The ruling means Ms Park becomes the first democratically elected president to be removed from office, and could face prosecution over corruption allegations. So what does this mean for the country? The constitutional court backed an impeachment vote by parliament last December. It said the now ex-president's actions had "betrayed the people's confidence" and were "a grave violation of law, which cannot be tolerated". Those actions were her alleged collusion with her close friend, Choi Soon-sil, to pressure South Korean companies into essentially buying favourable treatment from the government. Ms Choi, who held no public office, also had extraordinary access to official documents, even editing some of Ms Park's speeches. Ms Park has not had any presidential powers since December, when parliament voted to impeach her. An election must now be held within 60 days, and the candidates have been waiting in the wings. The new president will have to handle a public which has lost trust in the office, and come up with ways to stop such alleged abuses happening in the future. Many South Korean analysts question whether Ms Park's conservative bloc will recover in time to post a viable threat to the Democrats. Hwang Kyo-ahn has been acting president, but is not seen as a likely contender as he is too closely linked to the Park administration. Moon Jae-in, the former head of the opposition Democratic Party, is one possible frontrunner. He lost to Park in the 2012 election and has been gaining popularity during throughout the impeachment scandal. That is looking highly likely.  Ms Park will now come under intense scrutiny from prosecutors, with no presidential immunity to protect her. If she does go on trial, it will be over a case linked to one of her few close relationships. Her friend Ms Choi is already on trial for a string of corruption offences, as is the de facto head of Samsung, one of the companies alleged to have funnelled money through Ms Choi's charitable foundations to win political favour. Everyone involved denies doing anything wrong. The case has rocked South Korea's business world, with the chiefs of Samsung and the national pension fund implicated in corruption. The scale of alleged bribery is colossal. Samsung alone is accused of paying bribes of 41bn won ($36m; ?¡ê29m) to non-profit foundations operated by Ms Choi. Heads of other big family-run conglomerates - known locally as chaebol - have also been questioned but not charged over donations given to similar foundations. And some of the specifics, including Samsung admitting it spent about $1m on a horse for Ms Choi's daughter, have shocked Koreans. But these are huge global companies. There is nothing so far to suggest that customers are turning away from them in South Korea, let alone around the world. Just this week, Samsung was confirmed as having comfortably held its title as world's biggest seller of smartphones in 2016. Not bad in a year where its highest profile launch had to be recalled after batteries caught fire. Realistically, a far bigger economic threat now are measures Beijing has taken in response to Seoul's decision to allow a US anti-missile system to be installed. They include closing down South Korean businesses in China and discouraging Chinese tourists form visiting South Korea. Despite this shock, South Korea remains a stable democracy and economic powerhouse, so its relationships are unlikely to change. In many ways, the peaceful nature of the impeachment protests and the strength of rule of law play in the country's favour. The US has just begun rolling out a massive missile defence system in South Korea to protect against North Korean attacks and that won't be affected, but the incoming president will have to quickly make friends with the Trump administration to shore up the much-needed military support given by the US. A US spokesman told Reuters this was "a domestic issue" and the US remained "a steadfast ally, friend, and partner" to South Korea. Japan - which withdrew its envoy from South Korea recently in a row about wartime sex slavery - said it "needs to promote co-operation" with the new government "in various areas". North Korea's state media, which normally delays reporting international news, immediately reacted, calling Ms Park "a common criminal". North Korea has always been scathing of Ms Park - often using her gender to attack her. That rhetoric won't end, but a new leader could potentially help reinvigorate international discussions on how to handle the South's increasingly tempestuous northern neighbour. How do you fix North Korea?

While the suspected gunman from the Paris attacks, Salah Abdeslam, remains at large, much of the Belgian capital has come to a standstill. Soldiers are patrolling the streets and the metro and local schools are staying shut. But the authorities say normality will begin to return on Wednesday. Here the BBC looks at how the lockdown is affecting different aspects of life in the city. Schools and universities were closed for a second day on Tuesday under the strict security measures. In a statement (in French), education officials said all lessons would be suspended on the orders of Belgium's National Security Council at nurseries, primary and secondary schools. No children would be admitted. The Universite Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) said it was cancelling classes and closing facilities including libraries, parks, and exhibition halls. The Vrije Universiteit Brussel advised all staff to work from home if they could but said it aimed to resume normal activity on Wednesday. Nadine Rosa-Rossa, a school teacher in the Molenbeek district where anti-terror police have focused their operations, told the BBC's Newsday programme that she thought the measures were "excessive". "It's like we are in a war," she said. "It's not a good thing for the children, for the teachers, for everybody." Others spoke of the disbelief that schools would re-open on Wednesday when the main suspect was still at large and the terror alert at its highest. But Brussels authorities say schools have not been cited as targets and the government has instructed the schools to take security measures such as creating safe rooms for children in the event of an emergency. Some 300 police will help step up security when schools reopen on Wednesday. Transport authorities in Brussels suspended the city's Metro underground transport system and some bus routes, with others running a reduced service. Only overground trams and trains were operating. The restrictions were set to continue until Wednesday, the Brussels Intermunicipal Transport company (STIB) said, and ministers announced that an extra 200 police would be patrolling the metro to help provide security. Commuters travelling into the city reported quiet trains and empty streets, with some describing a sense of unease. Road traffic spiked in Brussels as people sought alternative ways to get to work. Eurostar is running a full service but says passengers can choose to swap their ticket up to 30 November for another day free of charge. Passengers faced tightened security checks for Thalys and TGV high-speed trains from Brussels Gare du Midi train station. Brussels is home to the EU's headquarters and also hosts the offices of many NGOs, think-tanks and international organisations. Dave Baird, who works at the European Commission building, said his office was still open but very quiet. "It's a normal working day but some colleagues have stayed at home and are too frightened to travel on the trains," he said. Although some Nato staff members had been asked to work at home, ambassadors agreed to meet on Tuesday in response to Turkey's downing of a Russian SU 24 close to its border. Meanwhile Olivier Willocx, head of the Brussels chamber of commerce, BECI, told public broadcaster RTBF (in French) that businesses in the city were facing "exceptional" circumstances. He said employers should made their own decisions about whether to keep work places open, taking into account childcare demands due to the closure of schools. Matthias Dobbelaere, who manages a legal practice with offices in Brussels, told the BBC that staff had been told to stay home for now. "You can't let your people work in Brussels and feel safe when there is a terror threat." While some locals complained that their city was becoming a ghost town, others bridled at the idea. "I live in Brussels. Yes, it's quieter in the centre but I don't see a beleaguered ghost town and I don't feel it either," one person tweeted, appealing for everything to be put in perspective. Speaking to the BBC, Letitia Rawlings, who lives in the city, said there was a "very strange atmosphere". "In general, people seem scared to go out," she said, adding that the terror threat dominated conversations. The tourism sector has been badly hit in the Belgian capital, with visitors finding many shops, bars and cinemas shut. While the city's main tourist attractions, such as the Grand Place central square, were unusually quiet, cafes and restaurants struggled to attract customers. Hotels, restaurants and cafes were "licking their wounds" after a disastrous weekend, reported De Standaard newspaper. "There are no clients to be seen, just staff. In the hotels it's a flood of cancellations. It's obvious that anyone who didn't have to be in Brussels has stayed away," complained Marc Van Muylders from the Brussels hotel and catering sector. The US embassy in Brussels urged its citizens to "shelter in place and remain at home". Brussels airport is open and all flights are running as normal, however there are increased security measures in place. Compiled by Jasmine Coleman. Interviews by Stephen Fottrell.

The move is among changes to public procurement rules being proposed by the Scottish government. The Procurement Reform Bill aims to improve the way the public sector buys goods, works and services. Ministers said it would make it easier for small firms to bid for contracts. Guidance under the bill would allow public sector bosses to consider the inappropriateness of awarding contracts to companies using controversial zero-hours contracts, which allow employers to hire staff with no guarantee of work. Public sector bosses could also consider, when deciding on a contract award, whether firms use blacklisting. The issue of blacklisting has angered unions and politicians, following disclosures about a UK-wide database of names used by major construction firms to vet workers. Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the legislation promoted an approach that was "both business friendly and socially responsible". The proposed new rules could also lead to greater use of community benefit clauses. These clauses could require companies to provide training, apprenticeships or opportunities for disabled people as part of the contract. "Changes to public procurement rules will ensure Scotland retains its place as a world leader in public procurement reform, promoting an approach that is both business friendly and socially responsible," Ms Sturgeon said. Responding to the bill, Scottish Trades Union Congress general secretary Grahame Smith said: "The STUC enthusiastically welcomes parts of this important bill, especially its provisions to disqualify firms engaging in tax avoidance and blacklisting from the public procurement process and the commitment to introduce further guidance on workforce matters." But Mr Smith described parts of the legislation as "very disappointing", adding: "It is difficult to believe that community benefits will be extended and improved by simply handing contracting authorities a duty to 'consider' whether to impose as part of the contract. "The STUC is also sceptical that the significant additional requirements placed on local authorities and other contracting agencies will have 'no overall net impact on costs'." Scottish Building Federation managing director Vaughan Hart welcomed the publication of the bill. He said: "With a growing pipeline of publicly funded infrastructure projects planned over the years ahead, this bill offers the potential to transform the efficiency of public procurement - and to encourage many more particularly smaller building companies to bid for public sector contracts. "We will look forward to scrutinising the detail in the months ahead." CBI Scotland said the bill contained "a number of encouraging measures", but added that ministers risked missing out on an opportunity to open up the delivery of public services to independent providers. Assistant director David Lonsdale added: "The bill should enshrine in legislation a 'right to bid' for private and third sector organisations, so that any provider who can demonstrate the capacity and wherewithal to deliver a public service more effectively, innovatively, and for better value is given the opportunity to do so."

