The agent for Andrew Turner, David Walter, asked to leave his position, claiming it had become "untenable". In a letter seen by the BBC, Mr Walter raised concerns he had about campaign funds and management. Mr Turner said Mr Walter's opinions were "not shared by other members" of the campaign team. Election agents are legally responsible for their candidate's campaign. Under Electoral Commission rules they cannot resign, instead the appointment has to be revoked by the candidate. In the letter to Mr Turner, Mr Walter said: "I have for some time been unhappy to continue as your nominated election agent." He said he was concerned about "significant anomalies and ambiguities" relating to financial aspects of the campaign. In a statement, Mr Turner said: "David of course is entitled to his opinions, but they are not shared by other members of the team, the Conservative Association's officers or the majority of voters I have been speaking to every day. "Naturally, this is disappointing, but with only 10 days to go to the election I will be concentrating on the issues that islanders are concerned about and working with my tremendously supportive campaign team towards a victory." Mr Turner, who was first elected as the island's MP in 2001, survived a vote of no confidence earlier this year from within his own party. The other candidates for the constituency are: Stewart Blackmore (Labour) David Goodall (Liberal Democrats) Vix Lowthion (Green) Iain McKie (UKIP) Ian Stephens (Independent)

France's highest military honour was meant to be posted to former soldier Joseph Carter, who was part of the Normandy landings in 1944. But no postcode on the package meant it was delivered to Costco in Waterloo Road, Liverpool 3, instead of to Mr Carter at Waterloo Road, L22. Costco passed it to the Royal British Legion who found Mr Carter on Friday. On being told about the attempts to find him, Mr Carter quipped: "I bet you thought I was dead, didn't you." The French embassy, who posted the medal, has apologised for the error. A spokesman said: "The embassy uses the addresses which are given by the veterans themselves when they send their application." Prior to Mr Carter being found, Bill Sergeant, from the Royal British Legion, told BBC Radio Merseyside he wanted to hand over the medal in time for Remembrance Sunday. He said it was found by staff at the store in their mail last month. Mr Sergeant added: "It has been lingering around in Costco for a couple of weeks now, waiting for the French consulate to collect it. "I was selling poppies there last week when one of the managers asked if I could help. "I've tried hard and failed miserably, I've used up one pair of shoes tramping around trying to find this address without success." A few hours after Mr Sergeant said he was "throwing it open" to see if anyone could help, the veteran was found. A worker at the Costco branch said they had kept the medal for about four weeks and contacted the French embassy. In 2014, French President Fran?ois Hollande announced the honour would be awarded to all British veterans who took part in military operations in France between 1944 and 1945.

The Coastguard said they had received a call at about 13:45 from a member of the public who was concerned about the kayakers. The two men - who were both in the same kayak - were making their way from Fisherrow Nest to Musselburgh. Following a search, the men were winched into a helicopter and taken to hospital. A spokesman for the Coastguard said they appeared to be suffering from mild hypothermia. Their condition is not thought to be life-threatening. Before their rescue, the men were last spotted at about 14:45 north-west of Fisherrow and drifting towards Joppa. South Queensferry, Fisherrow and North Berwick Coastguard rescue teams and the Coastguard search and rescue helicopter based at Prestwick were sent to the scene. Kaimes Beasley, from HM Coastguard, said: "This was a very swift water rescue and, given the conditions at sea today, these two men are extremely lucky. "We are grateful to the member of the public who called us to report this incident - they did exactly the right thing when they saw the weather conditions were poor. "This incident shows you how important it is to be prepared for your water activity, and have several means of contacting the Coastguard or raising an alarm, if you're heading out to sea."

