Independent consultant Mycle Schneider is a lead author of the annual World Nuclear Status report. He said the Hinkley Point C project's difficulties would affect Wylfa Newydd's ability to attract investors. But Horizon Nuclear Power said it was very confident the new power station would be delivered successfully. Speaking to BBC Radio Cymru's Post Cyntaf programme, Mr Schneider, who has advised both the French and German governments on nuclear policy, said: "The Hinkley Point project is in great difficulties and you could argue that the uncertainties are even larger in the case of Wylfa Newydd." The Anglesey plant, he said, would need "very clear and very large subsidies to get off the ground". Horizon is in talks with the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) on issues such as the strike price, which will be key to attracting additional finance. Richard Foxhall of Horizon Nuclear Power told BBC Wales other investors would need to be brought on board to deliver Wylfa Newydd and that talks were ongoing. "What is important is that the right conditions for investment are made and part of that is discussions with the government," he said. "But we're very, very confident that we can reach a successful conclusion to those negotiations and make sure the conditions are there to attract investment." The chairman of Horizon's parent company Hitachi has warned it may walk away from the project if a viable deal cannot be reached. The UK government wants low-cost nuclear power. Ieuan Williams, leader of Anglesey council said it was "very important the project goes ahead" to help secure the UK's future electricity supply as well as jobs in the area. "Nuclear projects are very complex, costly and take a long time to build.  But I do believe that energy policy in the UK favours nuclear," he added. "So I think it is very unlikely that we will not see Wylfa Newydd being built." 2017 Horizon to submit planning application 2018 Site to be prepared for construction 2020 First concrete to be laid 2025 Plant to start generating electricity There have been questions about the viability of the ?¡ê24bn Hinkley Point C nuclear project in Somerset. Horizon said it was in "no way dependent" on the success or otherwise of Hinkley. It pointed to the fact the reactors planned for Wylfa Newydd are a different design to those which have caused long delays and spiralling costs for its rival EDF. Although the advanced boiling water reactors are yet to be licensed in the UK, Horizon said they have been tried and tested in Japan and delivered on budget and on time. But others argue Hinkley's fate is bound to have an impact on the other nuclear plants the UK has in the pipeline.

Foster and Partners will design a building at Central Square with a new bus station, shops, up to 200,000 sq ft (18,581 sq m) of offices and a 200-bed hotel. The council aims to get 50% of people in the city using public transport. The firm is also responsible for designing the new BBC Wales headquarters at the square. The bus station will be designed around an enclosed public concourse, with a large waiting area. There will also be walkways giving access to the adjacent railway station, a bicycle hub, shops and restaurants. It will close in August, with buses redirected until it reopens in December 2017. Detailed plans will be submitted to councillors at the end of 2015.

Why does the Scottish National Party and its former leader matter? Because, if the general election polls are right, in six weeks time the SNP could hold the balance of power in the House of Commons. If neither Labour nor the Conservatives win a majority, one of them would need votes from smaller parties to govern - and the pollsters suggest the SNP could be the biggest of those smaller parties, perhaps with about 50 MPs. This week Mr Salmond, who hopes to be among that number, launched a thousand newspaper columns written by observers apparently astonished and horrified at his statements of the obvious. Shock! SNP MPs would not vote for a Tory Queen's Speech, said Mr Salmond. Did anyone think they would? Horror! They would try to influence a Labour chancellor's budget. Did anyone think they wouldn't? Mr Salmond's appearance on the Andrew Marr show was described by Conservative defence minister Anna Soubry as "one of the scariest" she had heard for a very long time. "The audacity is astonishing," she told the man himself as they cosied up on the studio sofa, adding waspishly: "There was a wonderful debate in Scotland. You lost it." Ms Soubry was echoing sentiments which have abounded for weeks now. Reheating the most incendiary phrase in British politics Allan Massie in the Mail on Sunday foresaw the River Thames foaming with blood. "The English bulldog has woken from a long sleep, and is beginning to snarl," he warned. For Max Hastings, in the Daily Mail: "A historic tragedy beckons for the UK... the backlash in the south will prove bitter indeed." So who benefits from all this? As it happens, the rhetoric might suit both the SNP and the Tories, at least in the short-term, in their battles against a mutual enemy: Labour. North of the border the SNP are trying to portray themselves as the party that stands up for Scotland and its interests against the pitiless Tories. To the south, the Tories want to present themselves as the defenders of England and its interests against the socialist hordes, kilted or otherwise. This clash of two nationalisms is disheartening for the significant chunk of Scotland which viewed last year's debate about independence as distracting and divisive rather than energising and exciting. In particular it's bad news for the Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson who took to the pages of the London Evening Standard to say so. "The SNP is not Scotland and Scotland is not the SNP," she warned, describing nationalist tactics as "cheap, dirty politics" designed to "stoke division" and "annoy the rest of the country into pushing Scotland towards the exit". Unfortunately for her, Tory strategists in London appear to have chosen to throw fuel on to the fire, taking the opportunity to paint the Labour leader Ed Miliband as weak and the SNP as power-crazed. Mr Salmond, said a Tory party spokesman, was plotting to "sabotage the democratic will of the British people in order to make Ed Miliband prime minister". Robin McAlpine, director of the Common Weal think tank, part of the wider independence movement but not affiliated to the SNP, says such outrage is absurd. He says: "If England as a nation wants to be an electoral unit of their own then they have to have a campaign of independence. If England wants to be independent of Britain, then start leafleting, start marching, and have your campaign." The Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy is scathing about the approach of both his rivals. "Alex Salmond loves the sound of his own voice," he says. "It's only surprising the Tories are giving him a megaphone to amplify that voice." "The fact is that the Tories can't win in Scotland so they need someone else to defeat the Labour Party for them." Mr Murphy insists voters north of the border will see through this attempt to "divide and rule". For her part, the leader of the SNP, Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, denies that she has sent Mr Salmond southwards to stir up dissent. Nor, she says, is he doing so off his own bat. "That is not the objective of the SNP in this election," she insists. "We're not there to prod anybody or get a rise out of anybody. "We're there to seek to stand up for Scotland to get better policies coming out of the House of Commons." To satisfy its burgeoning membership - now said to be above 100,000 - the SNP will need those policies to be radical, says Mr McAlpine. Otherwise "they're going to shed those members," he says. This move to the left has "already started," Mr McAlpine argues, with an economic document from the Scottish government giving "greater economic equality the same weight as economic growth". It is "a big step," he says. Mr McAlpine also defends Mr Salmond against the charge of provoking the English. "I don't think he's driving a wedge between Scotland and England," he says. "He's driving a wedge between the politics Scotland believes in, a progressive social-democratic politics, and a politics that he doesn't believe in, the vicious anti-immigrant, anti-welfare politics which seems to be quite strong in the south of England." Whether that is the case, and whatever the motivations of both the SNP and the Conservatives, there are big risks ahead. If the Tories get it wrong they could put the union they support in peril. The SNP faces the opposite problem. In particular, three potential scenarios could be tricky for the party: None of these options looks particularly attractive for the nationalists, especially when you consider that the SNP is still tainted in the eyes of some Scots for voting 36 years ago today against the Labour Prime Minister Jim Callaghan in a confidence motion. Mr Callaghan lost by one vote and the era of Margaret Thatcher followed, to the horror of many people in Scotland. Now, Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon clearly think they could cause a lot of mischief before a crunch point like this was reached, amending bills here and there and squeezing out concessions. In the meantime Ms Sturgeon's message can be summed up as: you wanted us to stay in the union, so now we want to have a say in it. The trouble is everybody knows that staying in the union is not the SNP's principal aim. Why would stable and secure governance of the United Kingdom be a priority for a party which doesn't believe the UK should even exist? Any politician thinking of quaffing champagne at this stage cannot know whether they will end up raising a toast or weeping into their glass.

Driver Louise Small, 33 said she was threatened by Fergus Beeley in a Sainsbury's car park off the M27 near Hedge End in Hampshire on Saturday. Her 50-year-old mother, 14-year-old son Joshua and partner Simon Gale, 33 were also in the car. It followed a two-car crash involving the family's Mazda at about 11:30 BST. Police said no arrests had been made. No-one was injured in the collision. During the heated exchange Mr Beeley told the family he was "trying to stop a death on the roads". He said he was placing the family under a citizens arrest and added: "I do want you dead. "In fact I want you dead right now. Get back in your car before you die." Mr Beeley, whose car was not involved in the crash on the M27, said he had intervened "because people nearly lost their lives on the motorway". Ms Small said she believed the other driver involved in the crash was Mr Beeley's wife who was travelling in a separate car. Ms Small said: "He opened the passenger side door and he just flipped - he was just so crazy - he just ranted at my mum. "I stayed in the car in case he tried to grab my son." The family from Salisbury had been travelling to Portsmouth for a day out, but abandoned their plans after the heated exchange. Mr Beeley, who has worked on Sir David Attenborough's The Life of Birds, Planet Earth - The Future, and BBC Natural World, has been contacted by BBC News for a response. He has not worked with the BBC for 10 years and is not a BBC employee. Hampshire Constabulary said the non-injury crash had involved a Mazda 3, a Peugeot 107 and a Skoda Octavia. A spokeswoman said nobody had been arrested but an allegation of common assault was subsequently made by a 33-year-old man from Southampton and a 54-year-old from Gloucestershire. Advice was given to both parties and they were told the two assaults would be recorded and filed.