Mr McCauley died earlier this month, nine years after being severely beaten in a sectarian attack in Londonderry. Jim McCauley said the letter he received may add "another facet" to the investigation into his son's murder. Det Ch Insp Michael Harvey appealed to the person who wrote the card to contact police to assist their inquiry. "I would specifically like to ask one person, who wrote to Mr Jim McCauley expressing their sympathy and disgust at the attack on Paul, to please contact the detectives at Maydown, as I believe they hold vital information in relation to this investigation," he said. Mr McCauley was 29 years old when he was beaten by a loyalist gang at a barbecue in the Waterside nine years ago. He was left in a persistent vegetative state until his death in a care home on 6 June. It is believed the attack was carried out by a gang of up to fifteen people. Jim McCauley told BBC Radio Foyle's Breakfast programme that the letter was one of hundreds the family had received after his son's death. "[It] is of interest because there is a feeling [from] this very kind letter that there may be further information from the individual that sent it," he said. "There may be another facet to the investigation that this individual may be aware of. "The letters are not anonymous but [this is] a request to that individual to maybe speak to Det Ch Insp Michael Harvey or come back to me or any member of the family, and hopefully we can make contact again." He added that he had been disappointed that people he said he knew were holding crucial information had not cooperated with the police inquiry. "I find that in a crime so horrendous the silence in both communities is appalling, and a sad reflection being tolerated by the good people within those communities that they cannot lever the truth out from those who are basically holding them to ransom," he said. Mr McCauley said he and his wife Cathy felt "a tranquillity" with the passing of their son. "There is a mixture of emotions. There is the sadness, the loss, the miss of the person, but also, in Paul's case because he had suffered so much, there is a contentment that he has passed to a better place," he said. The PSNI has said "upwards of 15 detectives" are working on the inquiry into Mr McCauley's murder. While Mr McCauley said he had been unhappy with the first investigation into his son's death, he said the second inquiry has done "an awful lot of groundwork". He added: "I'm quite definite that we will see justice in that the core that attacked Paul will be brought to book." "These people are not anonymous, they've not ridden into the night after the extremely cowardly and bullying attack." On Tuesday's Spotlight programme on BBC One NI at 22:35 BST, Enda McClafferty reports on the death of Paul McCauley.

As I wrote over Easter, the ¡ê8bn identified by Mr Stevens last autumn as part of his proposed solution to a looming NHS funding gap had generated a mixed response from the leading parties. Now it has fuelled a heated series of exchanges dominating the campaign debate. To recap - Simon Stevens and other NHS leaders in England predicted a ¡ê30bn gap by the year 2020. That's the difference between anticipated demand for health care from a rising population and a budget increasing in line with inflation and no more. More than two thirds, they said, could be covered by efficiency savings, in effect seeing more patients and carrying out more procedures for a set amount of money. But that still left ¡ê8bn above inflation, they argued, which the government of the day would need to stump up in 2020. That figure would be reached, it was assumed, after a steadily increasing injection of cash over preceding years. The Liberal Democrats said a little while ago they would find the ¡ê8bn if they were in office. Some of this would be funded by identified tax measures, but the bulk of it would, in the words of Nick Clegg, come from the "proceeds of growth". In other words the Lib Dems assume they will find the money if the economy is growing normally in the years leading up to 2020. Now, after skirting around the subject and dropping various hints, the Conservatives say they will as a manifesto pledge commit to finding the ¡ê8bn in real terms in 2020. Actually it will be "at least" ¡ê8bn and could be more, according to party sources. There are no revenue-raising plans linked to this plan. The Tory line is that voters can trust them to deliver next time on the back of their record of increasing NHS funding over the last parliament. They say the NHS budget in England in 2015/16 is more than ¡ê7bn higher than in 2010/11 so finding ¡ê8bn by the end of the next parliament should not be a problem. It's worth noting that the ¡ê7bn extra figure was reached over six financial years so over a longer time frame than a single parliament. So where does that leave Labour? Unlike the other main parties it has not signed up to the Stevens financial numbers. It is sticking with its pledge to raise NHS funding in England by ¡ê2.5bn a year from 2016, in effect making a start on the journey towards ¡ê8bn. Labour points out it has specific tax-raising plans, including the mansion tax, which cover this spending commitment. It argues this is real money and that the Conservatives and Lib Dems are guilty of promising "funny money" and making unfunded spending pledges. The debate is in essence between "trust us, we can deliver" with a higher long-term spending pledge and a more cautious and funded shorter-run plan. As always it will be down to voters to assess the arguments either way. In the end ¡ê8bn could prove too small a government top-up for the NHS. The efficiency savings talked about look extremely ambitious and may not be achieved. And of course there could be unpalatable decisions about even deeper cuts in other Whitehall departments or tax rises to sustain cash injections required by the health service. This issue includes NHS funding, GP access and social care, particularly of older people. Policy guide: Where the parties stand

Finally, after all the hype and excitement, consumers are about to  get their hands on virtual reality headsets - and we will find out whether there really is a market for this technology. Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive are both released in the next few weeks, and at the Games Developer Conference in San Francisco Sony unveiled its launch date and price. While Playstation owners will have to wait until October to get their hands on the Sony VR headset, they will pay far less for it than for a Vive or Oculus setup. With nearly 40 million PS4 owners around the world, there's a ready-made market for Sony's offering, so by Christmas it's a fair bet that it will be the leader in VR. Mind you, while there is now a huge amount of experimentation around VR and 360 degree video (see last week's BBC Click for example) there is still confusion about how it will be used beyond gaming. At a launch event for Nokia's Ozo 360 camera last night, I was shown a number of demos filmed with the device. I stood next to the vocalist as a band performed, watched as a bear approached a group of nervous people at a campsite, and saw trainee astronauts learning about weightlessness in a swimming pool. The VR headset meant I could choose my own perspective on each scene, but once the novelty wore off the question remained - what is this for? Still, music producers, moviemakers and educationalists are all now producing 360 and VR material, so hopefully they will find an answer to my question. At the end of a week where Google's AI program AlphaGo defeated a champion Go player, the artificial intelligence community is discussing what this triumph of machine over man means. I visited Microsoft's UK research lab in Cambridge where a number of artificial intelligence projects are under way , including one experiment using AI in the game Minecraft and another where a program examines scans of brain tumours. The man who runs the lab, Chris Bishop, says it's wrong to paint a dystopian future in which machines gradually replace us as they get ever smarter. Instead he sees AI as a collaboration between humans and computers - for instance doctors using the brain tumour scanning program to assist their diagnoses rather than replacing them. "We need to talk instead about a partnership in which machine intelligence and human intelligence work together," he says. "It's the case today, and will be the case for some time to come that the capabilities of machines, the capabilities of humans are different and complementary and if they work together they will be stronger than either of them alone." Incidentally, for a different view, have a look at this piece from Tom Chatfield in the Guardian. He argues that in designing AI systems, we humans are making too many concessions to inflexible computers. Back to gaming and we look at the boom in a phenomenon which is familiar to anyone under 25 but a mystery to the older generation - watching video games online. The big player in the live streaming of video games is Twitch, which was bought by Amazon 18 months ago. But we hear from a rival, Ian Sharpe, who says his Azubu streaming service has a different approach. While Twitch lets anyone become a broadcaster, playing anything from Call of Duty to Minecraft, Azubu is more focused on professional eSports. Last  week it signed a deal with the Electronic Sports League to stream exclusive content from esports tournaments - and Ian Sharpe tells us that this is going to be a new boom area for media firms looking to reach those elusive "millennials" who don't watch boring old telly. Tune in to Tech Tent on the BBC World Service at 15:00 GMT for all that and more or catch the podcast later.

The Red Planet and Earth are nearing what is called opposition, when their orbits line them up with the Sun - and put them very close to each other. This occurs every 780 days or so, and enables the super-sharp HST to see surface details that are just 30km across. Hubble has imaged Mars at this time routinely since its launch in 1990. Its back catalogue reveals the ever shifting character of our near neighbour - the Red Planet's wispy clouds, its globe-encircling dust storms, and its evolving ice caps. The actual moment of opposition is 22 May at 11:10 GMT; the two planets' closest approach follows just a few days later on 30 May. There will be just 75 million km between the two planets on that day. Countless astronomers with smaller telescopes than Hubble will be grabbing the chance to view Mars in the week ahead. The planetary alignment means the Red Planet's disc, as well as being larger in the sky than usual, is also fully illuminated.