In a video posted on YouTube, Yibram Saab read out a letter to his father in which he condemned "the brutal repression by the country's security forces" of opposition protests. He posted the video after a student was killed at an anti-government march. Almost 30 people have been killed in protest-related violence since 1 April. Under the Venezuelan constitution, the ombudsman's office probes complaints against the government and is independent of the executive, legislative and judicial powers. But opposition leaders have accused ombudsman Tarek William Saab of siding with the government of President Maduro. The video in which his son openly condemns the security forces was widely picked up by opposition websites. Speaking directly into the camera, Yibram Saab referred to the latest person to be killed in anti-government protests. "Juan Pablo Pernalete, a 20-year-old university student, was killed through the terrible and inhumane use of teargas when he was hit [by a teargas canister] in the chest," he said. "That could've been me!" Yibram Saab said neither he nor his younger sister had been threatened and that he was speaking out "freely". "I'm doing this motivated by the principles and values which my dad taught me, which I'm grateful for." The president's son, Nicolas Maduro Guerra, has criticised the video on Twitter. He wrote that Yibram Saad, his childhood friend, was being manipulated by the opposition and reminded him that "the enemies of the nation" were still the same. "Your three minutes of fame could have been something different," wrote Mr Maduro Guerra. "You could have picked up the phone and spoken to your father, conveying with love your apprehension and listening to him." The latest wave of anti-government protest was triggered when the Supreme Court announced on 29 March that it was taking over the powers of the opposition-controlled National Assembly. While the Supreme Court reversed it just three days later, government critics argued the original ruling had undermined the country's separation of powers. Opposition lawmakers have since been demanding that the judges responsible for the ruling step down. They have organised a number of protest marches and tried to reach Tarek William Saab's office to demand that he investigate their complaints against the Supreme Court. They are also calling for presidential elections scheduled for late 2018 to be brought forward as they blame socialist President Nicolas Maduro for the political and economic crisis engulfing Venezuela. On Wednesday, the regional body Organization of American States (OAS) voted in favour of convening a meeting of foreign minister to consider the situation in Venezuela. Angered by what it called the OAS's meddling, Venezuela announced it would start the process of withdrawing from the organisation on Thursday.

Dinosaur Zoo's cast of large-scale puppet creatures will be in Inverness next week when it takes the stage at the city's Eden Court. Meat-eater Australovenator and the giant Titanosaur will be among the dinosaurs represented in the live show. Fossils of both beasts have been found in Australia. But the rocks that make up the Highlands also hold clues to a menagerie of strange and ancient animals. Fossils of fish that lived in a tropical lake 385 million years ago have been found in stone quarried at Achanarras in Caithness. Called Lake Orcadie, those ancient warm waters' predators included the 50cm (20in)-long sharp toothed Glytolepis and also armour-plated Coccosteus. Other early marine creatures - ammonites and bivalves - have been uncovered on the banks of the River Brora in Sutherland. Many fossil discoveries in the Highlands were made by Hugh Miller, a skilled stonemason and writer, who was born in Cromarty in 1802. His study of fossils and rocks around his home on the Cromarty Firth has been credited with contributing to a greater understanding of the history of the Earth. Miller made the first discovery of Pterichthyodes, a fish with distinctive box-like armour, at Achanarras. Pterichthyodes is thought to have been a bottom feeder that sought out food in the muddy shallows of Lake Orcadie. The Isle of Skye, however, is where some of the most exciting finds have been made. In 2008, scientists revealed that the earliest turtles known to live in water had been discovered on the island. The 164 million-year-old reptile fossils were found on a beach at Cladach a'Ghlinne, on the Strathaird peninsula in southern Skye. The new species formed a missing link between ancient terrestrial turtles and their modern, aquatic descendants. The discovery of Eileanchelys waldmani, which translates as "the turtle from the island", was reported in the Royal Society journals. Evidence of dinosaurs and ancient large reptiles from other periods have also been found on the island. Many have been studied by Dr Neil Clark, of University of Glasgow's Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, who has described Skye as one of the world's most important palaeontology sites. The fossils include more than 100 marks left by a lizard called Isochirotherium - also known as the hand-beast - 270 million years ago. Skye also provides the Highlands with its link to Australia. Palaeontologists have used dinosaur footprints found at Valtos to help explain what happened at the Dinosaur Stampede National Monument in central Queensland. The monument is a former quarry where, since the 1960s, as many as 4,000 dinosaur footprints have been uncovered. In 1984, the tracks were identified by scientists as being the result of small creatures fleeing from a larger animal, possibly a predator similar to the Tyrannosaurus rex, about 95 million years ago. Others suggests the tracks were left by dinosaurs on their tippy toes as they waded through water. New theories may follow in the future, and "walking" with dinosaurs on Skye might again help add weight to those fresh ideas.