They were the unlikely couple who inadvertently spawned the era of the super-coach. Like Murray, Lendl knew exactly how it felt to lose your first four Grand Slam finals. He never said an enormous amount during training sessions but, through honesty and experience, helped Murray convert his extraordinary ability and drive into Grand Slam titles. Many coaching relationships last significantly less than two and a quarter years - Maria Sharapova and Jimmy Connors chalked up one match together - but the timing of this announcement is not at all ideal. Dani Vallverdu: Venezuelan is currently part of Murray's coaching staff Darren Cahill: Worked with Murray on the Adidas development programme Roger Rasheed: doing a great job with Grigor Dimitrov Bob Brett: former coach of Boris Becker and Goran Ivanisevic Mats Wilander: Former grand slam winner Like Murray, Lendl won his first two Grand Slam titles in his mid-20s but then unearthed the secret of winning six more in the following five years. His input would have been invaluable to Murray as he adapts to life as a Wimbledon champion and tries to play his way through a mediocre spell of form since September's back surgery. Lendl's desire is to play more and coach less: too little for the amount of time Murray feels he requires. The eight-time Grand Slam champion will always be a supportive voice - as former coaches Mark Petchey and Miles Maclagan have also been - but will not be on hand to guide Murray through a potentially tricky year. Murray told me he had "no real explanation" for the way he played when he lost to Milos Raonic in the fourth round in Indian Wells last week. He hinted at a lack of confidence and even bemusement that - despite being match fit - he is unable to rediscover the form of last summer. His world ranking of six may also start to trouble him soon because as the defending champion in Miami this week, it's likely to fall before it starts to rise. John McEnroe's tally of seven Grand Slam titles puts him among the all-time greats. He won them all by the age of 25 and admits he then found it hard to find the next gear. When we chatted in Indian Wells last weekend, he explained what Murray might now be going through. "[It's tough] to win Wimbledon, the Olympics and the [US] Open in one year basically, and then be able to put that aside and say, all right, now I've got to train even harder because all of a sudden people are going to say 'why can't he win eight Grand Slams?' "He's got two now so therefore he should win one or two a year and he'd better do it, or else it's considered unacceptable. "And he just hasn't been able in my mind to get out of that. I wouldn't call it a funk, but just sort of finding that inspiration again." So who does Murray turn to for help? To Dani Vallverdu, first of all. The Venezuelan has a low-profile but hugely important role in Murray's team. He is, to all intents and purposes, a full-time travelling coach and a very close friend from their time together at the Sanchez-Casal Academy in Barcelona. Vallverdu - with some assistance from Alex Corretja and Darren Cahill - was effectively running the show for the 18 months between Miles Maclagan's departure and Lendl's arrival, and his presence allows Murray time to consider his options carefully. He is not someone who will be panicked into a hasty and possibly unwise decision, and some on the tour believe that at Murray's age he doesn't need any further additions to his squad. I think he would benefit from another voice at this pivotal stage of his career: someone not too close to him, yet able to inspire him to greater heights. Murray once remarked that, early in their relationship, he used to try to impress Lendl in the way you would a new girlfriend, and his results and on-court demeanour were noticeably better when the Czech was present. Any future coach also should be able to share Murray's sense of humour, and most crucially to understand the very exclusive world he inhabits. That would not have to be another former Grand Slam champion, although of the few who have not been snapped up, Mats Wilander would be an excellent choice. Murray has spoken highly in the past of Darren Cahill, who he worked with as part of the Adidas development programme, Roger Rasheed (who now looks to be doing a great job with Grigor Dimitrov) and Bob Brett, the former coach of Boris Becker and Goran Ivanisevic. An appointment is not urgent, but Murray is well aware that life at the top of professional sport can be brutally short.

Haribo claimed the Lindt version was a violation of its "Gold Bear" logo. Germany's Federal Court of Justice ruled Lindt's bear was neither a violation of Haribo's trademark or an imitation of its fruit gum sweets. Haribo has been making gummy bear sweets since the 1960s. Lindt introduced its chocolate teddy in 2011. Haribo took its rival to court in 2012, arguing the products were too similar and it would cause confusion among consumers. A German court initially ruled in favour of the German manufacturer but an appeal court later threw out the verdict. Lindt argued that its gold bear was styled on its Easter bunnies, which are wrapped in gold foil with a ribbon and small bell around their necks. The bunnies were first produced in 1952. The federal court said in a statement (in German) on Wednesday that Lindt's product could be described using a number of terms such as "teddy" or "chocolate bear" and not just using the term "gold bear". It said it wanted to avoid the danger of "product design monopolisation" in the area of three-dimensional goods. In a statement, Lindt welcomed the ruling and said it would "continue to delight all Lindt chocolate lovers with the Lindt Teddy". Last week, the European Court of Justice rejected Nestle's request to trademark the shape of it four-fingered KitKat bar in the UK.

The star made the comments at a Women in Film awards ceremony on Wednesday. Actress Shari Belafonte called out from the audience Spielberg had directed the 1985 film The Color Purple, starring Whoopi Goldberg. But after another audience member yelled it was wrong, Banks believed she was still correct. "I messed up," Banks said in a tweet. The Hunger Games star was awarded an excellence in film prize at the ceremony and used her acceptance speech to highlight gender equality in Hollywood. "We can't do it by ourselves... It's our responsibility to bring the men along," she said. 'I'm wrong' "I went to Indiana Jones and Jaws and every movie Steven Spielberg ever made, and by the way, he's never made a movie with a female lead. Sorry, Steven. I don't mean to call your ass out, but it's true." After Belafonte reminded Banks of Oscar-nominated movie The Color Purple, the actress initially corrected herself. "OK... I'm wrong. Ummma€| he directed?" she queried. Another guest mistakenly called out no, so Banks concluded: "Oh, so I'm right still," and moved on. The error was much talked about in both social and general media - especially as The Color Purple focuses on the issues African American women faced in early 20th Century. The Color Purple Banks posted a lengthy apology on Twitter on Thursday, saying she "framed [her] comments about [Spielberg's] films inaccurately". "I want to be clear from the start that I take full responsibility for what I said and I'm sorry," she wrote. "When I made the comments, I was thinking of recent films Steven directed, it was not my intention to dismiss the importance of the iconic #TheColorPurple. "I made things worse by giving the impression that I was dismissing Shari Belafonte when she attempted to correct me. I spoke with Shari backstage and she was kind enough to forgive me. "Those who have the privilege and honour of directing and producing films should be held to account for our mistakes, whether it's about diversity or inaccurate statements. I'm very sorry." Since Banks's error, others have pointed out that while she was wrong in her claim about Spielberg, the director has only helmed three films out of his 30 which feature a female lead. In addition to The Color Purple, he also directed Goldie Hawn in The Sugarland Express (1974) and his most recent film, The BFG, featured 12-year-old Ruby Barnhill in the lead. His next film, The Papers, also stars Meryl Streep in the main role as the first US female newspaper publisher. Banks is next set to direct a rebooted film version of Charlie's Angels. As well as appearing in the Pitch Perfect series of films, she directed the second and served as a producer on all three.