The display of such goods has been illegal in large stores and supermarkets since 2012. Now small stores, and other outlets such as pubs and clubs, will also have to keep cigarettes out of sight. The ban has been welcomed by campaign group Action on Smoking and Health (Ash),  but criticised by shopkeeper group the Tobacco Retailers' Alliance. Hazel Cheeseman, director of policy at Ash, said: "Two-thirds of smokers start before the age of 18, so it is vital that everything is done to put tobacco out of sight to protect future generations. "The display ban in small shops will work hand in hand with standardised packs, which will be introduced in May 2016, to further protect children from glitzy tobacco packaging." But Suleman Khonat, spokesman for the Tobacco Retailers' Alliance, said: "The introduction of the display ban into larger shops hasn't even been evaluated, so how do we know it will work in smaller shops? "Of course retailers will need to comply with the law but this is a further unnecessary measure that will hit small businesses."

The ad lib "crocodile" comment emerged during answers to the press, so the DUP's Gavin Robinson was only half joking when he advised party activists that the longer they cheered the better, as it would cut down the time for those pesky enquiries from reporters. Mrs Foster originally made her "crocodile" quip after vowing there would not be an Irish Language Act under her watch. On Inside Politics last week, I questioned her several times about whether this remained her position - she did not repeat the formula, instead insisting that few people other than political activists had told her they wanted such an Act. Questioned by the Newsletter's Sam McBride, the DUP leader clarified she had ruled out an Irish Language Act "in the context of nothing else happening in terms of culture and language". She emphasised the need to respect all cultures in Northern Ireland, including "the Ulster Scots, the Orange and British cultural identity". She added that any moves forward had to be within this overall context. This change of tone on the Irish language appears to imply greater flexibility in the negotiations on restoring devolution due to recommence after the Westminster election. A senior DUP figure told me: "There's a deal there to be done, provided Sinn F¨¦in want to do it." Previously the DUP suggested a "Public Duties Act," which would have incorporated both the Irish and Ulster Scots languages and the implementation of the Military Covenant. That was rejected by both Sinn F¨¦in and the SDLP, on the grounds there should be a stand alone Irish Language Act. The latest Arlene Foster comments may point to a compromise, which would see an Irish Language Act introduced alongside separate legislation dealing with the Ulster Scots, Orange and British identity issues the DUP leader highlights. However, movement on the language issue is not going to take place without Sinn F¨¦in dropping its refusal to share power with Mrs Foster until she's cleared of responsibility for the Renewable Heating Scandal. It's now clear that Sir Patrick Coghlin's inquiry into the Renewable Heating Incentive Scheme (RHI) will take at least a year if not longer. It's unimaginable the DUP leader would contemplate sitting on the sidelines for such a lengthy period. Will Sinn F¨¦in moderate their position on the RHI in the same way that Mrs Foster has changed her tone on Irish? Or will they add to their "red lines" perhaps by elevating the importance they attach to other matters, like EU Special Status for Northern Ireland after Brexit or the introduction of same-sex marriage? What the candidates and party leaders say during this campaign should provide us with plenty of clues about whether the next round of talks is for real or just another exercise in going through the motions.

Question: If labelling Sinn F¨¦in as " crocodiles " was the Arlene Foster phrase that stuck at the start of the spring assembly election campaign , then the DUP leader was determined not to make the same mistake again at the @placeholder of the Westminster battle .


At the end of our interview, Fraser gives me a bit of advice about how to make his quotes suitable for publication. "Whenever I swear, just put 'hell' or 'damn' instead," he suggests. That tip comes just after he has been talking about progress with casting disabled actors on TV. Two minutes earlier: "In terms of opportunity for disabled people, there are four more people on telly than there were 20 years ago. Excuse me for not having a party." Fraser and other disabled actors "clearly have the experience", he says. "I mean if I didn't have the experience, I wouldn't be asked to be doing damned Richard III, you know? "If people didn't think I could act, no-one would let me near the role. But can I get a look-in in any of the BBC dramas? Can I hell." Fraser has the experience - although recently, US TV executives have been the most willing to let him use it. He played Paul the Illustrated Seal Boy in American Horror Story: Freak Show, and will soon be part of an addicts' self-help group in a new TV comedy by Dumb And Dumber co-creator Peter Farrelly. He has been in bits on Channel 4 and the BBC, has been a regular on stage and played drums with Coldplay during the London 2012 Paralympic closing ceremony. He is easily recognisable - he was born with underdeveloped arms as a result of his mum being prescribed the morning sickness drug Thalidomide during pregnancy. Ten minutes earlier in the interview, Fraser is not yet as exasperated as he will get by being asked to talk about the opportunities on TV for disabled actors. More of that later. For now, he's talking about playing Richard III for the Northern Broadsides Theatre Company at Hull Truck as part of Hull's 2017 City of Culture events. He describes Richard with relish as a "wonderfully evil character who has no redeeming qualities at all". Unlike most actors who have played the scheming monarch, when Fraser steps on stage to deliver the famous opening speech, he won't have a pillow strapped to his back or a walking stick to demonstrate a physical ailment. "I don't have to start performing my own impairments," Fraser says. "I can just be, in my body. "I don't have to make any flourishy hand movements to show my wonderfully crippled hand, or prance about on a stick or anything to illustrate the point. "I can just stand there and be, and I feel be more direct and honest." In the opening speech, Richard describes himself as "rudely stamp'd", and "cheated of feature by dissembling nature, deformed, unfinish'd". He is so bitter about his condition and how he's been treated that he is "determined to prove a villain". Among the blunt insults that come his way, he's called a "poisonous bunchback'd toad" and a "lump of foul deformity". Rather than having a problem with the way Richard is described, Fraser says Shakespeare's words are liberating in an age when most modern disabled characters are portrayed with the utmost sensitivity. "It's very freeing, precisely because I don't have to worry about any political correctness or [think] 'Hmmm it's my responsibility as a disabled person to imbue this disabled character with as much sensitive understanding as possible'," he says. "Au contraire with Richard III. It's literally my job to make him as horrible as possible." Fraser says he feels he has to act as an ambassador for disabled people when playing "most characters if they're in the contemporary setting". But with Richard, he explains: "I can be as horrible as possible and infer it's in part due to my disability and I can relax and enjoy that." Perhaps Adam Hills, the host of Channel 4's The Last Leg, was referring to the sensitivity - maybe oversensitivity - around portraying disability when he told a recent panel discussion there should be more disabled villains on TV. "Why are disabled people on TV always portrayed as being nice all the time?" he asked. "Nice" is not a word that could be applied to Richard III. Fraser responds to Hills' comments by saying: "Disabled people are where black people were in the '80s. "They can't be baddies. People [in the TV industry] are too politically correct. But they're not ready to give us the hero role yet. So we get no role. "And for anyone on Channel 4 to have a go about what characters should and shouldn't be with disableda€| How about having some damned disabled actors who actually are damned characters for some of their damned dramas, yeah? "BBC are all right. ITV are OK. I mean it's minimal and pathetic. But they have something. Something I can hold on to." He lists Liz Carr in Silent Witness, Lisa Hammond in EastEnders and Cherylee Houston in Coronation Street. "What have I got on Channel 4? Some damned lad who's on The Last Leg. Woo. Doesn't impress me, mate. "And as for those panels - I've been doing panels since 1996 about trying to get disabled actors in. I'm just done with panels. Jobs not panels." We're back where we started, and Fraser's exasperation is growing. He stresses he's "not having a go at Adam Hills". "But if people want to talk to me about roles for dramas, the conversation should be, 'We'd like you to audition fora€|' Any other conversation is going to get short shrift from me." How does the conversation normally go? "It's the same as it has since 1996. 'Do you think there should be more disabled actors in different roles and what are the barriers that prevent them?' "Yes I do. Attitudinal barriers and the fact that commissioning editors didn't go to school with disabled people. "The questions and the answers have not changed in 21 years. "But what has changed is my tolerance for the conversation." Richard III is at Hull Truck until 27 May, then at the Viaduct Theatre, Halifax, from 30 May-3 June.

Question: Mat Fraser is the first disabled actor to play Shakespeare 's @placeholder anti-hero Richard III - and he 's relishing the political incorrectness of the Bard 's script . But British TV channels are " pathetic " at giving such juicy roles to disabled actors , he says .


Dr Mahathir's accusations of ruling party leaders accepting bribes "warrant police action", a spokesperson said. Dr Mahathir and the Bersih pro-democracy movement have called for current PM Najib Razak to resign over corruption allegations. Tens of thousands attended Bersih's weekend rallies across the country. A spokesman for Dr Mahathir, Sufi Yusoff, told Reuters: "As far as I am aware he has not been approached by the police yet. We will comply with the police on whatever is needed." It was unclear whether Dr Mahathir could face charges. Dr Mahathir delivered a speech on Saturday at the rally in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, where he called for a "people's power" movement to topple Mr Najib, a former ally. Mr Najib has denied all allegations of corruption and has accused Dr Mahathir of mounting a political smear campaign against him. Read more: 1MDB, the case that's riveting Malaysia. Dr Mahathir was Malaysia's longest serving prime minister, in office from 1981 to 2003, and remains highly influential. The 90-year-old used to lead Mr Najib's party, Umno. Police Inspector-General Khalid Abu Bakar told reporters that, during his speech at the Bersih rally, Dr Mahathir had made "all sorts of accusations", including one that alleged Umno division chiefs had received bribes. "We want to know further and where he had obtained the information... I hope he will give his co-operation," said Mr Khalid. He added that other prominent figures who attended the officially illegal rally, as well as the organisers, would also be called up for questioning. Mr Najib has repeatedly denied taking money from Malaysia's state investment fund, 1MDB. The anti-corruption agency has effectively cleared him, saying the $700m (?¡ê455m) found in his personal accounts came from foreign donations.