Tom Alexander, who will leave the chief executive role on 31 August, said he wished "to pursue other interests". He will be replaced by Olaf Swantee, who is currently executive vice president at France Telecom. Everything Everywhere is a joint venture between Deutsche Telekom and France Telecom. It started operations in May 2010 when the two companies merged their UK operations. Telecoms analysts have questioned whether the merger has been carried out as smoothly as had been intended. Mr Alexander was Everything Everywhere's first chief executive. He had previously held the same position at Orange UK from 2008. "It's been my privilege to serve Everything Everywhere these past twelve months, and Orange before that," he said. "Olaf will be an excellent chief executive and leader for Everything Everywhere moving forward." Mr Alexander will continue in an advisory role at the company until the end of the year. Mr Swantee is already on the board of Everything Everywhere. Prior to joining France Telecom, he worked for computer maker HP. Everything Everywhere is the UK's largest mobile phone network operator, with about 28 million customers across the Orange and T-Mobile brands. It has 16,000 employees and 700 stores. Its number of new contract customers slowed in the first quarter of 2011.

The Oxford quintet emerged, bathed in white light, to the haunting piano refrain of Daydreaming, from last year's A Moon Shaped Pool album. Two hours and 25 songs later, they closed with Karma Police, singing: "For a minute there, I lost myself." It felt like a perfect metaphor for the band's power to transport an audience. The performance came on the 20th anniversary of Radiohead's first headline set at Glastonbury. That show, which took place just weeks after they released OK Computer, has often been called the festival's best ever. However, frontman Thom Yorke recently told BBC 6 Music he had been on the verge of walking off the stage, after the band's monitors exploded, meaning they could not hear each other. "I just went over to Ed [O'Brien, guitarist] and said, 'I'm off mate, see you later,'" he recalled. "He turned around and went, 'If you do, you'll probably live the rest of your life regretting it.' I went, 'Good point.'" There were no such problems on Friday night, as the band embarked on a career-spanning set that held their experimental and anthemic qualities in perfect balance. Airbag was thrilling, Pyramid Song devastating, and Everything In It's Right Place a pulsing, twisted Radiohead version of a club classic. They even pulled out the much-maligned Creep - the angsty, teenage anthem that gave them early success, but became a millstone around their necks as they matured into a fearlessly experimental art-rock outfit. Things got political - briefly - during No Surprises, where the lyric "bring down the government, they don't speak for us," elicited a huge cheer from the festival's left-leaning audience. As the song ended, Yorke commented: "See you later, Theresa. Just shut the door on your way out." That aside, the frontman rarely spoke during the set, except to thank Glastonbury organisers Michael and Emily Eavis "for having us at your lovely farm today". "Thank you very much for coming to this field to listen to us this evening," he added during the encore. "Probably we'll see you in some other fields over the weekend." Radiohead were preceded on the Pyramid Stage by indie-dance band The xx, whose spiralling, hypnotic songs soundtracked dusk on Worthy Farm. Immediately before them, rock group Royal Blood celebrated with champagne on stage as their second album, How Did We Get So Dark, entered the charts at number one. Speaking to the BBC, singer Mike Kerr said the band were bowled over by the two events converging. "We definitely have a sense that this is a one-off thing. It's something I'll look back on as a very special time." Elsewhere on Friday, there were sets from Sleaford Mods, Clean Bandit, Dizzee Rascal, The Lemon Twigs and Flaming Lips. On The Other Stage, pop star Lorde began her set "trapped" inside a clear plastic box that tilted back-and-forth above her band. Once she emerged onto the stage, she dedicated a recently-released song, The Louvre, to anyone in the audience who was harbouring a secret crush. "Shut your eyes and listen to the song, and just will it to happen," she said. "Maybe they will kiss you tonight. Who knows?" Actor Bradley Cooper appeared on the Pyramid Stage to film a scene for his new movie, a remake of the musical A Star Is Born. He then introduced Kris Kristofferson, who was watched from the side of the stage by fellow Hollywood star Brad Pitt. Johnny Depp also joined the singer-songwriter, who was 81 yesterday, playing guitar on one of the songs. Depp caused controversy on Thursday, as he joked about assassinating Donald Trump during an appearance at Glastonbury. He has since apologised. Former footballer David Beckham also made his first visit to Glastonbury, to help organiser Michael Eavis launch a new social housing project. He planted a tree at the development in the nearby village of Pilton, before heading to the event with his 18-year-old son, Brooklyn. If they stick around until Saturday, they will see acts including Stormzy, Katy Perry, Liam Gallagher and headliners the Foo Fighters. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will also appear on the Pyramid Stage to introduce US rap act Run The Jewels. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