The finds in the Grotta del Cavallo, Apulia, and Kents Cavern, Devon, have been confirmed as the earliest known remains of Homo sapiens in Europe. Careful dating suggests they are more than 41,000 years old, and perhaps as much as 45,000 years old in the case of the Italian "baby teeth". The details are in the journal Nature. The results fit with stone tool discoveries that had suggested modern people were in Europe more than 40,000 years ago. Now, scientists have the direct physical remains of Homo sapiens to prove it. It confirms also that modern people overlapped in Europe with their evolutionary cousins, the Neanderthals, for an extended period. These humans went extinct shortly afterwards, and the latest discoveries will raise once again the questions over Homo sapiens' possible role in their relatives' demise. "What's significant about this work is that it increases the overlap and contemporaneity with Neanderthals," explained Dr Tom Higham, from Oxford University, who led the study on the British specimen found at Kents Cavern, Torquay. "We estimate that probably three to five thousand years of time is the amount of the overlap between moderns and Neanderthals in this part of the world," he told the BBC Science in Action programme. The new results indicate, too, that modern humans swept across Europe via a number of different routes, as they populated the world after leaving Africa some 60,000 years ago. Both the teeth and the jaw fragment have been known about for decades. In the case of the jaw from Kents Cavern, this was first identified in 1927. The two Italian baby teeth were found in the Grotta del Cavallo in southern Italy in 1964. Scientists have long pondered the specimens' age and origin. Many thought they were more likely to be Neanderthal remains. It is only with the application of the very latest analytical techniques that the specimens' true status can be established. Because of their concerns about modern contamination in the jaw, Higham and colleagues went back to animal fossils found above and below the object in the Torquay cave and re-dated those with greater precision. This produced a likely age for the human remains of between 41,500 and 44,200 years ago. The team also re-examined the shape of the jaw's three teeth, including their internal structure, to remove doubts that the jaw could be Neanderthal. "We've done a new reconstruction, and we've actually found that one of the teeth was in the wrong place. That's for starters," said co-author Prof Chris Stringer, from London's Natural History Museum. "But we've also done a really detailed comparison, right down to the shape of the roots and internal pulp cavities.  We've gone to microscopic details to show this really is a modern human. You would never find a Neanderthal fossil that had this many modern human features." Likewise for the Italian baby teeth, Dr Stefano Benazzi and colleagues performed a morphological analysis, comparing the features of their specimens with a wide database of Homo sapiens and Neanderthal remains.  Again, this approach indicated the Grotta del Cavallo specimens were from a modern person. The Benazzi team also resorted to advanced radio-carbon dating technology to reassess the age.  This was applied to ornamental shell beads found in the same layer as the teeth. "The new dating shows that the teeth must be between 43,000 and 45,000 years ago," said Dr Benazzi from the University of Vienna, Austria. "That makes them the oldest European modern-human currently known," he told BBC News. The re-assessments have further importance because palaeoanthropologists can now put modern humans in the caves at the same time as the stone and bone tool technologies discovered there. There has been some doubt over who created the so-called Aurignacian artefacts at Kents Cavern and the slightly older Uluzzian technologies at Grotta del Cavallo.  It could have been Neanderthals, but there is now an obvious association in time with Homo sapiens. No-one really knows why Neanderthals went extinct or what part - if any - modern humans played in their disappearance. Scientists say it is not necessarily the case that there was conflict between the two groups; it could just have been that Homo sapiens was better equipped to deal with the harsh challenges of the time. "I think it's still very much an open question because climate is also a part of the story," commented Prof Stringer. "The fact is that while these populations were overlapping, the climate of Europe was very unstable.  Populations were expanding and shrinking and being pushed around by very rapid changes in environment. "I think it's going to be a combination of factors, with both Neanderthals and modern humans being stressed but the moderns being perhaps a bit better adapted to the changes and being able to get through them. The Neanderthals on the other hand weren't, and they went extinct." Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk

Ch Supt Lee Bruckshaw was accused of trying to intervene in the case of a Greater Manchester Police (GMP) sergeant accused of shoplifting. He eventually received "management advice" after a charge of perverting the course of justice was dropped. GMP said its inquiry "took too long". In an email to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), Mr Bruckshaw said the colleague accused, but subsequently cleared, of shoplifting in September 2014 had a terminally ill child. The resulting disciplinary action - carried out by GMP but managed by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) - was initially for gross misconduct. The chief superintendent, who denied trying to influence the CPS's decision, eventually received "management advice" - the lowest form of sanction. "I stand by what I did," Mr Bruckshaw, a police officer for 31 years,  told the BBC. "My barrister said a lot of judges would commend me for doing what I did because, as we saw a month later, he was acquitted of these offences." Mr Bruckshaw questioned whether it was appropriate that the officer investigating him had a "previous grievance" after being removed by him from CID. The chief superintendent said he raised this point in May 2015 with then Deputy Chief Constable Ian Hopkins, who "didn't see it as a problem". Mr Hopkins succeeded Sir Peter Fahy as chief constable in September 2015. "Appointing the investigating officer was a decision by GMP and supported by the IPCC," a GMP spokesman told the BBC. When asked if police should be "absolutely squeaky clean", Mr Bruckshaw replied: "I agree that if an allegation is made an officer should be investigated and I do not have any problem with that." But he said the investigation should have ended in May 2015 "when I had answered every single question" and added: "Why didn't it stop there, instead of dragging my name through the mud?" Mr Bruckshaw, who said he now wants to retire from the force, said the overall estimated cost of the process, including the investigations, wages and legal fees, was about ¡ê500,000 - a figure not disputed by GMP. He said this was a "waste of public money". In a statement, GMP said it "accepts this investigation was not carried out in the effective manner that we always aspire to and that it took too long to reach the eventual conclusion. "We are always working to ensure we can take learning from situations when things do not go as well as we would want and as such a full review will take place. We will be asking the Superintendents Association for its support with this work. "Any recommendations identified will be acted on to ensure that future cases are managed in an effective manner." The BBC asked for responses from Mr Hopkins and the officer who investigated Mr Bruckshaw, but no further statement was issued.

Twelve weeks of work has begun at Bournemouth's Horseshoe Common - a so-called "shared space scheme". The authority said it was not clear whether the problem was a result of the materials but it would be reusing the blocks in an area of lighter traffic.

The council initially said a 40% increase in the number of buses using the road since the ¡ê1.04m scheme was implemented had contributed to its decline. However, it later issued a joint statement with operator Yellow Buses, saying there had been "confusion surrounding the number of bus vehicles", there had been no increase in services and the authority did not blame the bus company.

Sian Blake, 43, Zachary, eight, and four-year-old Amon were found buried in the garden of their London home on 5 January. Arthur Simpson-Kent, 49, has pleaded guilty to the killings and is being sentenced at the Old Bailey. The court heard he killed them in December and later fled to Ghana. The cannabis dealer faces whole life sentences for killing Ms Blake, who had motor neurone disease, and their children. The court heard that Ms Blake's illness and her "unhealthy" relationship led her to consider selling their home and moving back in with her family. She had spoken to her mother, Lindell Blake, about the four of them moving in with her but her mother said Simpson Kent could not come, which Ms Blake "appeared to accept". Mark Heywood QC, prosecuting, said: "The evidence suggests, and this much is not disputed, that, on the night of December 14, 2015, the defendant killed each of them in turn with heavy, deliberate, repeated blows with a blunt instrument not since recovered, and then by cutting and stabbing them with a bladed weapon in a way that ensured their deaths. "He then covered his crimes by moving, wrapping and burying each of them, cleaning and partially painting his home." In the days following her death, family tried to contact Ms Blake and received texts from her mobile phone saying she had gone away, the court was told. Mr Heywood said: "The defendant, using her [Ms Blake's] phone, was sending the messages." He said that, as police launched a missing persons investigation into Ms Blake and her children, Simpson-Kent booked a flight from Glasgow to Accra. In a message to a friend, he said: "I can't go into details about what I have done but I only have 2 choices. Go to Ghana one way or Die (sic)." He was later tracked down by police and arrested on a beach in his native Ghana, before being extradited back to the UK. When interviewed by detectives in Accra, he claimed there had been a murder-suicide pact between him and Ms Blake because of her illness - but nothing was written down. Ms Blake played Frankie Pierre in 56 episodes of EastEnders between 1996 and 1997. Jim Sturman QC, acting for Simpson-Kent, told the court the couple had previously discussed "ending it all" because of her illness. But he added: "There was no agreement to kill in this way and it was against this backdrop that the guilty pleas were entered. "It is not suggested that the killings were a mercy killing.  It is our case that Simpson-Kent snapped under the pressure of the disease, the way it was killing Sian and the inevitability of it all." He said the defendant was "not a man prone to violence", adding: "What happened on that night was a truly extraordinary and out-of-character murder." The sentencing hearing continues.