Actress Kate Hudson trod the red carpet with her partner, Muse singer Matt Bellamy, while co-star Liev Schreiber attended with his partner Naomi Watts. The star-studded premiere followed reports claiming this year's festival had struggled to attract big "names". The film, directed by Mira Nair, got a mixed reception from critics. Nair won the festival's top prize, the Golden Lion, for Monsoon Wedding in 2001. In her new film, Britain's Riz Ahmed plays a young Pakistani man who becomes a high flier on Wall Street before being radicalised in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Time magazine praised it as a "tense, thoughtful and truly international" film that "raises questions meant to test America's conscience". Ahmed - who previously played an incompetent bomber in Chris Morris's satire Four Lions - stood out in "a star-making role", it added. The 29-year-old was also singled out by Screen International, whose critic said he gives "a finely nuanced performance that carries the film". Overall, though, reviewer Mark Adams concluded that the film "never finds the right pacing or structure to satisfy the dramatic arcs". Variety said the film "saddles itself with a laborious narrative structure and half-baked thriller elements". But the Hollywood Reporter described it as "a serious-minded film whose politics demand soul-searching and attention". Hamid's book was nominated for the Booker Prize in 2007. Speaking on the red carpet, Nair said she wanted to reflect the fact that "the modern Pakistan is nothing like what you read in the papers". She added that she hoped to bring "some sense of bridge-making, some sense of healing, basically a sense of communication that goes beyond the stereotype". This year's line-up also includes To The Wonder, the latest from Tree of Life director Terence Malick, and Robert Redford's The Company You Keep. Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix star in Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master, the story of a religious cult that some have suggested bears a resemblance to Scientology. Alberto Barbera, the event's new artistic director, has cut the number of films being screened and has faced criticism over the relatively small number of stars attending. Venice has come under increasing competition from the Toronto Film Festival in Canada, which overlaps with its Italian rival.

Fundraiser Antonio Cortes, 32, donned the DC Comics superhero outfit as part of a charity collection. While taking a break in a pub in Gloucester city centre, Mr Cortes said he heard screams and ran outside to see a man trying to mug a woman. He told the BBC he chased the attacker and wrestled him to the ground until police arrived. "I could see the woman was distressed and thought 'something has to be done' so I just went with it," said Mr Cortes, a trained Thai boxer. Police officers attended minutes later and took the man away. Mr Cortes said when they saw how he was dressed there "were a few laughs and giggles". It was a scene reminiscent of BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses, when Del Boy and Rodney unwittingly foiled a robbery. In the 1996 Christmas special, the pair were heading to a party dressed as Batman and sidekick Robin when their Reliant Regal van broke down on the way. They walked the rest of the way and, as they emerged from fog in costume, they scared away thieves attempting to mug a councillor. Mr Cortes was in the city as part of his job working for social enterprise Give A Smile UK, which raises awareness of disabled children and sends them and their families on respite holidays all year round. Immediately after the incident the lady, who he thought appeared to be about 60, was taken into the Co-Operative bank by staff to be looked after. Later he saw her with her husband, who came over, shook his hand and said thank you. "It's very rewarding - a good thing and I feel good for it definitely," he said. Gloucestershire Police said a 54-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident and was in custody.

The music star said early testing could save "millions of pounds each year" for the NHS, in an interview with the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme. His charity, the Elton John Aids Foundation, has offered to finance HIV testing in Lambeth, south London, which has the UK's highest HIV rate. The PM says the UK is driving advances in HIV prevention and treatment. About 40% of people diagnosed with HIV in 2014 were diagnosed late, according to Public Health England (PHE) statistics, which Prime Minister Theresa May described as having "a significant impact on their long-term prognosis". Sir Elton said early testing was essential to ensure people were "diagnosed, they're put on treatment, they won't spread the disease - and we'll know where we stand with the population". He referenced a project his foundation had implemented at King's College Hospital in London, which allows individuals to be tested for HIV at the same time as receiving a blood test, as an example of how more people can be checked for the disease. "Most people are willing to have that, and otherwise they wouldn't have a HIV test," he said. "It is something we want the government to get more involved in." He added: "We can solve this, we can stop this disease from spreading." On Thursday, NICE announced new guidance aimed at increasing testing in people with undiagnosed HIV in England. The updated guidance recommends all patients in areas with "high" and "extremely high" rates of HIV should be offered a test on admission to hospital, if they have not previously been diagnosed with HIV and are undergoing a blood test for another reason. In extremely high-rate areas, hospitals should offer the tests even if they are not having blood tests as part of their care, NICE recommends. But councillor Izzi Seccombe, of the Local Government Association, said achieving what NICE was asking was going to be difficult. "The strain placed on councils by the cuts by central government to public health budgets would make commissioning HIV testing in all surgeries and hospitals in high and extremely high-risk areas an unaffordable burden. "Despite these limited resources, testing those in high-risk areas must always be a priority. Councils are commissioning HIV testing in a variety of settings." The Department of Health maintained councils had been provided with sufficient funding. David Furnish, Sir Elton's husband and chairman of the Elton John Aids Foundation, said that he hoped that by funding testing in Lambeth - the UK local authority with the highest rate of HIV - they would help councils to see that "short-term investment pays out handsomely in the long run". The British HIV Association believes that testing for HIV is "very cost effective" and that "deaths due to late diagnosis are completely preventable through excellent treatments". But, Mr Furnish said, it was vital to combat the stigma surrounding HIV, which Sir Elton described as "our biggest obstacle" to beating the disease. Sir Elton praised the prime minister for her support of World Aids Day, and said he had met Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt. "We're wanting to work with him at close... because unless you work together there's no point," he said. It is estimated that 103,700 people are living with HIV in the UK and 17% of people with the virus are unaware of their infection, so risk unintentionally passing it on to their sexual partners. Asked by Victoria Derbyshire about his thoughts on the forthcoming presidency of Donald Trump, in relation to HIV, he urged governments around the world to "keep their mandate about Aids". He said HIV would "balloon again and become another catastrophe" were this not to happen. "If governments in America say 'we're going to stop funding', it's a very scary time and it would be a tragedy for the world," he added. Sir Elton was also questioned about the possibility of meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss gay rights in the country - the pair have previously spoken by phone, but a meeting between the two was postponed in May. The singer said he was "very hopeful" it would happen, but added: "He's a busier man than I am." The BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays from 09:00-11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel.

The prime minister and Nick Clegg are expected to discuss plans for new measures to tackle the threat. Their talks come after the UK's terror threat level was raised to "severe" from "substantial" in response to the deepening conflict in Iraq and Syria. Labour has called for more action to stop Britons being drawn to extremism. Mr Cameron will make a Commons statement on Monday, proposing new powers to stop would-be terrorists travelling abroad. He has urged European leaders in Brussels to take co-ordinated action to tackle the group calling itself Islamic State (IS), which has seized swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq. Speaking before the meeting, he said: "Today in Brussels is an opportunity to talk with other EU leaders and to make sure we all co-ordinate to stop people travelling to Iraq and Syria to stop radicalisation, to confront extremism." He had previously said the "threat is growing" from Britons travelling to fight with IS, adding that there were "gaps in our armoury" that needed to be strengthened. The new alert level rates the risk of an attack on the UK as "highly likely", although Downing Street said there was no evidence to suggest one is "imminent". The rating is the second highest of five possible UK threat levels and is the highest since 2011. Labour leader Ed Miliband has suggested the introduction of a "mandatory programme" of deradicalisation for people "drawn into the fringes of extremism". Writing in the Independent, he also urged the government to revisit the decision to scrap the control orders regime for terror suspects. Talks between Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg, the deputy prime minster and Liberal Democrat leader, come after the Conservatives said they wanted to make it easier to seize the passports of would-be terrorists travelling abroad. The home secretary already has the power - under the Royal Prerogative - to withhold a passport if it is in the public interest to stop somebody travelling. Mr Cameron is also likely to consider strengthening terrorism prevention and investigation measures - or Tpims - which were the coalition's replacement for control orders. However, the Liberal Democrats have said they would only agree to policies that were made calmly, on the basis of evidence and that maintained the liberty of British citizens. A Lib Dem source said Mr Clegg and the prime minister were in "constant communication" on the issue, adding that the party "will consider very carefully any new proposals that are put to us". BBC political correspondent Louise Stewart said powers to withhold passports had been used 23 times since April 2013, but she said the PM could seek to strengthen those powers. She said the government could not - following a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights - make somebody "stateless" by refusing them re-entry to Britain, if they had no other passport. "The sticking point with the Liberal Democrats is they have been against introducing more surveillance measures but say that any new measures would have to be brought in on an evidence basis and it would have to be purely for the safety and security of the British public," our correspondent said. Former Liberal Democrat leader Lord Ashdown has argued that diplomacy is vital to limit the risk from jihadists. "I think we have got to get away from this idea which says that in response to everything in the Middle East our answer is bombs and rockets," he said. Lord Ashdown added that the government was unwise to concentrate on the "threat of jihadis coming home". He warned that the bigger threat was a potential "regional war" in the Middle East, which would be religious and result in the changing of borders.