The place is familiar from thousands of miles of pre-season testing. And 25 years of races, dating back to its famous debut in 1991, when Ayrton Senna and Nigel Mansell duelled wheel-to-wheel, centimetres apart, sparks flying, down the long pit straight. That first race on the Circuit de Catalunya was in some ways a misleading debut. Held in early autumn, rather than the since-traditional spring date, it rained, and there was action aplenty. In its new date, the race is nearly always dry - remarkably, the last wet one was Michael Schumacher's brilliant first Ferrari victory in 1996 - and the racing is rarely scintillating. The track is a marvellous test for a grand prix car - all long, challenging corners, which put a premium on aerodynamic excellence, and give the tyres a tough time - but that makes overtaking difficult. No matter. Bold and beautiful Barcelona down the road. The place packed with fans worshipping their hero Fernando Alonso. Filigree seed pods drifting on the breeze. Some great fast corners - Turn Three, Turn Nine - to watch F1 cars and drivers at their best. It is a weekend to savour. BBC chief F1 writer Andrew Benson.

One-time gains in the quarter helped offset losses caused by cheaper imports to India and Europe from the world's top steel producer, China. Net profit at Tata Steel, which is part of a conglomerate of firms, rose to 15.29bn rupees (?¡ê152m; $233m). But in the UK, Tata Steel faces a "structurally challenging environment", it said. Analysts had forecast a second-quarter net profit of 11.8bn rupees for the firm. But profit was helped by 28bn rupees earned from the sale of investments during the quarter, Tata said. However, the firm was gloomy in its outlook for its UK business. "Weak domestic manufacturing demand, surging imports, a strong pound and steep regulatory and business costs" were all challenges in the UK, the firm said. In October, it announced nearly 1,200 job losses at its plants in Scunthorpe and Lanarkshire. Nine hundred jobs will be lost at the firm's plant in Scunthorpe. The remaining 270 jobs will go in Scotland.