It is one secret scientists at the National Botanic Garden of Wales and Aberystwyth University are trying to unlock. Butterflies see a broader spectrum of light than humans and the team wants to know how it affects how they cope in captivity. The garden hopes it may help make those in its butterfly house "happier". "How we can see the world around us is very different from how a butterfly sees it. The butterfly world, in some ways, is actually more complicated than ours," said Dr Natasha de Vere, head of science at the National Botanic Garden of Wales. "It's really important. If they're finding a mate, if they're finding their food plants, they've got to be able to see those and they have got to be able to see those with the light levels that they would normally be used to." The garden, near Llanarthney, Carmarthenshire, opened its butterfly house in June last year. At any one time, it has about 300 butterflies of 20 different species. Dr de Vere said the research could help them improve conditions for the insects during winter, when there is less light than in their natural habitats. Depending on the results, the garden could, for instance, install specially-designed lights to mimic the conditions best suited to the insects. "They should definitely be happier, because first of all it should be easier to find a mate and the same for food plants," she added. She said it could also help to shed light on how different conditions affect butterflies in the wild, assisting with regeneration work after a forest has been cleared and when it comes to releasing captive butterflies into the wild. Zoologist Dr Roger Santer, of Aberystwyth University, said there is still a lot to be learned about how butterfly species perceive colour. Human colour perceptions are based on three kinds of cone photoreceptor cells in the eye which respond to light - blue, green and red, he explained. This means colours for humans are made up of different amounts of blue, green and red, which is why TV and computer screens use them to represent different shades for our eyes. But butterflies have more types of photoreceptors with different sensitivities, spanning from UV wavelengths to red wavelengths, meaning they have "different colour perceptions than we do". This allows them to spot certain UV "signposts" which exist in the natural world on plants and on members of the same species, including some markings on their wings and on flowers. Dr Santer said the team will be running behavioural experiments on different varieties of butterfly. This could see them picking between differently-coloured stimuli - for example, flowers of varying hues containing sugar rewards - in conditions with UV light and without. "It might be the butterflies are able to adjust in a glass house or it might be they are unable to," he added.

Question: They are one of nature 's great @placeholder of colour - but how does light and colour affect butterfly behaviour ?


Mark Munro, 31, and James Robertson, 27, are accused of killing Russell Robertson by pushing him over railings at Bainsford Bridge, Falkirk. It is alleged that they repeatedly punched Mr Robertson on the hands and prised his fingers from the bridge railings in May last year. Both men deny the charges. Kevin Gibney, who works at the nearby Warehouse nightclub in Falkirk, told prosecutor Alan Cameron: "When I was a bit away, I first thought it was toy fighting." He said he slowed down as he drove across the bridge because he was "nosey". Mr Gibney said: "I saw two guys hitting into one guy. That's one of the reasons I got out the car. "One of them was punching him about the head and shoulders." Mr Gibney said he stopped his car on the bridge about 10 to 15ft away from the incident. He said: "The young man was standing with his feet on a concrete platform and he was holding on to the railings. "I saw one of the guys was prising the guy's fingers off on one hand and the other guy was punching the other hand. "One minute he was there and the next he was gone. The two gentlemen ran across the road." Mr Gibney said he looked into the canal and searched the embankment but did not find anyone. Mr Gibney identified the two men as Mr Munro and Mr Robertson. The jury was shown CCTV footage taken in the car park at the Warehouse two minutes before Russsell Robertson disappeared at the bridge. Mr Gibney and two bouncers are seen to be approached by Mr Robertson, who speaks with them before leaving. Defence QC Derek Ogg, representing Mr Munro, said: "How can you, a security manager who is stone cold sober, who knows a man, and sees him two minutes before he disappears off a bridge not mention this to the police?" Mr Gibney replied: "I can't recall having any conversation." The trial at the High Court in Glasgow before Lady Carmichael continues.

The 24-year-old South African wing scored Dragons' only try against the Italian team, who had conceded eight against Ospreys a week earlier. "A win's a win and any fan base should be happy with that," said Howard. "We would like the supporters just to support us and not scrutinise everything we do." Dragons face a much tougher test in their next Pro12 game when Munster visit Rodney Parade on Saturday, 17 September. Howard, who joined the Welsh region from Northampton in the summer, spent three months with the Irish province in the 2014-15 season, making his debut at Rodney Parade. He said the win over Zebre was more important than the quality of the performance. "I understand that people have their opinions but at the end of the day it was four points - that's what we needed, that's what we were going for however it came about," he added. Media playback is not supported on this device "Every team makes mistakes and it's our responsibility to put it right and we're going to do that the best we can but we need the support instead of the scrutiny. "It brings a lot of negativity. "You want positive energy from the crowd. It spurs you on and makes you do better - makes you want to drive over the line and score that try, but when they're doing that it's a sapping kind of thing. "We're going to need the support (against Munster) because you feel like you're under pressure not only from the other team but from the crowd for all your decisions." Dragons finished third from bottom in the 2015-16 season - with only Zebre and fellow-Italian side Benetton Treviso below them. Coach Kingsley Jones conceded the performance against Zebre was unimpressive - coming a week after a 29-8 defeat by Ulster.

Rhona McKinlay said 84-year-old William was left "utterly humiliated" for hours at the Latimer Grange home with a circle drawn around his chair. The ex-prison officer said she had seen inmates treated better than her father. Home owner Anthony Lampitt was contacted by the BBC, but a solicitor and PR firm responded on his behalf. A spokesman for the home said it took "all allegations very seriously" and was "confident we provide a good standard of care". Northamptonshire County Council and Northamptonshire Police are investigating. Mrs McKinlay said her father also suffered bruising, flea bites and was not fed properly by carers at the home in Burton Latimer. She recorded all her concerns in a diary, in which she wrote: "Dad saturated in urine, sitting in chair, wet to his knees and up his back. "Anthony Lampitt drew a chalk ring around my Dad and made him sit back down. He was utterly humiliated." One former care worker, who did want to be named, told the BBC it had been her job to return Mr McKinlay to the chair. A chalk circle had been drawn around the furniture to alert others it had been soiled and required cleaning, which is common practice in homes. She said: "Mr Lampitt said to put him back there 'as he is not going to urinate everywhere else'. "He wanted to keep him there. That made me feel guilty. I felt like crying." Mrs McKinlay said matters reached a head when Mr Lampitt said her father was being put on a new drug. She said she denied him permission to do so, but was shocked to find he had told carers to administer the medication anyway. The home's spokesman said it was legally required to follow the advice given by GPs and community psychiatric nurses and it had a robust medicines management policy. Mrs McKinlay said on another occasion she found a large bruise on her father's stomach, but staff could not explain how it happened. "The weight was falling off my dad. At one point he was covered in flea bites. They had to have the place fumigated," she said. "They couldn't be bothered feeding him. He couldn't see the food put in front of him and doesn't have the mental capacity to eat properly himself. "It was terrible." The carer said if there was a shortage of meals on a specific day food "would not [be given] to residents with dementia as they would not remember". Another member of staff, who also wanted to remain anonymous, alleged residents were left for months without being bathed. "One time we took [William's] top off and he had 16 flea bites because there was a cat in the home," she said. The care home said pets were allowed on the premises to provide a "home-away-from-home care experience" but pro-active flea treatment was undertaken. They added there had been times the home had been "unable to meet" Mr McKinlay's care needs. "Our home is not equipped to support individuals suffering from advanced sight and hearing loss, as well as challenging aggressive behaviours." Mrs McKinlay said her father had been crying when she visited and had since moved to a different care home. "The guilt was killing me," she said. "Sometimes now my dad says, 'please don't make me go back to the bad place'." The council said prior to the launch of its investigation into Mrs McKinlay's concerns, it had suspended new admissions to Latimer Grange after a routine contract monitoring visit. The home said it was working with the authority on a number of actions and the "health, welfare and safety" of residents was "our primary focus." A council spokesman said it was aware of the issues raised by Mr McKinlay's family about the quality of care at the home. "We are working closely with the private care home provider and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to investigate those concerns," they added. In light of Mrs McKinlay's concerns, the CQC inspected the care home in February but found standards were good. A CQC spokeswoman said it had shared details of the complaint with the home and the authority and all "had been subject to safeguarding alerts". She added: "We are continuing to monitor this service." Mr Lampitt previously owned two other care homes, the Da-Mar Residential Care Home in Northampton and Clifton Residential Home in Rushden. Both were wound-up due to financial problems and had been told they required improvement following inspections.

Ann Beynon said other measures, such as sponsorship and teaching women entering business how to deal with discrimination, are also important. The latest figures show almost 24% of board positions in the leading British companies are held by women - up from 12.5% in 2011. She said: "It's getting better, but there's a long way to go." The European Union has been pushing for legislation to force firms to have at least 40% of their boards made up of women. Ms Beynon said everybody has the "the responsibility to make sure that woman are not disadvantaged" but added that quotas can be a "negative force". "I think you need a whole shelf of different solutions," she added. These include managers sponsoring women to help their careers and preparing them for the discrimination they can face in workplaces, in order to make them "more prepared to fight those battles". Ms Beynon leaves BT this week after 17 years and has dismissed rumours she plans to stand for a seat in May's Assembly elections. Instead, she said she plans to stay in the private sector to help grow the Welsh economy.