Drugs giant Pfizer is looking to buy UK firm AstraZeneca in a multi-billion dollar deal, and General Electric (GE) is busy pursuing French engineering giant Alstom. But could tax avoidance be one of the reasons US firms are so keen to buy foreign companies? Pfizer's deal, for instance, would see it moving its top company to the UK for tax purposes. US multinationals have big incentives to invest foreign funds abroad, according to tax campaigners. The US has one of the highest rates of corporation tax in the world - a whopping 35%, compared with 21% in the UK, just 12.5% in Ireland, and zero in tax havens such as Bermuda and the Cayman Islands. Keeping money offshore is therefore one way to avoid the high US tax rate. The proposed Pfizer deal would help the multinational use some of its $69bn pile of offshore cash, according to the Tax Justice Network. "What seems quite clear is that tax avoidance has played an important part in starting the original [Pfizer] bid," Tax Justice Network executive director John Christensen says. Pfizer told the BBC that there were strategic business reasons for the proposed deal, but admitted it would give "a more efficient tax structure". The companies would potentially operate as "as [a] new, UK-domiciled combined company" that "would not subject AstraZeneca's non-US profits to US tax, which would be in the best interests of the combined company's shareholders". In addition, UK companies are "subject to little or no tax on profits generated in non-UK jurisdictions when they are repatriated". "Consequently, the current contemplated structure would place us on a more even competitive playing field and would again be in the best interests of the combined company's shareholders," Pfizer said. US corporations have billions sitting offshore that could be taxed if the money were brought back to the US,  Mr Christensen says. For example, General Electric has around $108bn held offshore, according to Bloomberg. GE declined to comment on its tax arrangements or the Alstom negotiations. However, a source close to GE told the BBC that the firm is not chasing the Alstom deal for tax reasons, but for business purposes. In addition, the $108bn held overseas has been reinvested and is not held as cash, the source said, adding that while GE does have $57bn cash outside the US, that is held by GE Capital, which uses it for investments. Commentators agree that the reason companies are so keen to invest abroad lies with the US tax system and the high tax rates it imposes. As soon as companies try to bring profits back into the US, they may be liable for tax so they go to great efforts to keep them offshore. "This prevents investment [coming] fully back into the US where it is needed," says Tax Foundation economist Kyle Pomerleau. US multinationals are involved in a cat-and-mouse game with US tax authorities, and use some very creative strategies to minimise income tax payments, the Tax Justice Network says. Common tax avoidance strategies include assigning intellectual property rights to foreign subsidiaries, and then paying the subsidiaries to use a brand, trademark, patent or licence. "You charge an onshore subsidiary for the use of a brand, but the brand belongs to an offshore company," he says. Foreign subsidiaries are also used to charge high management fees to a parent company. "Offshore companies milk the onshore companies," he adds. "These are the kinds of games that are played." In addition, multinationals load foreign acquisitions with tax deductable debt to move money offshore, he says Companies also use share buyback schemes as part of their strategy. Apple, which has tens of billions of dollars overseas, is in the curious situation of taking on debt for a share buyback scheme to placate shareholders back home missing out on dividends. In a share buyback scheme, a company can pay a premium price to buy a limited number of shares from each shareholder. "It's a way of keeping shareholders happy," economist and anti-poverty campaigner Richard Murphy says. "It's not profitable in the US to provide dividends." A premium price has a positive effect on the value of the company's shares in general, which adds to shareholder contentment, Mr Murphy adds. Some estimates put the amount of US cash kept abroad at $1.5 trillion. Nevertheless, multinational firms "would like to be able to bring money back to the US without paying a big tax", says Columbia Law School professor Michael Graetz. And in fact some US corporations do opt to bring huge chunks of cash home. Ebay recently said it would repatriate almost $9bn as "it would make more sense to have more cash in the US for mergers and acquisitions". There are a number of efforts in the US and elsewhere to try to reform tax rules. Republican congressman Dave Camp has been among US politicians attempting to introduce a draft tax reform act which aims to lower corporation tax. The OECD is in the process of coming up with rules designed to tackle "base erosion and profit shifting", which involves companies using mismatches in tax rules to make profits "disappear" legally. However, these efforts may take many years to come to fruition. In the meantime, the cat-and-mouse game between multinationals and tax authorities continues.

Posting photos that are blue, grey or dark in colour and using the "Inkwell" filter, which converts colour photos to black and white are all clues according to the Harvard study. The researchers believe the photo-sharing app could be a new form of early detection for mental illness, but is the culture for over-sharing and bragging on social media also to blame for making us feel down in the first place? A previous study by two German universities showed that "passive following" on Facebook triggers feelings of envy and resentment in many users, with holiday snaps being the worst offenders. But according to author and journalist Jessica Winter, "Facebook is actually not the greatest underminer at the social-media cocktail party... That title goes to Instagram," she says, where the trend for beautiful, filtered selfies and picture-perfect lifestyles reaches a whole other level. Comedian Juliette Burton, who has struggled with body dysmorphia, depression and anxiety, agrees that social media can be unhelpful. "They say a picture is worth a thousand words but it's never the full story," she says. "You don't know what else is going on behind this collage of pictures. Being on social media is this whole new expression of our personality, messaging about who we are, but we're still learning what it all means. "In my experience social media is a hindrance when it all feels very fake and competitive. It's very rare to see people posting about dark stuff. When they do it's a massive cry for help. "When you're in the middle of a difficult time and you can't get out of bed, these aren't the moments that I'm reaching for my camera phone." When the going gets tough it's natural to frantically search for answers online, wishing you were as positive as those #instagood moments. But Bryony Gordon, journalist and author of the book Mad Girl, says there is some solace among the selfies. She set up the group Mental Health Mates through social media after battling with OCD, depression and bulimia. "I felt completely alone, just like everyone else who suffers from mental illness - because mental illness lies to you by making you feel like a freak. "Only through writing about it have I realised that actually, it's completely normal to feel weird." After putting a message on Twitter about meeting up with others who struggle with mental health issues, Bryony said 20 people turned up for a walk. Now many gatherings later there are a whole network of people meeting up, with groups even starting up in the US. So can social media have health benefits? Bryony says: "Through the power of social media I've met so many new people and it's a great support. It shouldn't be your only point of help but it's that jumping off point to help you realise you are not alone. " Juliette thinks so too. "It's interesting to hear about the Instagram study because we need to work out how we can use this technology to its full potential," she says. "At the same time people are wanting to talk about mental health much more now. Even if you don't suffer yourself just knowing how to bring it up with someone and learning about the right and wrong things to say is a really positive step."

On the road west out of Londonderry, you have to pay close attention if you don't want to miss exactly where the UK comes to an end and the Irish Republic begins. This is an understated, almost invisible border, marked only by the appearance of road signs in kilometres rather than miles, in Irish as well as English - and by the lower fuel prices at the petrol stations. That is what people here are now used to. You can live on one side of the border and work in another, or shop on one side or another, depending on the sterling-euro exchange rate. But many people here can remember a very different time, when the same road out of Derry housed a large British military checkpoint. Historian Dr Billy Kelly showed me all that is left of it:  some concrete paving alongside the grass verge, as well as a memorial plaque set into a nearby wall that tells a chilling story. It commemorates an atrocity that took place at the same spot in 1990, when the IRA forced Patrick "Patsy" Gillespie to drive a van packed with explosives towards the checkpoint. It exploded before he could get out, killing him and five British soldiers. Dr Kelly lived in Derry through the Troubles and tells me of the apprehension he would experience passing through the checkpoint. "It was never something that you liked doing, because if there was even the slightest thing wrong, you could be held for hours," he says. When I asked him how he felt today, driving along the same road entirely unhindered, he had one word: "Thankful." Peace has brought the greatest dividend, but local business owner Donal Doherty says the EU has also played a role in the ease of living and working in the region. "Peace has got rid of all the army and the checkpoints, and as far as I am concerned Europe and the free movement of goods made a huge difference in terms of taking customs posts off the roads," he says. His award-winning restaurant, Harry's, is 500 yards inside the Irish border and is popular with people in Derry, especially when the pound is strong against the euro. "This village used to be a stop village because Customs made you stop here," he says. "Now it's a place where you can trade across the whole of the north-west." The Vote Leave campaign says none of that would change in the event of a UK exit from the EU. "The border would operate essentially as it does now," Lee Reynolds, their regional director tells me, because the arrangements on which it is based - the Common Travel Area between the UK and the Republic of Ireland - would be in all parties' interests to maintain. "We are convinced that the Common Travel Area can continue to exist, that people's lives can carry on normally, that people would continue to be able to travel across the border and trade across the border." But that doesn't entirely take away the concerns of people like Kevin McCool of KMC Tyres, who runs a business on the UK side, set up by his father 20 years ago. Not only does he buy tyres from the Republic of Ireland - and wonders how Brexit might affect their price - he also depends on Irish customers coming to him because it is logistically easy and financially worth their while. "Even a five or 10-minute stop is going to put people off," says Mr McCool. "There is a lot of people just over the border who do what we do, and at the moment people do come to us from over there. "But if it got to the stage of saving five euros or spending half an hour at a checkpoint, they're not going to cross." Those British citizens who live along the UK-Irish border area already think in two currencies, often making daily decisions about where to buy what. Some, like Kevin McCool, now live on the Irish side and travel back and forth every day. For them there is a very practical dimension to the choice on 23 June  - they are weighing up not just the UK-wide arguments but the question of how their everyday lives might be affected by a vote to leave or remain.