This year, he starts as a genuine title contender and with a recent clay court record second to none. The Italian Open champion has won more matches than both Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal in the three clay Masters events leading up to the French Open. Crucially, Murray is now able to play his natural game. He is no longer compromised by his back or by his movement, he trusts himself on clay, and the results have been remarkable. Murray has always felt he needed to play himself in on clay, but, all too frequently the courts changed to grass just as he was getting his eye in. He was also hindered by that lower back injury, which started troubling him as early as 2011. Clay puts greater strain on the back. It is a slow surface, which requires greater rotation to impart the same amount of power. Murray was too often in discomfort, so he decided surgery was the answer. The operation in the autumn of 2013 was a success and opened up possibilities on a surface that had appeared likely to remain his weakest suit. Fast forward to Munich last May and the sight of Murray donning a pair of lederhosen to celebrate his first clay court title. He then beat Nadal on home soil to win the Madrid Masters the following week, then won all three of his matches on clay as Great Britain beat Belgium in November to clinch the Davis Cup. After a semi-final exit in Monte Carlo this year, Murray has faced Djokovic in the final in both Madrid and Rome. His victory at the Foro Italico was his first over the world number one on any surface for nine months. Murray's run of success may have been unexpected, but it was not achieved without hard graft. "I worked a lot on my movement last year," Murray told BBC Sport. "I didn't play Monte Carlo last year and I did a training block in Barcelona where I spent loads of the time working on my movement. "It's a big strength in my game on the other surfaces, then on clay it was something that was letting me down. I wasn't sliding well or timing the slides properly." Success has also stemmed from a decision to treat clay more like a surface for all seasons. "I worked a lot on it the weeks before the World Tour Finals and Davis Cup," Murray added. "I've been trying to spend more time on the clay throughout the year rather than just a six-week period, so I'm not forgetting how to play on the surface. That's helped." Practising with British number two Aljaz Bedene on indoor clay at The Queen's Club before the Davis Cup final paid dividends. Murray also has the green clay courts of The All England Club to call upon. He is a fabulous returner, a master of constructing a point and, on his better days, a formidable practitioner of the drop shot. In other words, he should be a natural on a surface that encourages long rallies. Some extra muscle on his forehand in recent weeks has also helped curtail some rallies, while his beefed up serve gives him an opportunity to win points more quickly than he is accustomed to on clay. With Djokovic's recent dominance and Nadal looking more like the player who has won nine French Open titles, it is no surprise Murray starts as third favourite. But if he can maintain his recent form and sustain his intensity over five sets, then the Scot has the credentials of a clay court Grand Slam champion. And I never thought I would write that. Twice a French Open runner-up, Murray first called on Spaniard Alex Corretja to help improve his clay court game during the 2008 season. The pair eventually parted company in 2011 with Murray still searching for an elusive title on the surface, but five years on Corretja believes the Scot is showing more consistency in his game. "I always felt he had a great game to play anywhere," the former world number two told BBC Sport. "He can adjust very well to the surfaces. "He is more mature, more calm - he understands the game better. This year he came into the clay court season knowing he has a good chance. "Right now I see him - in the best of five [sets] - as someone very difficult to beat. Physically he is very strong. Mentally, I see him as much more consistent now." Corretja, who won 17 career titles, has also recognised a change in Murray's approach. "He doesn't need to be talking to his box the whole time," added the 42-year-old. "He loses focus, he loses energy and he doesn't think about playing the next point. "I talked to him a lot about that, and I'm very happy the way he is controlling his emotions right now because I think it's much better. "When we worked together we never had this feeling that he was arguing too much - but it was the way he was. "I see him now and his focus is better for his game, because he doesn't spend that much time thinking about the past point. He is more thinking about the present and the future." Corretja feels surgery on Murray's back towards the end of his time as coach may also have helped the current world number two "appreciate the game he has". "When you get through difficult situations and moments in your career, that is when you realise you can do a lot of things and maybe you were not doing things properly," he added. Corretja, a Sydney Olympics bronze medallist, says Murray will head into Roland Garros with confidence after beating both Djokovic and Nadal on clay this season. "Now I see him with much more patience on clay. He knows that he can be on there for a long time but he doesn't care. He's a very tough opponent right now," he said. "Against Rafa, sometimes tactically it's a little easier, because he can play up to Rafa's backhand and then step in and go inside out, or even step in and hit a cross-court backhand," he added. "Against Djokovic, he faces someone that is similar to him. Very consistent, tough to win points, tough to hit winners, tough to hit even serves. Djokovic returns very well. "For him mentally, beating Djokovic in the final in Rome helps him to get into the French Open knowing he can beat anyone on clay - even if it's Djokovic or Rafa."

Two Syrian nationals provided first aid to National Democratic Party (NPD) member Stefan Jagsch who was injured in the accident in Hesse state, DPA news agency said. It said the refugees - who happened to be passing at the time - had left by the time police arrived. NPD members have taken part in a series of anti-immigrant marches in Germany. However, regional NPD official Jean Christoph Fiedler praised the two refugees for "a very good, humane act", the Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper reported. Germany's constitutional court is currently considering whether to ban the NPD. The federal upper house (Bundesrat) of the parliament took the case to the court, by arguing in a petition that the party is racist and anti-Semitic, and poses a threat to Germany's democratic order. A previous attempt to ban the NPD failed in 2003 because the judges dismissed evidence provided by state agents who had infiltrated the party. The NPD's anti-immigrant stance is part of widespread German anxiety about the influx of non-EU migrants, many of them Muslim Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans fleeing war and human rights abuses.