The 2014 winner Pineau De Re was among those to miss the cut for the famous Aintree race. Lower-rated horses are balloted out, with The Romford Pele occupying the number 40 slot. There were no withdrawals in Thursday's final declaration stage. Four reserves are on standby should any runner pull out before 13:00 BST on Friday. Download your sweepstake kit here Pinstickers' guide Many Clouds is 7-1 favourite ahead of 10-1 chance The Last Samuri and 12-1 shot Silviniaco Conti. Coverage of the race, over 30 fences and nearly four-and-a-half miles, is expected to be followed by 600 million people worldwide. Organisers have put back the time of the race by an hour to 17:15 BST in an effort to further increase the audience. The National is a handicap chase, with each runner allotted a different weight to carry by the official handicapper Phil Smith. Some trainers are faced with the tricky task of trying to ensure their contenders perform well enough to get a rating which guarantees a run, without landing a big weight that hampers their chances. Pineau De Re is now in the twilight of his career, at the age of 13, and his rating has dropped. No horse of that age has won the National since Sergeant Murphy in 1923. The British Horseracing Authority has indicated it is open to reviewing the entry system ahead of next year's National. Top weight Many Clouds will seek to become the first horse since the legendary triple victor Red Rum in the 1970s to win back-to-back runnings. Victory would see jockey Leighton Aspell, who also triumphed aboard Pineau De Re two years ago, become the first rider to win three years running. Media playback is not supported on this device Officials believe modifications to the fences, and other alterations, introduced three years ago have helped improve safety. Since the changes, there have been no fatal injuries in the National itself, although two horses died in other races at the three-day meeting last year.

South Wales Police recorded the highest number of incidents while the biggest rise was seen in Dyfed-Powys where the number jumped by 52%. The data for July to September 2016 was compiled by the Press Association. Police say their own monitoring suggests incidents have levelled out after the summer's spike. Both the South Wales and Dyfed-Powys forces saw their highest quarterly figure since comparable records began in April 2012. The figures, following the referendum on 23 June, are for all forces in England and Wales and cover five core crimes which are deemed to be racially or religiously aggravated, ranging from assaults through to criminal damage. Only four forces - all in England - reported a decrease on the previous three months. Assistant Chief Constable Mark Hamilton, the National Police Chiefs' Council's lead for hate crime, said: "We know that national and global events have the potential to trigger short-terms rises in hate crime and we saw this following the EU referendum last year. "Police forces took a robust approach to these crimes and reporting returned to previously seen levels. "These numbers are still far too high. We have increased the central reporting and monitoring functions to enable us to recognise spikes earlier. This will be used to assess any threats that may arise and inform local police activity."

An aerial was attached to the back of eight turtles by scientists using satellite technology to monitor the species' habits. The project found one travelled from the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean to the coast of Somalia in east Africa. It is believed to be the furthest green sea turtle migration recorded. The Swansea scientists, collaborating with colleagues in Australia and the Seychelles, were investigating the effectiveness of marine protected areas which have been set up by governments around the world over the last decade to improve conservation and protect species and biodiversity from damage and disturbance. Published in the latest issue of Conservation Biology, the research team found The study focused on the green sea turtles which breed on the Chagos Islands in the Chagos Archipelago which became a protected area in 2010, according to Prof Graeme Hays from the College of Science at Swansea University. "The message from this research is that networks of small protected areas need to be developed alongside larger ones so species which migrate over long distances can stay in safe zones for as much time as possible," he said. GREEN SEA TURTLE FACTS Source: National Geographic Nicole Esteban, a Swansea University researcher who has worked on the project, said: "Green sea turtles are an iconic species and their welfare tells us a lot about the health of our oceans. "They forage in seagrass meadows which are being depleted because of pollution and other man-made causes. "Our study helps determine the location of these important habitats, and also highlights the need to protect seagrass meadows, and make a network of small marine protected areas (MPAs)." Last year, the Welsh government withdrew plans for 10 marine conservation zones in favour of exploring changes to 125 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) that cover 36% of Welsh seas.

Richard Scott, the 10th Duke of Buccleuch, gave evidence at the Court of Session in Edinburgh, where he is challenging a ?¡ê4.25m legal action. Marshall Ronald claims the duke owes him the sum for recovering the artwork. Madonna of the Yardwinder was taken from the duke's family home, Drumlanrig Castle, near Thornhill, in 2003. The Leonardo Da Vinci painting was recovered in 2007 after Mr Ronald, of Upholland, Lancashire, sent a message to an undercover officer stating: "The Lady is coming home". Three years later the former lawyer was cleared of conspiring to extort money for its return at the High Court in Edinburgh. Mr Ronald claims in the civil action that the duke provided a letter of authority confirming that the officer, known as John Craig, acted as his agent in the recovery of the painting and was authorised to conduct negotiations. He contends that the ?¡ê4.25m was the amount agreed to be paid to him for his role in securing the return of the masterpiece and that the agreement was made by Craig acting on behalf of the Duke. The duke maintained in the action that Craig had no actual authority to enter any agreement or negotiate on his behalf. It is said the letter of authority was requested by the police as part of their undercover operation and was designed to support John Craig's undercover persona. Giving evidence in court, the duke said he first became aware of an undercover operation mounted by the police in 2006. He said he was informed that a man by the name of Brown had convinced the police that he had seen the painting and possibly had access to it. He said he was asked by an officer to have a phone conversation with him which he did. "I knew I had to act out a role," he said. He added: "I was an actor in a process which they were devising and creating." The judge, Lord Brailsford, reserved his decision in the case.

He told Fox News that the Democratic Party was using the row over his remarks to deflect from bigger issues. His remarks on Wednesday were regarding 30,000 emails Mrs Clinton did not hand over as part of an inquiry into a private email server. Russia has accused the candidates of stirring up anti-Russian sentiment. "Of course I'm being sarcastic," Mr Trump told Fox News. His campaign has maintained pressure on Mrs Clinton over an FBI investigation into her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state. During the investigation, Mrs Clinton did not hand over 30,000 emails as they contained private details. On Wednesday, Mr Trump told a news conference: "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you'll be rewarded mightily by our press." He later wrote on Twitter that if anyone had the emails, they should hand them over to the FBI. Jake Sullivan, Mrs Clinton's senior policy adviser, reacted angrily to Mr Trump's remarks. "This has gone from being a matter of curiosity, and a matter of politics, to being a national security issue," he said on Wednesday. The row came as Russia was accused of hacking emails from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for Mr Trump's benefit. Both Russia and Mr Trump denied the allegation. Those emails were leaked to the Wikileaks organisation and published last Friday. In his interview with Fox, Mr Trump said: "The real problem is what was said on those emails from the Democratic National Committee. "What they said on those emails is a disgrace and they're just trying to deflect from that." The emails showed DNC officials, who are supposed to remain neutral, had favoured Mrs Clinton and derided her Democratic rival Bernie Sanders. President Barack Obama has refused to rule out Russian involvement in the leak, adding: "What we do know is that the Russians hack our systems. Not just government systems, but private systems." Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the hacking allegations were a "vivid example of the use of anti-Russian sentiment for electoral purposes in the United States". "It is so absurd it borders on total stupidity," he said. "As regards these (DNC email) batches, that is not our headache. We never poke our noses into others' affairs and we really don't like it when people try to poke their nose into ours." He added: "The Americans needs to get to the bottom of what these emails are themselves and find out what it's all about."

