the southern hemisphere and the Polynesian countries tend to tackle a bit higher in the past. Everyone's doing it now. "There's an inherent danger in doing that. If you get it wrong by 10 centimetres then instead of getting them in the chest you can hit them in the head or face. That's got to stop."

The 27-year-old former QPR and Hull man scored 25 goals in 48 appearances for League Two Orient last season. "Both clubs are talking and it's in the hands of the financial directors at Orient and my chairman," said Brown. "It's a case of watch this space. I'm hopeful that I'll improve the squad, not just in that area but in others." Southend lost 3-1  to Gillingham in their first game of the season on on Saturday, having taken the lead early on through Stephen McLaughlin. Brown told BBC Essex: "I think we're still probably three players short and I've been working hard to get players in. "I had a meeting with the chairman on Sunday morning, which is not a typical one, but is down to the fact that the second-half performance was so alarmingly poor."

Theresa Villiers said there were "risks on both sides of this debate" but the "safer option" was to leave. Ms Villiers said the UK could then "negotiate a new deal based on free trade and co-operation". So far, she is one of five full members of the cabinet in favour of leaving the EU, with 16 supporting staying. Others who have joined the Leave campaign are Michael Gove, Chris Grayling, Iain Duncan Smith and John Whittingdale. EU Referendum: Where Conservative MPs stand Gove: Britain 'freer, fairer and better off outside the EU' Mr Cameron has warned that leaving the European Union would be a "leap in the dark", as he urged voters to back his reform deal. The PM said: "Those who want to leave Europe cannot tell you if British businesses would be able to access Europe's free trade single market, or if working people's jobs are safe, or how much prices would rise. "All they're offering is a risk at a time of uncertainty - a leap in the dark." Ms Villiers, who was an MEP for six years, said she did not think the EU system was "capable of changing in a way that would be the right option for us". She said: "In the decades ahead we face a European project that is ever more determined to integrate, to take more powers and we could be outvoted many times over the years to come. "So there is no stable status quo for us to cling to. "Even with this deal [negotiated with EU leaders by David Cameron] we will still be subject to the Court of European Justice who may still do its best to unpick the deal that's been agreed." Ms Villiers said she was "profoundly optimistic" about the UK, which she said could "flourish outside the EU". She said Mr Cameron had won "important concessions" in Brussels. "But the reality is a really radical way to change our relationship is to vote to leave and then negotiate a deal based on the trade and co-operation that people thought we were signing up to when we joined the European Union. "It's long overdue that people have a right to decide on this, David Cameron is delivering that." Ms Villiers said there had been "a sense of history" at Saturday's cabinet meeting at which ministers discussed which way they would vote in the referendum in June. "It was quite emotional. It was also very measured, very objective, very sincere," she said. "There was a determination that we wanted it to be a high-quality debate so people can make an informed choice, and to work courteously with each other even if we find ourselves on different sides." She said it was "very difficult to be on a different side" to Mr Cameron but she didn't believe the divisions in the cabinet would lead to civil war in the Conservative Party. "Ultimately, [it is] the arguments about what is good for our future, what will generate the best prosperity, what will make us most secure that will determine how people vote in the referendum - not how each cabinet member will vote." The Republic of Ireland's main opposition party criticised Ms Villiers' decision, saying it was "wrong for Northern Ireland" and "deeply worrying". Fianna Fail spokesman on foreign affairs Brendan Smith said:  "Secretary Villiers is entitled to her own views on this matter and that must be fully respected. "However, I believe it is clear that a Brexit would be bad for Northern Ireland and bad for Irish-British relations."

The record-breaking fantasy drama would leave a strong legacy for the local TV industry, said NI Screen CEO Richard Williams. Game of Thrones will end after its eighth season in 2018, US broadcaster HBO confirmed on Saturday. The multi-award winning series is largely filmed in Northern Ireland. Its seventh series is currently in production, with additional filming in Iceland and Spain.