Media playback is not supported on this device A David Kee shot and Mark Haughey header had the Blues two up at the break but Martin Donnelly and Caoimhin Bonner brought the Reds level. Linfield's Sean Ward was sent-off for bundling Chris Curran over but George McMullan saw the penalty saved. McMullan put Cliftonville 3-2 up with a superb chip and sub Aaron Burns headed Linfield level before Eamonn Seydak was dismissed for two yellow cards. After the match, it emerged that Cliftonville defender Bonner was shown a red card following clashes in the tunnel area as the teams left the pitch after the final whistle. The result means Linfield's lead at the top of the table has been cut to two points by second-placed Crusaders who won 4-2 away to Ballymena United. Linfield looked to be in total command when they led 2-0 at half-time. They had a great chance to go three up but top scorer Andrew Waterworth pulled a low shot wide from a great position early in the second half. That proved crucial as, five minutes later, the sides were level through Donnelly and Bonner. McMullan's spot-kick was then well saved by Ross Glendinning but the Blues keeper was beaten soon afterwards by the home skipper's audacious chip. Linfield manager Warren Feeney: "It feels a bit like a defeat as we were 2-0 up. "At half-time I thought it was one of our best performances but I knew Cliftonville would come back at us. "Andrew Waterworth had a great chance to go 3-0 up - but those are the fine margins in football."

A group of insiders is unhappy with existing plans to speed up transaction times. They plan to offer existing investors a matching amount of a new virtual asset - called Bitcoin Cash - which could put pressure on the value of original bitcoins. One expert has warned there could be trading "chaos" over the coming days. Several popular Bitcoin platforms are refusing to support the new coins. That means investors who currently rely on some Bitcoin currency exchanges and virtual wallets will be unable to take advantage of the offer unless they switch to alternative providers. And moving from one platform to another carries risks of its own. "Nobody can be sure how this is going to play out over the short term," commented Iqbal Gandham, UK managing director of the eToro trading platform. The breakaway plan was revealed just over a week ago after it emerged that a compromise scheme to reform Bitcoin appeared to have gathered enough support to be adopted. The middle-ground solution - known as Segwit2x - is an attempt to address one of Bitcoin's constraints: at present the ledger of past transactions, known as the blockchain, can have only one megabyte of data added to it every 10 minutes. The limitation was originally introduce to protect Bitcoin from cyber-attacks, but has meant some users have had to wait days for their transactions to complete at busy times. Two conflicting solutions were initially proposed: Many "miners" - dedicated businesses and others that contribute computer processing power to authorise transactions in return for the chance of being awarded newly minted Bitcoins - favoured the former plan. But many developers - those working on Bitcoin's code or that of associated software - preferred the latter. The Segwit2x initiative solved the impasse by suggesting the data-splitting step should occur in August and then be followed by an increase in the block size to 2MB in November. Under the terms of a related scheme - referred to as Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 91 (BIP 91) - the first step would only happen if 80% of the mining effort adopted the new blockchain software required and used it consistently between 21 July and 31 July. After more than 95% of miners signalled their support for the plan it was widely assumed that a Bitcoin "civil war" had been averted. But then ex-Facebook engineer Amaury Sechet and other Bitcoin insiders revealed plans to launch Bitcoin Cash on 1 August at  12:20 UTC (13:20 BST). They claimed that the danger with the Segwit2x scheme was that there was no guarantee a doubling of the block size would follow the data-splitting step, as promised. Instead their new currency would have a block size of 8MB and ditch the data-dividing idea. To further complicate matters, some Bitcoin exchanges are divided about whether to support the creation of Bitcoin Cash and allow its trade, with several yet to declare their plans. Furthermore, some exchanges plan to suspend or restrict trade in Bitcoin altogether for several days until they are confident that any disruption has passed. The uncertainty surrounding Bitcoin Cash's chances has led to one futures market in Bitcoin Cash to value one coin as being worth about $267, a fraction of the $2,780 each bitcoin was trading at short time ago. In theory, if mass adoption were expected, the two currencies should be much closer in price. "There's massive uncertainty and the quoted futures price should be taken with a grain of salt," commented Dr Garrick Hileman, research fellow at the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance. "We won't know the real Bitcoin Cash price until a number of exchanges across the world start trading it, and it's still not clear when that will happen." And he added that there could be some wild swings in the value of both types of Bitcoin over the coming days. "My sense is that the split can be managed if exchanges and wallets take the necessary precautions," he explained. "But I suspect some will not be well prepared as this happened quickly and a lot of organisations are coming on board at the last minute. "It wouldn't surprise me if there is some chaos."

The Weeping Window was part of an installation displayed at the Tower of London in 2014 to mark British and Commonwealth deaths in the war. It goes on public display at Caernarfon Castle, Gwynedd, on Tuesday for six weeks as part of a UK-wide tour. The castle is home to the Royal Welch Fusiliers museum. The regiment fought throughout the war, including at the Battle of the Somme in 1916, and included a number of poets including David Jones, Siegfried Sassoon, Robert Graves and Hedd Wyn. The event, which is free for the public to view, sees a cascade of poppies flowing from the wall of the castle to the ground. It will also be accompanied by an exhibition entitled Remembrance for Peace, featuring Wales' Book of Remembrance from World War One. The exhibition is staged by 14-18 NOW, the UK-wide arts programme marking the war's anniversary across the four years. Executive producer Nigel Hinds said: "Caernarfon Castle is a poignant and fitting place for the poppy sculpture Weeping Window to be presented as part of its tour of the UK. "It is particularly fitting that the poppies will be at the castle over the centenary of the last weeks of the Battle of the Somme, in which the Royal Welch Fusiliers played such an important role." Julie James AM, deputy minister for skills, said: "The loss suffered by those affected by the First World War was felt for generations, and this exhibition offers an important opportunity to remember and commemorate all those lost."

It was the passion, irreverence and air of apparent anarchy that immediately attracted me on my first visit to Speakers' Corner in 1977. A little over 30 years earlier George Orwell had described the place as "one of the minor wonders of the world", writing that in Hyde Park he had listened to "Indian nationalists, temperance reformers, Communists, Trotskyists, the Socialist Party of Great Britain (SPGB), the Catholic Evidence Society, freethinkers, vegetarians, Mormons, the Salvation Army, the Church Army, and a large variety of plain lunatics". By 1977, the Indian nationalists had long since won their struggle, but many of the rest of the religious and fringe political groupings were still there, still preaching, arguing and debating. The subjects under discussion were then, and still are, almost entirely unrelated to day-to-day news headlines. At least half the speakers are preachers. Issues of race, religion and nationality are discussed obsessively. The place has changed over the years: the Sunday afternoon crowds are smaller; there are fewer platforms belonging to organised groups, a narrower range of speakers, and the proportion of religious meetings has increased. The demographics of both speakers and crowd have also shifted: now at least as many of the preachers are Muslim as Christian. Nevertheless, despite these changes, Speakers' Corner retains the unique buzz generated by the intensity and eccentricity of face-to-face argument. What's going on in the park becomes clearer with repeat visits. Some of the regulars - speakers, hecklers and observers - have been going there for years. Some of the arguments, particularly those involving small groups debating the merits or otherwise of Bible and Koran, continue from one week to the next. Some of the heckles, hilarious at first hearing, become quite stale fourth time around. But there is plenty else to engage with. The meetings of Heiko Khoo, a Marxist who has spoken in the park since 1986, draw some of the biggest crowds with erudite but accessible discussions on global political and economic issues. Mr Khoo's meetings are reminiscent in style, if not content, to the debates around the the platform of Lord Soper, Methodist minister, socialist and pacifist, who spoke regularly at Speakers' Corner from 1926 until his death in 1998. The anarchist and alternative comedian Tony Allen, who made the transition from heckler to speaker in the mid-1970s, and writer, film-maker and internationalist Ishmahil Blagrove, who first took to a ladder in the 1980s, can both still be heard from time to time. Mr Blagrove was one of a new generation of young, black British speakers who came to talk, heckle and debate on issues of racism, imperialism and black identity in the 1980s and 1990s - sometimes in anger, often with great humour - and others with similar interests also still make occasional visits. Intense political discussions conducted in Arabic are a new feature of recent years: frustrating for non-Arabic speakers, but a reflection of the demographic changes in London as a whole and particularly of the area neighbouring Hyde Park. Even some of the religious debates - intelligent design is a favourite topic - can become intriguingly philosophical. This is what genuine, unmediated, public debate looks and sounds like. In both style and content, it's quite different from the frequently abusive, often anonymous exchanges on Twitter and other online social media platforms. And it's nothing like the carefully controlled exchanges of sound bites and unquestioned assumptions that now pass for debate on our front pages and TV screens. When ordinary people get together to talk to each other face-to-face, they can be challenged immediately to explain and justify what they are saying and can't get away with just sounding important. Lord Soper called it "the fellowship of controversy". We need a lot more of it. Speakers' Corner: Debate, democracy and disturbing the peace by Philip Wolmuth is published by The History Press