Across Ghana, the irreversible effects of child malnutrition can be seen among thousands of children affected during their critical first 1,000 days of life. This is the time in a child's life that will determine their health as adults, their ability to learn in school and to perform in future jobs. A group of photographers and researchers organised by Ubelong went to Ghana to uncover the complex stories behind this problem. Nana has been the chief of the farming community of Bentum for 35 years, although two years ago he sold most of the farming land in the area to a developer. As a result, most local villagers lost their livelihoods, and now struggle to feed their families. The signs previously used to identify farm boundaries lie discarded by the road. "I am very proud to be the chief," he says. "It's not easy. No-one will take my land. I know my people in Bentum cannot farm anymore. "But whatever you do for food, is on you." While at home with her mother, Kate tells the story of how one of her daughters died aged two. Ever since her husband died, a decade ago, she has struggled to find work and take care of her four children. They are malnourished and often get sick as they eat only banku, a Ghanaian dish of fermented corn and cassava dough. "God took my two-year old daughter. She was not feeling well, so I put her to bed. Later that evening, there was a bad storm," she says. "The sky was loud and angry. I heard an explosion in the clouds. When I went to check on my baby, she was dead. I believe the thunder killed my baby." Hannah stands surrounded by the yellow buckets of rainwater she collected the night before. She never attended school, and started working at a very early age as a fishmonger. She is married to a fisherman who is often away for weeks. "My kitchen is empty. I have no food," she says. "My children don't even eat the little food I give them. I don't know about malnutrition. I just pray my children become great people". Rebecca's children receive over-the-counter medical remedies from the local shop, instead of professional healthcare at the hospital. Like many women in the village, Rebecca doesn't receive much support from the father of her children. She feels she has nowhere to turn. "Women don't support each other here, it's not something we do." Beatrice and Joy are in charge of the childcare and malnutrition unit at the Kasoa Clinic. A few community nurses cover an area with more than 30,000 people, and Beatrice estimates only about 20% of the malnourished children are brought to this clinic. "Women with malnourished children have problems that they cannot openly discuss with friends or family. There is a stigma associated with having a malnourished child," she says. "So, we mostly identify malnutrition cases by talking to neighbours. Our most important job is to provide a safe environment to counsel them about their children, so that they don't feel embarrassed about bringing them here. "But our effort is just a drop in the ocean." Christy stands with her youngest daughter besides the farm where she used to work in Bentum, a community plagued by poverty and child malnutrition. When the village chief, Nana Agya Kwao, sold all the farming land in the community, it meant she could no longer work. "No-one here can access their farms. I was able to feed my four children before, but there is no food anymore and no jobs in this village," she says. "I struggle to earn a quarter of what I made before." Mary holds a bottle of glucose that a nurse gave her at the clinic, to combat the malnutrition symptoms of her newborn baby. She could not breastfeed her son, who was very small at birth. Despite giving glucose to her baby, he died six weeks later, at just two months old. Local tradition mandates that when a baby dies of malnutrition, the baby is taken away. Mary and her husband were not allowed to attend their son's funeral.

Media playback is not supported on this device The challenger was game but his fellow American, defending his WBC and WBA welterweight titles, was simply too difficult to hit at the MGM Grand. Mayweather, 38, was awarded the verdict 120-108, 118-110 and 117-111. Mayweather was adamant it was his last fight, but having equalled Rocky Marciano's career record of 49-0, he might decide to have one more. "My career is over, that's official," said five-weight world champion Mayweather, widely regarded as the greatest fighter of his generation. "You've got to know when to hang them up. I'm close to 40 now. There's nothing left to prove in the sport of boxing. Now I just want to spend time with my family. "I am leaving the sport with all my faculties, I'm still sharp and smart. I've accomplished everything in this sport, there's nothing else to accomplish." The 32-year-old Berto is a two-time welterweight world champion and came into the fight having lost only three of his 33 professional bouts. But those three defeats came in his previous six contests and pretty much nobody gave him a chance against Mayweather, who was engaging in his 26th world title fight and whose unbeaten streak goes back to 1996. The pattern for the fight, as with so many of Mayweather's previous fights, was set in the opening round, the champion establishing his lightning jab and repeatedly making Berto miss. Mayweather went on the back foot in the second but Berto was chasing shadows, before the champion came out punching in the third, catching his rival cold with a snapping left hook. After the first nine minutes of action Berto had barely laid a glove on Mayweather, and Mayweather made the challenger's knees sag with a flashing overhand right with a minute left in the fourth. Berto continued to venture forward in the fifth but even when he managed to manoeuvre Mayweather onto the ropes, he was unable to land with any meaningful blows. Berto might have done enough to win the sixth and certainly won the seventh, during which he landed with a clubbing left hook. Mayweather was happy to coast through the eighth, winning it on the back foot while drawing boos from the crowd as he mugged on the ropes. A fight broke out towards the end of the ninth, with both men trading blows on the bell, and the rivals were broken apart and warned for trading words in the 10th. Mayweather looked like he might open up in the 11th, landing with a cute uppercut, but he was showboating again towards the end of the round. And the fact there were boos ringing around the arena as the final round was drawing to a close rather summed up Mayweather's career - to many he is a genius, but he leaves many more boxing fans cold. Mayweather made $34m (¡ê22m) for his latest outing but few expect him to fulfil his promise to retire. MGM's new arena opens next April and a rematch against Manny Pacquiao, whom Mayweather beat in May in the richest fight in history, or against the winner of Miguel Cotto-Saul Alvarez might prove too tempting to turn down. Speaking in a 45-minute post-fight news conference, Mayweather said: "I had a game plan from the very beginning. I always knew what I wanted to do - be outspoken, be one of a kind. To be in the sport for 19 years and to be world champion for 18 years, I've had a remarkable career. "It's all about that IQ. I'm 10 steps ahead of any fighter, I take whatever is your best attribute and take that away from you, make you do what you don't want to do. "Every champion - Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Larry Holmes, the list goes on and on - they opened up the doors and paved the way for where I am today and I'm appreciative. "But now the young fighters say, 'We want to be like Mayweather'. It's not cool to take punishment in the ring. I'm not perfect but I strived to be a perfectionist."

The Civil Aviation Authority said such planes would be "limited to flypasts", and all Hawker Hunter jets have been temporarily grounded. At least 11 people died after a Hawker Hunter crashed into traffic on the A27 in West Sussex on Saturday. Sussex Police have named another victim as Maurice Abrahams of Brighton. Mr Abrahams' family released a tribute to the 76-year-old chauffeur, who was a former soldier and police officer. "Maurice is a well-respected and loved father and husband," the statement said. "He enjoyed his work chauffeuring his beloved Daimler car and he enjoyed gardening." Meanwhile, the plane wreckage has been removed by crane and no further victims have been found, Sussex Police said. Assistant Chief Constable Steve Barry added: "However, until we have fully completed the search of what is an extensive scene, I must caution that there is still the possibility that we may discover evidence of further victims..." Police have also said that more than 200 people have called in to report concerns for missing relatives or friends since the incident. A spokesman for the CAA said the flying restrictions would remain in place until further notice, and it would be conducting "additional risk assessments on all forthcoming civil air displays". Since the restrictions were announced a host of air shows have been forced to alter their schedules. The regulator stressed that individual display pilots were only granted approval to fly "following a thorough test of their abilities". Andrew Hill, the pilot of the crashed jet, has been put in medically-induced coma after being pulled from the wreckage. The 51-year-old from Sandon, near Buntingford in Hertfordshire, suffered multiple injuries and is in a critical condition. Mr Hill was set to fly the plane at the Battle of Britain 75th anniversary show in Duxford, Cambridgeshire, the Imperial War Museum (IWM) said. A spokeswoman for the museum said the event would still take place on 19 and 20 September, but it would be "revised" following the tragedy. Similarly, Dartmouth Royal Regatta in Devon - which features an air display - will go ahead from Thursday but the routine of a Strikemaster jet has been restricted. Shoreham air crash: The victims Meanwhile, the Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA), which organises Shoreham Airshow, has defended the event's safety record. "The team at Shoreham have many years of experience in running air shows throughout the UK and all aircraft have to be certificated and all pilots authorised by the CAA before they are allowed to undertake display routines at any air show," a spokesman said. West Sussex coroner Penny Schofield warned that work to identify the victims would be a "slow and painstaking operation" as she appealed for the public's "patience and understanding". She said it may take "several weeks" before all investigations were completed. "The fire was so intense and the scale of the damage so vast, it means that we must very carefully remove the remains in a way that will lead to a formal identification," she added. The A27 will need major repairs as a result of the impact of the crash, and is expected to be shut for several days. Books of condolence have been opened and the flag is flying at half-mast at County Hall in Chichester. Two of the victims were amateur footballers and the Football League has announced that a minute's silence will be observed prior to all Capital One Cup Round 2 matches on Tuesday and Wednesday as a mark of respect to all those who died. Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin has offered his condolences to those who have died. He said: "The government is offering its full support to both the Civil Aviation Authority and the Air Accidents Investigation Branch to ensure everything possible is being done to find out what happened and ensure air displays take place safely and follow the highest standards." Saturday's crash is the second incident at the Shoreham Airshow, one of the premier air shows in the UK, in recent years. In September 2007 James Bond stuntman Brian Brown, 49, died when he crashed a World War Two Hurricane after carrying out an unplanned barrel roll at a re-enactment of the Battle of Britain.