His voice is a little weaker but he draws energy from large fired-up crowds who break into chants of "USA! USA!" In St Augustine, people were queuing from 10:00 for a 15:00 speech. As the Trump team bounces from campaign stop to campaign stop, sweeping along cleared highways escorted by outriders, some advisers accept that crowd sizes don't necessarily translate into votes. And yet they wonder at the 12,000 (their figure) who turned out on Monday night in Tampa for a candidate some have written off. Whether Trump goes down to defeat, he has built a formidable following. There can be a dangerous edge to the passion of his supporters. He speaks with the help of a prompter but he rarely sticks to his text. To his supporters his refusal to be scripted, to stick to the customs and niceties of political debate is a mark of his authenticity. His core message remains; that a corrupt elite is running America for its own interests while the little guy is left behind, sacrificed on the altar of globalisation. One Republican insider said that if Trump had just stuck to his economic pitch it might have been a different race but, to a degree, he has run against himself, his thin skin, his flaws and his sense of grievance. Despite Trump's comments about women and the string of accusers who have come forward with allegations of sexual assault, they appear to have had little impact among his crowds, among his believers. He has - at least among his own supporters - defused a dangerous issue by promising to sue his accusers. Instead, he focuses on what he calls the lies of "crooked Hillary Clinton". On Monday night, he declared "she lies more than any other human being". His crowds relish it, interspersing cries of "lock her up!" with boos at the mere mention of her name. If she wins, many in the country will doubt her legitimacy. Trump's base, his core support, is holding up. His believers are impervious to revelations. They believe in a great conspiracy: that powerful corporations, wealthy donors and the media are taking the country from them. They may not understand this web of power but it rings true to them. In St Augustine, Trump turned on the media depicting them as "these thieves and crooksa€| the media, they're almost as crooked as Hillary. Without the media she would be nothing... They're disgraceful." At that point a section of the crowd turns towards us on the media platform shaking fists of rage. The undercurrent at the rallies is Americanism, of America first. The crowds are praised for their patriotism. You won't find chants of "USA! USA!' at Clinton rallies, they are told. For a candidate behind in the polls one constant muse is Brexit. Trump often talks about it. It offers hope that somewhere out there among the rolling hills of the Republic there are hidden pools of voters, too shy to acknowledge they are Trumpeteers, much like the Leave campaign found during the referendum campaign in the UK. In the patient lines standing in the Florida sun waiting for access to the amphitheatres there is a willingness to talk. Time and again I asked whether the election could be rigged as Donald Trump has suggested. Many believed it. Fewer said they would not accept the result if it went against them but some were ready to resist. One man told me the situation was "scary". For months audiences have been told, "Don't let the establishment elites steal the election". There are many people pumped up, primed to contest an election that may go against them. It is easy inside the bubble of the Trump campaign to forget the mountain he has to climb to secure the electoral college votes to win. His campaign has unleashed something powerful, something suppressed, something pent up: a deep longing for an America his supporters fear has been taken from them. The maths of the electoral college suggest Hillary Clinton is going to win but Trump's crowds, undeterred by polls, makes one pause in a season of political upset.

Karen Black, from Worksop in Nottinghamshire, was last seen in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, on 10 November 2006. A case review in 2015 saw four men arrested on suspicion of murder in July 2016, but they were later released without charge. Her niece Roxanne Davis said "no one in the family can be at peace". Mother-of-one Ms Black, 34, was seen on a train from Worksop to Cleethorpes and then stayed at a guesthouse in the town. Nottinghamshire Police and Humberside Police changed the case from missing persons to a murder investigation in 2008 but it was a review in 2015 which lead to the arrests. For more on this and other Nottinghamshire stories The four men arrested, aged 40, 45, 54 and 58, were all from the Cleethorpes area. Ms Davis said: "It is mind-blowing. You can't imagine that someone in your family could just one day be there and then the next minute you don't know what has happened to them. "No one in the family can be at peace with it because we don't know what to think, whether she is alive or something bad has happened to her - it is just awful." Det Insp Andy Bateman of Nottinghamshire Police said they hoped new lines of enquiry and the appeal would find the culprit. He said: "This is a heart-breaking appeal from a girl who loved her aunt very much and I'm now appealing to the people of Cleethorpes within this tight-knit community. "I do believe that someone somewhere has that piece of information that could provide the assistance we need and subsequently the closure for the family."

The men died after inhaling poisonous gases that had collected in the well in Haryana state, a local official said. Much of India is in the grip of a severe drought, which has killed at least 300 people. Haryana and two other states were last week criticised by India's Supreme Court for failing to acknowledge the water shortage problem. Some local reports said the men, from the Jind district of Haryana, had decided to try to get the well working again to alleviate an acute shortage of drinking water in the area. But local deputy police chief Virender Singh denied that they needed drinking water, saying the men had been hoping to use the well for bathing and washing purposes. "The well had not been in use for about five to six years and a poisonous gas had formed in its depths," he told the AFP news agency. "The five men inhaled that and died". India's water refugees who live in cattle camps Searching for water in drought-hit India Is India facing its worst-ever water crisis? Haryana, along with Gujarat and Bihar, was heavily criticised last week by the Supreme Court for failing to declare a drought in their regions, while a significant number of their people were suffering from a lack of water. At least 330 million people are affected by drought in India, which is taking place as a heat wave with temperatures in excess of 40C extends across much of the country.