The victim alleged that former Senator Wilfred Krichefski carried out the attack with another man. In a 2008 police statement, the victim said he was taken by a member of staff who said: "I have a boy for you, sir." It was the first time details of the allegations against Mr Krichefski have been heard in a public hearing. The Independent Jersey Care Inquiry is hearing evidence of abuse at the home in the 1960s and 1970s. No witnesses gave evidence in person, but statements given to police and the historical redress scheme were read out by the counsel to the inquiry on Friday. In the statement read out at the inquiry, the witness described being taken to a staff room where the abuse by Mr Krichefski and another man allegedly took place. The inquiry heard that the member of staff knocked on the door and said "I have a boy for you, sir", before telling the witness: "You go in and I'll be back to get you later." He said Mr Krichefski then asked: "Do you know why you're here?" The witness said in his statement that he replied: "For being truant." The un-named witness told the police Mr Krichefski went on to say it was because he was "wicked and no-one really cares for you". The boy was threatened with not being allowed to leave the home if he spoke about any of it. He said Mr Krichefski told him: "Do not say anything to anyone, if you carry on being a good boy you will not be here very long." When he was older, he told hospital doctors about the abuse and said he was immediately sectioned and taken to St Saviour's Hospital, where he was told to forget about what he had said. The inquiry continues.

A total of 96 MLAs took part in the vote and 49 voted against the Sinn F¨¦in motion calling for civil marriage equality for all, with 47 in favour. Sinn F¨¦in, SDLP and five Alliance MLAs supported the motion.  The DUP opposed it and the Ulster Unionists were given a free vote on the issue. Of 53 unionists, only four voted yes. Ahead of the vote, a petition of concern was tabled, meaning the motion would require cross-community support from both unionists and nationalists to succeed.  However, it did not come into play. A full breakdown of the vote has been published on the assembly website. The controversy surrounding Northern Ireland's DUP health minister, Jim Wells, featured heavily in the debate. The health minster issued a public apology on Friday, after he was recorded on camera making comments linking gay relationships and child abuse. Mr Wells then announced his resignation on Monday, after it was confirmed that police are also investigating an incident involving a lesbian couple during a door-to-door election canvas by Mr Wells in County Down. It is alleged that he called at the couple's house, and during a conversation was critical of their lifestyle. He is due to step down on 11 May to spend more time with his seriously ill wife, but Sinn F¨¦in said his resignation should take immediate effect. Sinn F¨¦in's Catriona Ruane expressed sympathy over his wife's illness but said he should have resigned immediately after linking child abuse to gay parents. She Mr Wells had "violated" his pledge of office by making his original remarks. "No matter how much pressure someone is under there is no excuse for the comments that were made. What make the comments even worse was that they were made by the health minister who had taken a pledge of office, who is responsible for safeguarding children," she said. Earlier, DUP leader Peter Robinson has asked people "not to take on the characteristics of a lynch mob" over the controversy surrounding Mr Wels. "We need to be very careful on these issues that we have some proportionality," he said. "This was a comment made by a minister who for a considerable number of months has carried on his work during the day and been sitting beside his wife during the night as she's been fighting for her life." Ulster Unionist MLA Danny Kinahan told the Assembly he was supporting the Sinn F¨¦in motion for marriage equality and was "proud" that his party had given its MLAs a free vote on the motion. "At school and in the army I believed - and I'm ashamed to say joked carried by the flow - that gay lesbian and such matters were wrong and could be laughed at - I'd never really sat down and thought about it," Mr Kinahan said. The UUP MLA said his eyes were opened to discrimination when one of his colleagues, who he described as an "excellent soldier"  left the army after failing a vetting process for promotion. "I want a society here in Northern Ireland where no-one is made to feel a second-class citizen to any extent and certainly not due to sexual definition. I want no discrimination whatsoever on account of religious belief or sexual orientation," Mr Kinahan said. Alliance MLA Chris Lyttle told MLAs his party "is committed to delivering a shared society for everyone  based on religious and civil liberty and equality for all regardless of age, gender, disability, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation and to stand against discrimination or stigmatisation of any kind". "The Alliance Party therefore supports the extension of state provided civil marriage to same sex couples, provided that robust legislative protection can uphold the religious freedom of faith groups to define and practice religious marriage as they determine." SDLP MLA Colum Eastwood said: "We need to, as an assembly, as people in positions of power and responsibility, we need to be seen to be embracing all members of our community - all members of our community. He added: "There is no reason whatsoever, Mr Speaker, why the north of Ireland should be the only place on these islands that doesn't have marriage available to same sex couples."

The Scottish SPCA said the owner could not longer look after the two large lizards, a female named Pintosh and a male called Babysha. They are being cared for at the charity's centre in Drumoak. Assistant manager Claire Tyczynska said: "We are rehoming them separately as they don't get along with one another." She explained: "As they are very large and powerful animals, they aren't suited to novice reptile owners and this is why we are specifically appealing to people who have kept iguanas before. "Pintosh and Babysha are generally good natured with people, although they can be a little bit grumpy sometimes. "Due to their size, they will each need a very large vivarium with plenty of space to move around." She added: "We would like to hear from anyone who feels they have the knowledge and experience to offer Pintosh or Babysha a new home. "They will make fantastic pets for owners who will appreciate them and meet their care requirements."

If the interim appointment of the unpopular Rafael Benitez was owner Roman Abramovich reminding Chelsea's fans who calls the shots, the return of Mourinho is a case of giving your public what they want. And what Abramovich wants is for the 50-year-old Portuguese to build on Chelsea's Europa League success and deliver an era similar to his silver-lined first spell between 2004 and 2007, when he brought the title to Stamford Bridge for the first time in 50 years and repeated the feat 12 months later. Media playback is not supported on this device Mourinho says he is walking back into an environment where he is loved - but what will he find in his "in-tray" as he tries to make it even better second time around? He will rediscover a squad that still has that inner steel, an automatic default response to pressure that Mourinho built in, allowing them to win the Champions League and Europa League from situations where they seem to be suffering. But this is also a team that needs attention - and a club where the delicate balances of power between Mourinho and Abramovich must be pitched perfectly to survive for any length of time. Mourinho will still have the reliable and influential figure of Petr Cech in goal, while the decision to award Frank Lampard a new one-year deal will have met with the full approval of a coach who still recognises the 34-year-old's influence. But what will Mourinho make of John Terry, and will the veteran, increasingly susceptible to injury, be deemed worthy of a place in any reconstructed Chelsea? Mourinho builds his teams on strength, solidity, reliability and tactical discipline. Terry's fragile fitness means he does not sit easily in any of these categories. David Luiz, the talented maverick, may also be vulnerable. He is not exactly Mourinho's identikit defender, but the incoming manager may feel the Brazilian possesses such a rare talent he can be moulded. On the other hand the prospect of raking in a huge transfer fee, perhaps from Barcelona, may be tempting. Career record up to 1 June 2013 Mourinho will inherit England's Gary Cahill and has Branislav Ivanovic at his disposal, while he has been linked with Porto's highly-rated 22-year-old Eliaquim Mangala. Ashley Cole remains an outstanding left-back at 32 but even this is a situation Mourinho may feel he needs to address for the long term. He will have no worries about Cole when he first arrives but his renowned attention to detail means Mourinho will also be looking into the future. Ryan Bertrand has shown promise but Real Madrid's Fabio Coentrao may be a contender - and Chelsea are more than aware of Southampton's exceptional 17-year-old Luke Shaw. Expect them to try and force their way to the front of the queue at any hint of a sale. Mourinho's pragmatic but successful style will make intriguing viewing given the artistry provided by Chelsea's "Three Amigos"  - Juan Mata, Oscar and Eden Hazard - as he has always liked having a powerful base to his midfield. He has already been linked with Luka Modric, another diminutive creator, who he brought to Real Madrid from Tottenham, and Everton's Marouane Fellaini. Fellaini's contract contains a clause which means he can be secured for around ¡ê24m and the giant Belgian has a preference for a holding midfield role rather than as an attacking force, where he was used by David Moyes for much of last season. In his last spell at Chelsea, Mourinho built the attacking threat around the menacing presence and power of Didier Drogba. On occasions, Romelu Lukaku performed like a young Drogba in the making on loan at West Bromwich Albion and Mourinho will be seeking reports from his former right-hand man Steve Clarke, now manager at The Hawthorns, as well as making his own judgements. Played: 185 Won: 124 Drawn: 40 Lost: 21 Honours Premier League: 2004-05, 2005-06 FA Cup: 2006-07 League Cup: 2004-06, 2006-07 Community Shield: 2005 Whether Fernando Torres, rejuvenated to an extent under Benitez, makes the cut remains to be seen but Chelsea will be aware they would take a hefty hit on the ¡ê50m they paid Liverpool should Mourinho decide he does not fit his bill. Bayer Leverkusen's Germany forward Andre Schurrle is expected to sign for Chelsea imminently in a deal worth a reported ¡ê20m and it would be no surprise to see Mourinho boost his somewhat threadbare striking options even further with another high-profile signing. The relationship between Abramovich and Mourinho had fractured by the time he left Chelsea but has been repaired over time to such an extent that the Russian now feels comfortable enough to be reunited - and his reappointed manager feels happy enough to accept his offer. Abramovich and Mourinho have not had to exercise much in the way of compromise in their careers but there may have to be an element in this renewed partnership. The intervening years may well have taught both that they are best for each other. As stated here recently, this is not exactly a case of "can't live with but can't live without" but the dynamics of how they work together will be pivotal to the relationship's chances of success and harmony. There may need to be a concession of some power on both sides, something both may find hard to do. It is hard to imagine Abramovich handing too much control to a manager who craves it. All this would have had to be worked out before the final touches were applied to Mourinho's comeback. As ever, Mourinho will be box office and the Premier League will be richer for his presence - especially with a packed agenda as he attempts to take the title back from Manchester United.