Whatever the reason, since time immemorial many have feared Fridays and thirteens. But why did the two fears come together to create a superstition with a life of its own, marked throughout the English-speaking world? Not for any mystical reasons, it seems. "From the astrological point of view there is no need to be concerned about Friday 13th ," says Robert Currey of Equinox Astrology. Dates and days of the week used to be closely related to planetary movements and phases of the moon in a system dating back to the Babylonians, he says, but that's not the case any more. Sonia Ducie is a numerology consultant who believes strongly in the innate energy of numbers - 13 is "all to do with transformation and change" she says, and she counts Friday as the fifth day, associated with movement. "You can see how with those two numbers together, it could be very restless," she says, but adds: "It's down to us; the energy's neutral." Why did the combined superstition arise, then? In 1907 a book called Friday, the Thirteenth was published, by a stock promoter called Thomas Lawson. It was the inspiration for the Friday 13th mythology which culminated in the lurid film and TV franchises starting in the 1980s. Lawson's book is a dark fable of Wall Street whose central character ruthlessly engineers booms and busts in the market to work revenge on his enemies, leaving misery and ruin in his wake. In it he takes advantage of the jitters which the date Friday 13th could be relied on to produce in the market traders. "Every man on the floor and in the Street as well has his eye on it. Friday, the 13th, would break the best bull market ever under way," one character says. So in 1907 fear of that date was already an established superstition. A quarter century before, it was not. The Thirteen Club, a gathering of jolly gents determined to defy all superstitions, first met on 13 September 1881 (a Wednesday) though it was formally organised on Friday, 13 January 1882. They met on the 13th of the month, sat 13 to a table, broke mirrors and spilled salt with exuberance and walked in to dinner under crossed ladders. The club's annual reports carefully noted how many of its members had died, and how many of these passed away within a year of attending a club dinner. It was founded by Captain William Fowler - of whom it was said that everyone associated him with "good fellowship, a big heart, and simple, unostentatious charity" - at his Knickerbocker Cottage restaurant on Manhattan's Sixth Avenue. As club marshal he "always gallantly and fearlessly led to the banqueting hall," reported the club's "chief ruler" Daniel Wolff. The New York Times reported that at the first meeting the 13th diner was late, and Fowler dragooned one of the waiters to make up the unlucky number: "Despite his howls he wasa€| just being shoved through the ladders when the missing guest arrived." The first target of the club was the fear that if 13 people dined together one would soon die. But a second superstition soon followed. In April 1882 it adopted a resolution deploring the fact that Friday had "for many centuries past, been considered an unlucky day... on unreasonable grounds" and the club sent a call to the President, state governors and judges to stop picking on Friday as "hanging day" and hold executions on other days too. But of a joint Friday 13th superstition there is no sign at the club's foundation. It appeared some time between 1882 and the publication of Lawson's book in 1907. Could that be the club's own fault? It took every opportunity of bringing its two prime targets together to ridicule them, the Los Angeles Herald reported in 1895: "Whenever, during the past 13 years Friday has fallen on the 13th of the month this peculiar organisation has never failed to hold a special meeting for rejoicing." The club prided itself that it had put superstition in the spotlight. Its fame was great: the original 13 members had grown to hundreds by the turn of the century and similar clubs were founded in cities across the States. London's Thirteen Club had been founded by 1894, when a music hall song about it appeared. "Two of these vulgar superstitions you have combated resolutely and without flinching," club scribe Charles Sotheran wrote to the New York members in 1883, "namely the belief in 13 being an unlucky number, and Friday an unlucky day. You have created a popular sentiment in favour of them both." Sotheran must have meant "made Fridays and 13 less unpopular", but his sentence is ambiguous and it could just as well have meant "made the superstitions popular".  So was it this interpretation which established the superstition in public opinion? The Thirteen Club's doctrine was "that superstition should be assailed and combated and driven off the earth". If instead it generated one of the most widespread and persistent superstitions of all, that was an unlucky accident indeed.

David Kittos, 48, from Guildford, UK, woke up to find an image he had posted to Flickr in January 2010 had become embroiled in a political controversy. "This was not done with my permission, I don't support his politics and I would never take his money to use it," Mr Kittos told the BBC. "In 1974, when I was six-years old, I was a refugee from the Turkish occupation of Cyprus so I would never approve the use of this image against refugees." In his tweet, the son of the Republican presidential candidate uses Mr Kittos' image with the accompanying text: "If I had a bowl of skittles and I told you just three would kill you, would you take a handful?'' "That's our Syrian refugee problem." He adds: "This image says it all. Let's end the politically correct agenda that doesn't put America first." Wrigley, the company that owns Skittles, stepped in to the furore by responding: "Skittles are candy. Refugees are people. We don't feel it is an appropriate analogy". David Kittos, who does not follow Twitter, was alerted to the use of the image by friends. A keen photographer, he told the BBC he originally took the picture in his home studio: "I was just experimenting with something called off-camera flash. "This was six years ago when there were no Syrian refugees at the time and it was never done with the intention of spreading a political message. "I have never put this image up for sale. This was not done with my permission, I don't support Trump's politics and I would never take his money to use it." Mr Kittos' personal history means he is particularly dismayed by his image being used in a debate around accepting refugees. "I am now a British citizen but I am Greek-Cypriot by birth and in 1974 I was a refugee because of the Turkish occupation. "I was six years old. We lived in the area of Cyprus that is now under Turkish military control. We had to leave everything behind overnight. Our property and our possessions." Mr Kittos is unsure whether he will take action over the use of his image by the Trump campaign. "I would like the Trump campaign to delete the image, but they are probably not interested in what I have to say," he said. "I was thinking about getting lawyers involved but I don't know if I have the patience. "This isn't about the money for me. They could have just bought a cheap image from a micro stock library. This is pure greed from them. I don't think they care about my feelings. They should not be stealing an image full stop."

Fans have taken to the winger, 20, who has made nine appearances following his move from Aston Villa in August. However, only five have been starts and he played just nine minutes as a sub against Southampton on Sunday. "With him on the pitch, after 20 seconds Southampton had a chance," Karanka told BBC Tees. "That's the sort of thing that people don't see." Karanka added: "I have to check every single thing, I know he had an impact, but Adama's game can't be a highlight of 40 seconds, it's got to be 90 minutes." The Spanish forward, born to Malian parents, began his career at Barcelona and made four first-team appearances before his ¡ê7m switch to Villa Park in August 2015. Boro, who have scored a division-lowest 13 goals in 15 games, are waiting on the return of versatile forward Gaston Ramirez and striker Alvaro Negredo from injury. Whether either feature on Wednesday against Liverpool, or are potentially rested until the visit of Swansea on Saturday, is a quandary for Karanka. "It's a balance, to try not to take risks but to put the best players on the pitch," the Spaniard added. "I can't reserve a player for Saturday thinking that they're not ready to play on Wednesday, because this is an important game for us. "I will try to put out the best 11 [for Liverpool] thinking they're the best for that game, not thinking about risk of playing on Saturday."

He did not have any visitors on Friday after doctors advised him to rest, but his family are said to have been in contact by phone. The 91-year-old Duke of Edinburgh was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary on Wednesday from Balmoral. The Queen left Balmoral for a few hours on Friday, the first time she has been seen in public for a couple of days. She drove herself out of the gates of the estate in a Range Rover, returning later in a convoy that included the Earl and Countess of Wessex. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Defence has confirmed an RAF helicopter was scrambled to take the duke to hospital on Wednesday, but its efforts to land near a road were thwarted by fog. A spokesman said it was eventually decided it would be quicker to complete the 50-mile journey by road. It is the duke's third hospital stay in nine months. He spent four days in hospital over Christmas, following an operation to clear a blocked heart artery. And after attending events to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in June, Prince Philip was admitted to hospital for five nights, missing several days of festivities after sustaining the original bladder infection.

Asylum seekers in Middlesbrough told The Times eggs and stones had been thrown at their houses because the doors made them easy to identify. The immigration minister said he was "deeply concerned" about the issue. G4S said there was no policy to house asylum seekers behind red doors but its subcontractor would be repainting them. The Times visited 168 houses in Middlesbrough owned by Jomast, a sub contractor for the global security firm G4S, and found 155 had red doors. Is Middlesbrough the UK's Germany? BBC correspondent Andy Moore said it was thought the door colour may have been a convenient way for the company to identify its properties. Former local councillor Suzanne Fletcher told the BBC's Today programme she had raised the issue with G4S as far back as 2012 but was told the company would not ask Jomast to repaint the doors. She went on to submit evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee, Public Accounts Committee and National Audit Office. She said: "Over four years ago when I was working with groups of asylum seekers, they were worried it marked them out and were worried about attacks." The charity Refugee Council said it "has long held concerns about the quality and security of asylum accommodation". It added: "The government must not tolerate its contractors taking a lax attitude towards housing these vulnerable people. Such an approach is clearly jeopardising their safety." G4S said Jomast had no policy to house asylum seekers behind red doors but accepted the majority of doors, both for private and asylum accommodation, were painted red. Immigration minister James Brokenshire said he had commissioned an urgent Home Office audit of asylum seeker housing in the North East. He said: "I expect the highest standards from our contractors. If we find any evidence of discrimination against asylum seekers it will be dealt with immediately as any such behaviour will not be tolerated." G4S said in a statement: "Although we have received no complaints or requests on this issue from asylum seekers we house, in light of the concerns raised Jomast has agreed to address the issue by repainting front doors in the area so that there is no predominant colour. "Our asylum accommodation is inspected frequently by the Home Office and has been found to meet the required standards."