Media playback is not supported on this device On a freezing, rain-soaked night that provided trademark conditions for an FA Cup shock, a dismal United allowed League Two side Cambridge United to deservedly bridge a 76-place gap between the clubs to earn a fourth-round replay at Old Trafford. And such was the bankruptcy of United's performance that Van Gaal was left in the undignified position of making excuses for the failure of a superpower lying fourth in the Premier League to see off a team lying 12th in the fourth tier of English football. If Van Gaal admitted they were "twitching our ass" during some games, there was nothing here that would calm his concerns about United's current condition. The chatter about formations that surrounds much of Van Gaal and United's work this season is acting as a figleaf to disguise a more uncomplicated truth about the way their season is unfolding. As in recent games such as away to Yeovil Town in the FA Cup third round, the home defeat by Southampton and the win at QPR, United's play has been so laboured as to stand on the verge of slow motion. This was never more evident than in the first half at The Abbey Stadium. Predictable, ponderous and without imagination, Cambridge United looked the livelier side and any potential threat United did pose was produced at such a pedestrian tempo it was easily snuffed out. Radamel Falcao's search for goals has been highlighted but he was not at fault here. United's failure to even get in position to deliver the final ball, let alone deliver the final ball, gave him little chance apart from one second-half opportunity. The concern is that this was a United side costing ¡ê183m, containing ¡ê59.7m British record buy Angel Di Maria, Falcao and the great hope Adnan Januzaj, who is currently suffering a fallow period. Even the introduction of ¡ê83m worth of substitutes in the shape of Robin van Persie, Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw could not make the difference. United had 75.2% of possession - 78.8% in the second half - and yet it seemed they were only able to exert their superiority and pose a threat when fatigue set in for Cambridge. United played 587 passes to Cambridge's 192 but could not make it count. When the season started, with the acquisition of the likes of Di Maria and Falcao, it looked like Van Gaal was front-loading his side with goals to compensate for an uncertain defence in pursuit of a top-four place. This led to plenty of excitement in the opening months but momentum has been lost recently. United have won only three of their last eight games, including that victory at Yeovil, scoring just nine goals. The influence of Wayne Rooney, rested on Friday, was sorely missed. He would have relished the sleeves-up battle. When United enjoyed their successes, pace was a key ingredient of their recipe. Where is it now? United may be in fourth place in the Premier League and overwhelming favourites to reach the FA Cup fifth round, but there is no doubt the great Van Gaal revolution that was the hope when he replaced sacked David Moyes has shown signs of stalling. And while Van Gaal's honesty has rightly endeared him to many, he did not cover himself in glory with a succession of lame excuses after United were held to a goalless draw by Cambridge. Pointing out flaws in the pitch is an old one in FA Cup combat but it was more Van Gaal's unexplained grievance (he declined the offer to explain) about referee Chris Foy that carried the whiff of desperation. No-one could recall any serious injustice to United and yet Van Gaal announced "everything is against us" without actually producing a shred of evidence to support his claim. Media playback is not supported on this device Make no mistake, had Moyes used similar deflection tactics he would have been criticised so Van Gaal can expect no different - in fact even less so given the money he has been allowed to lavish on his restructured team. And had Moyes deputed Phil Jones to take United's corners he could have expected a bucket of caustic soda to be emptied over his head, so why is Van Gaal overseeing this piece of misplaced innovation? Surely United have better set-piece operators than a defender who showed few of his supposed strengths in an undistinguished display, let alone a hitherto undetected (and so far unfulfilled) talent as a set-piece expert? It did not sit well to hear the manager of Manchester United clutching at straws for failing to beat a team that only returned to the Football League this season. This carried all the classic ingredients that still makes the FA Cup special - a Premier League giant facing the minnows under lights in grisly weather conditions with potential for an upset. And Cambridge United made a nonsense of their lowly status to fulfil their part of the bargain and give the city known around the world for its university a night when it could take pride in its football team. Head coach Richard Money revealed he had told his players: "Look at that Manchester United shirt. Look at that badge - and then stick your chests out and go out and play." And play they did. Two different footballing and financial worlds coming together. Cambridge's players were even warned they would be forking out ¡ê39.99 for a new shirt at the club shop if they fancied a spot of souvenir swapping with the likes of Van Persie or Di Maria. In the event they were all wearing their sweat and rain-soaked Cambridge shirts amid wild celebrations at the final whistle, deserving all the acclaim. Coach Money also deserves credit. Cambridge were superbly organised and motivated. He identified United's defensive weakness and made no secret of his plan to exploit it, with seven players sent into the six-yard box for corners, creating a confusion that almost brought a first-half goal for Josh Coulson. Before tired legs took their toll, Cambridge matched United stride for stride - and then dug in through some nervous closing moments when the likes of heroic keeper Chris Dunn and defenders Coulson and Michael Nelson manned the barricades. They will have their day again in the replay at Old Trafford and may need to dig even deeper. They and the fans who gave them such unswerving backing deserve to savour every moment. Richard Money's tongue may have only been partially in his cheek when he claimed Cambridge chairman Dave Doggett would have been unhappy had they deprived themselves of that trip to Old Trafford by scoring a late winner. Manchester United - according to the Deloitte list published this week - are the second richest club in the world with a revenue of ¡ê433.2m in 2013/14. Cambridge, in contrast, have a turnover of ¡ê1.6m and have flirted with extinction in the last decade. Money admitted the financial difference the replay at Old Trafford would make is "mind blowing." The game may be worth up to ¡ê1.7m, more than Cambridge's annual budget on top of the reported ¡ê500,000 already raked in from this first game. A small part of Cambridge will decamp to Old Trafford on 3 February and, with the possibility of a crowd in excess of 70,000, this well-deserved draw has played its part in further securing Cambridge's financial future. United's annual wage bill is in excess of ¡ê200m - Falcao earns ¡ê265,000-a-week as part of his loan deal from Monaco - while Cambridge's outlay is ¡ê1.1m. To watch Cambridge's players throwing themselves behind goalkeeper Dunn when it looked like Di Maria might snatch a late goal was proof that the FA Cup meant more than money to these players - but there will have been plenty of smiling faces in the boardroom at The Abbey Stadium.