Question: Jose Mourinho arrives back at Chelsea riding a wave of goodwill and @placeholder a historical significance inside Stamford Bridge that affords the special status he awarded himself when he first walked through its doors .


Spending on fighter jets and submarines are partly behind the increase to 5.13 trillion yen (?¡ê35.2bn, $43.6bn). A separate coastguard budget will also be raised sharply. The plans are part of a 97.5tn yen budget for the financial year starting 1 April 2017. Japan's parliament must still approve the budget, but if approved it would be the fifth consecutive rise in the defence budget. A rising social security bill to fund the cost of services for an ageing population is already putting increasing pressure on the country's economy, and the extra defence and coastguard spending will add to Japan's debt. Rising tension with China over disputed islands in the East China Sea has led to Japan's coastguard budget being raised to 210bn yen ($1.8bn) next year - up from 187.7bn yen. Coastguard vessels from both countries routinely shadow each other near the uninhabited islands which are controlled by Japan but also claimed by China. Five new large patrol ships, and 200 more maritime law enforcement staff are among the spending plans. Meanwhile, the country's ballistic missile defence system will also be upgraded in response to advances in North Korea's programme.

On the factory floor of AMI, a Michigan-based maker of fuel cells, one can hear the future of manufacturing. It is very, very quiet. The loudest noise in the brightly lit factory is the beeping of a hydraulic lift used to replace lightbulbs overhead. The contrast with traditional manufacturing is sharp: Almost no noise, no dirt, little physical effort. And requirements for workers are very different. "You've got to have the smart people that help build it from the bottom up," says AMI President Aaron Crum. "We don't forge things anymore. We use lasers to cut metal, we extrude ceramics, we do things that are different. And so because of it, we need a different labour force to make it happen." Manufacturing in the US is undergoing the same technological revolution that sent workers from agriculture to industry at the end of the 19th Century, says Lou Glazer of consulting group Michigan Future Inc. In the '50s, he says, factory work was a third of the work in America; now it's below 10%. Although manufacturing employment has ticked up in recent months, adding 30,000 jobs since March, the gains pale in comparison to the losses of the past decade. Three and half million manufacturing jobs have vanished in 10 years, bringing the current total to just under 12 million. As employment has plummeted, productivity has soared. Not for nothing does the US National Association of Manufacturers boast that American factory workers are "the most productive in the world". About 30 minutes' drive from the AMI plant is the ghost of manufacturing past: Willow Run. It is an almost unfeasibly large plant that once turned out Liberator bombers, then Kaiser cars, then transmissions and car bodies for General Motors. Willow Run closed in 2010 when GM went bankrupt. Of the plant's five million square feet, one million has been cleared for sale. The rest of the factory is an astonishing reminder of what manufacturing used to be like. Hulking presses the size of three-storey houses gather dust, corridors stretch into the gloom seemingly without end, and the warm air is thick with the smell of machine oil. Gathered round a table at a nearby diner, former Willow Run workers remember their first days at the plant. Now in their 50s, they reminisce about what it took to get a job at the plant. "You didn't need a high school diploma," says Sterling Mullins. "You just needed to be a hard worker," says Gerry Gardner, "and you needed to show up every day, because it wasn't easy work." Tom White grew up on a farm, "so the skills I had weren't really applicable". Those were the days when manufacturing lifted poorly educated men and put them into America's industrial middle class. "You could put the kids through college, we had a couple of weeks vacation," Mr Gardner says. "And you had enough money to go out and buy a new car. We weren't rich - I'm not driving no Rolls Royce or anything - but I bought me a GM car." Manufacturing jobs still pay well - an average of $77,186 (?¡ê49,223) in pay and benefits in 2010. But there are far fewer of them and, says Mr Glazer the consultant, they are changing. "That path to mass middle-class work is gone," he says. "The only high-paid factory work left is going be people who both programme and maintain machines. That work is going to be high-paid but it requires much higher skills." The US is still a big player in manufacturing. More than 18% of global manufacturing output comes from the US factories. And even if American manufacturing has stumbled a little recently as eurozone orders dry up, many of Michigan's manufacturers are optimistic about the future. But the genie cannot be put back in the bottle. Manufacturing in the US has already changed and will change further, pressed on one side by technology and on the other by globalisation. It will be hugely difficult for less-skilled American workers to attain anything like the living standards of the generation before them.

Question: For decades America 's vibrant manufacturing sector provided poorly educated workers a @placeholder to the middle class . But today 's plants need highly skilled workers who know their way around ultra-high tech machinery .


Fay, 33, should win a record 185th cap when Scotland play Slovenia in their opening Euro 2017 qualifier on Tuesday. She made her debut in 1998 against the Czech Republic. "The Holland matches were the first time I really took a step back to see if it was time to stop," Fay said. Having played in eight major championship campaigns - all unsuccessful - Celtic keeper Fay had a big choice to make after Scotland lost over two legs to the Netherlands in a play-off for the World Cup in Canada. "I asked myself several questions and the desire to reach a major championship was one of them," she said. "If we qualify for Euro 2017 it will probably be the most special moment of my career." Scotland, under coach Anna Signeul, have never been given a better chance. The draw - which includes Belarus, Macedonia and top seeds Iceland - is the kindest ever. With the tournament in the Netherlands in two years time having been expanded, two teams will also qualify from most of the groups. "Externally there is an expectation on us to qualify, but you can never underestimate any team," Fay said. "We're not a team that has the arrogance to say we will definitely qualify. We are a team that says we know we have good players and we work hard in every game. "We will give every team the respect they deserve. If we do that I'm confident we will do well in this group." The Scots are based at Nova Gorica, which is almost on the Italian border, but the game is being played at Ajdovscina, some 30 minutes away. "It's a beautiful setting," said Fay of a venue which lies in a valley under towering mountains. "The pitch is a decent size for us and hopefully they will water it a bit before the game. It looks like a good place to start our campaign."

Waseem Al-Muflehi, 15, and Yahya Mohammed, 14, both from Birmingham, disappeared in the water at Barmouth beach, in Gwynedd, last Sunday. Coastguard teams searched for them for three days but the hunt was called off on Tuesday. The body has not yet been identified but the families have been informed. The boys were part of a group of about 500 people from the Somali and Yemeni communities in Birmingham, who were visiting the area last weekend when the incident happened. Emergency services were called to the beach on Sunday after one of the boys was seen to "disappear under the water". Members of their group tried to help them but the wind and waves were said to have been too strong.

Mashboor Hussain, 73, died at his home in Selkirk Road on 11 February 2014. Pathologists said although Mr Hussain had coronary heart disease, his collapse was likely caused by the disturbance at home and his death is being treated as murder. Officers will be on his road today. Det Ch Insp Graeme Gwyn said: "I believe there are still people who have yet to speak to us and would urge them to contact us. "Mr Hussain's family naturally remain devastated by his death and desperate to see those responsible for his murder brought to justice." At around 11:45 GMT, Mr Hussain opened his front door and was confronted by two men, one armed with a gun. They forced their way into his house and got into a scuffle with him in the hall. The two men ran off with a red Nike show box containing cash and other belongings, such as a mobile phone. Both suspects were wearing hooded tops and one is described as slim and wearing black gloves. Mr Hussain's daughter was in his house at the time of the incident.