The number of holidaymakers coming to the UK rose by 21.1% - although the number of business visitors declined. Overall there were a record 8.3 million visits in the quarter, a rise of nearly 10% on the same period in 2016. The visitors spent ¡ê4.4bn while in the country, also a record amount. But at the same time the fall in the value of the pound did not discourage Britons from travelling overseas. UK residents made 14.1 million trips abroad over the three months, a rise of 8.1% on 2016. The decline in sterling makes it cheaper for foreign visitors to come to the UK, but more expensive for Britons going the other way. The number of American visitors was particularly significant. Their numbers were up by 16%, while their spending grew 29% to ¡ê604m. There were a record 54,000 visits from Chinese nationals, who spent a record ¡ê91m, and there was strong growth in the number of Australian and French visitors too. Wales appears to have been one of the most popular destinations, with the number of overnight visits increasing by 28%. But the "visitor balance of payments" remains tilted against the UK. While visitors spent ¡ê4.4bn in Britain over the quarter, Britons spent nearly twice as much - ¡ê8.6bn - on trips abroad. a figure that has risen by 11.7% over the past year.

The 2015 summer transfer window was as dramatic as any. BBC Sport takes a look at some of the stories of the summer - and retells them in road signs. Follow the escape lane previously used by Otamendi, Pedro, Ramos and pick another club. Manchester United is not your summer destination. The Reds were unsuccessful in a number of transfer bids this summer. Fans of New York FC must be hoping the club's decision to sign Frank Lampard and Andrea Pirlo does not backfire. The former joined from Chelsea, aged 37, while Pirlo, 36, was signed from Juventus. 'Get out of the way Manchester United, Chelsea are coming through. The Reds may rue allowing Chelsea to overtake them in the pursuit of Barcelona forward Pedro. Aston Villa fans probably weren't best pleased by Fabian Delph's U-turn over his decision to turn down Manchester City and stay at Villa Park. The England midfielder declared his loyalty to the Midlands club before changing his mind and moving to the Etihad. Watford have made 15 summer signings and Notts County have made 19, so there may be a queue to get in the first team. Several clubs - including West Brom, Southampton and Everton - held firm to fend off significant interest in players. Beware falling out with your club, it could come back to haunt you. Saido Berahino has suggested he might not play for West Brom again under chairman Jeremy Peace, after the Baggies turned down a fourth bid for him from Tottenham.

Manager Lee Clark signed 17 players during the summer, 13 from clubs in Redcar-born Jones' English homeland. The 22-year-old joined Kilmarnock after being released by Middlesbrough, where his girlfriend has remained. "It's hard being away from your family, but you just have to look to the next game," said the midfielder. "It's been easier with everyone in the same boat. There are not many lads who were here last year." Several players live in the same apartment building close to Rugby Park, with Jones sharing with Jonathan Burn, the defender on loan from Middlesbrough but presently sidelined through injury. Kilmarnock have three more outings in a seven-game run of fixtures during December - against St Johnstone on Friday, Hearts on 27 December and Partick Thistle on New Year's Eve - before Jones can experience for the first time a January winter break. The Premiership sides do not return to action until the Scottish Cup fourth round on 21 January. "We have had no time to get home because of all the games, but you have to live with it and it's not the worst job in the world at the end of the day," said Jones, who has made 21 appearances so far. "We're always dead close to each another and we all just chill out together. "I was sharing an apartment with Jonny Burn, but he's gone back to Boro and I'm by myself. "I am looking forward to the rest and spending some time with my family, but I'm just concentrating on the football." Jones, who failed to make a first-team appearance with Boro, had loan spells with Hartlepool United and Cambridge United before joining Kilmarnock and is delighted to be featuring regularly in the starting line-up. "At the start, I was in and out of the team, but I've been in now for about 10 games, so I am really enjoying playing every week," he said. "It is a lot easier to settle when you are playing all the time because you are focused on the next game. "I needed first-team football. I am 22 now, so that's the best thing and I am getting it." Jones believes that working under Clark has improved him as a footballer already. "Off the ball, the gaffer has helped me massively," he explained. "I think, before, I just never used to concentrate off the ball. "Saturday, I didn't have my best game on the ball, but I worked really hard off it. That is where I have improved in the last few months."

The Great Scottish Run on 1-2 October includes a 10K, a half marathon and Super Saturday - a family fun day. Running motivation: Keen hill walker John Mulgrew almost lost his life while out climbing in Kintail in the north west of Scotland in 2009. A few errors led to a wrong route and a fall, and the 69-year-old was left unconscious. He always kept in touch with his family when he was out walking and they raised the alarm when they couldn't reach him. When John was discovered by mountain rescue teams he had been unconscious for seven hours, his temperature had dropped to a dangerous level and he was in a critical condition. Although suffering hypothermia, the only other injury John suffered was a broken bone at the bottom of his back. Now fully recovered, John is running a half marathon to raise funds for one of the organisations which saved his life. John says: "SARDA (Search and Rescue Dogs Association) was one of the teams that saved my life. I simply wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the rescue dogs and the brilliant work of all the mountain rescue teams. "I want to do as much as I can to raise funds and awareness for them." Running for: The Search and Rescue Dog Association Scotland Running motivation: Kirsten Koh, 36, thought she'd never walk again after a cycling accident. Five years ago the keen triathlete was training in her native country Singapore with her partner Orla Gilmore when she was hit by a lorry. She was dragged underneath its chassis and broke her pelvis, both femurs, and several other bones. She spent three months in hospital and a further seven months in a wheelchair. As her body gradually got stronger she kept challenging herself to swim longer and cycle further. Her first 'race' after her accident was the Singapore Sundown Marathon in 2012, which took her 10? hours to walk. Despite now walking with a limp and dealing with ongoing pain, Kirsten says she is pretty fit and healthy. She now works to help injured athletes and people who have faced life-threatening illnesses. She says: "I have come back strong and I am grateful for that. "Because of my experience, I have a different perspective on life and death and now I want to give something back." Running motivation: When former army officer John Owens had his first stroke he was in his early 20s and he thought it was a hangover. But when he was 38 he suffered his second stroke. A blood clot had become lodged in his brain, and further tests confirmed it was as a result of a hole in his heart, which he had been born with. John was left with a brain injury, which can make processing information more difficult. He also faces the possibility of further strokes. At his lowest point, he was walking on crutches, and thought he'd never walk properly again. After being discharged from the army, he also had to adjust back into civilian life. Now 42, he enjoys running, which has helped him get out of the house and make new friends. John says:  "I needed to find something to get me motivated and keep me going, because you could easily find yourself getting secluded in your own house. "Nothing is stopping me from doing what I want to do. My problems have been identified and I have strategies to cope. "But having a positive mental attitude definitely helps. What's happened has happened, I don't mope about it, I just want to get out there." Running for: Chest, Heart & Stroke Running motivation: At his heaviest, Robert Fleming weighed just over 20 stone. After the death of his gran when he was 18, he became the full-time carer for his mum, who has learning disabilities. Robert, who also has learning disabilities, found himself battling depression. He stayed indoors, ate badly, played on his computer through the night, and slept most of the day. However, something clicked after the death of his dog - a collie called Max - and he decided things needed to change. In 2013, he rehomed seven-year-old black labrador Tiki. He met other dog walkers, made friends and started to love his life. Then, after being inspired by runners at the London marathon, he started running. He now trains with Forfar Road Runners and ran his first marathon earlier this year. Over the past three years, Robert has lost 9st. He still has bad days due to depression and he gets support from mental health charity Penumbra. He says: "I keep all my old photos and when I look at them I think - where's that person? "It's like I have a new life, and if I have had a bad day I look at them and think I've come too far to go back there. "I've managed to sort my life out and getting Tiki was a huge part of that. I'd be lost without him." Running for: Mental health charity Penumbra