NI Screen had always known Game of Thrones would come to an end, Mr Williams told the BBC. "By the time Game of Thrones leaves Northern Ireland, it will have been on the ground here for 10 years," he added. "That's a very long time in our game." The set is at Belfast's Titanic studios and there are also a number of exterior locations across the country. NI Screen has invested ¡ê13.75m of public money in the first six seasons of the programme. It says that investment has returned ¡ê146m to the local economy, in terms of services and tourism. "Belfast Harbour are in the process of building studios on the North Foreshore, extending the capacity beyond Game of Thrones," said Mr Williams. "When it leaves, it leaves all of the knowledge, it leaves all of the support companies. "There have been post-production companies, casting, extras companies, catering companies, and lighting and construction. "They are all here, and there's not a significant buyer in Los Angeles that doesn't know that Game of Thrones was made here. "They know that capacity is going to come to the market, and they will be interested." Government-backed NI Screen is the lead agency responsible for film and TV production in Northern Ireland. Last year, Game of Thrones won a record 12 Emmy Awards for a series in a single year. The series, based on novels written by George R R Martin, has picked up 23 nominations - another record - ahead of this year's annual ceremony to be held in September.

Gunmen laid the decapitated bodies out on a sheet in a central square in full view of horrified pedestrians. On the sheet was a written message from the Gulf drugs cartel to a rival gang. Beheadings have become a feature of the violent struggle between Mexican drugs gangs fighting for control of smuggling routes into the US. More than 34,600 people have died in drug-related violence in Mexico since December 2006, when President Felipe Calderon began deploying the army to fight the cartels. Much of the violence has been concentrated in northern states along the US border. Nuevo Laredo is in Tamaulipas state, which has been the focus of a bloody turf war between the Gulf cartel and the Zetas gang. Attacks on the security forces have also become frequent in the state. Earlier this month Nuevo Laredo's police chief Manuel Farfan - a former army officer - was shot dead along with two of his bodyguards. Last June, a candidate for the governor of Tamaulipas, Rodolfo Torre Cantu, was killed on the campaign trail in an attack blamed on drug gangs. And in August, the bodies of 72 Central and South American migrants were found inside a ranch in the state, after they allegedly refused to pay an extortion fee to the gangs.

Denton County Sheriff Tracy Murphree's controversial post urged Americans to "pay attention" to the Islamic jihadists who "want to kill you". His comments came after a suicide bomber killed 22 people and injured 64 at an Ariana Grande concert in the UK. His remarks quickly drew both praise and outrage online. "I stand behind it," Mr Murphree told a local NBC news affiliate on Tuesday. "We need to be realistic about the world we live in." Mr Murphree wrote on Monday after the attack: "This is what happens when you disarm your citizens. When you open your borders without the proper vetting. "When you allow political correctness to dictate how you respond to an enemy that wants to kill you. "The left tells us we must submit and accept these radical beliefs and bend over backwards to make sure we don't hurt anybody's feelings." "The left wants to cater to the very group that would kill every group they claim to support. Folks this is an enemy hell bent on killing you," he continued. He later wrote: "You better wake up America. While you are distracted by the media and the crying of the left, Islamic Jihadist are among us and want to kill you." His comments came after a suicide bomber killed 22 people, including children, and wounded 64 others outside an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester. The viral post quickly attracted hundreds of responses, with some thanking him for "speaking truth" and others accusing him of fear-mongering. Some users also criticised Mr Murphree for using a terrorist attack to promote gun rights. The local Council for Islamic Relations (CAIR) chapter called the post an "Islamaphobic rant". But Mr Murphree pushed back. "A lot of folks want to make it a race issue," he told NBC5. "And to me, it's not a race issue. It's a public safety issue." The sheriff's controversial post was not his first. Last April, while running for office, Mr Murphree was criticised for posting about North Carolina's transgender "bathroom bill". The law banned transgender people from using toilets in accordance with their chosen gender. Mr Murphree suggested he would assault any man who entered the same toilet as his daughter, sparking backlash among the transgender community. He later told the local ABC affiliate WFAA the post "was a mistake".