Lawmakers spent the night refusing to yield the floor, sharing stories of how gun violence had affected their voters and posting on social media. The protest comes in the wake of the recent shootings in Orlando, the deadliest in modern US history. Republicans, who control Congress, dismissed it as a "publicity stunt" more interested in making headlines. Earlier on Thursday they adjourned the chamber early with no more votes until after the 4 July holiday. But the protest continued for a few more hours until Representative John Lewis, a civil rights veteran, brought it to an end at about 13:00 local time (17:00 BST). At its height on Wednesday evening, congressmen had chanted "no bill, no break" and sang 1960s-era protest songs on the floor of the House of Representatives. Depending on one's perspective, the sit-in was either a shameless publicity stunt in advance of a dangerous piece of legislation or the purest expression of democracy and civil disobedience since the 1960s. But as Democrats chanted, waved signs and sang in protest, there was no debating it was a historic break with congressional traditions that has little precedent in modern times. The display seems unlikely to alter the dynamic in a House dominated by conservatives overwhelmingly opposed to new gun regulations. If anything, after a night of sniping and rancour across the partisan divide, the two sides may be even more deeply entrenched. Republicans view the use of the terrorist watch list to prevent firearm purchases as giving the government the power to suspend due process with next to no judicial oversight. Democrats counter that it's a common-sense first step towards addressing rampant gun violence. Both see their position as guided by principles to be defended to the end, a prospect that makes this dispute likely to be settled only at the ballot box in November. "While the Americans don't always expect us to win, they do expect us to fight," said Democratic Rep Al Green. Scores of gun-control advocates and protesters remained fixed outside the Capitol to support the demonstration. The Democrats' protest follows the gun attack on 12 June, when a man claiming allegiance to the so-called Islamic State group, Omar Mateen, killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Congress has not passed significant gun control legislation since 1994. About two dozen gun control advocates were gathered outside the Capitol building on Thursday morning, tired but intended to stay put while a dwindling group of Democratic House members continued a sit-in inside. Honora Laszlo, from Arlington, Virginia was touched by gun violence at 15, when her mother's best friend was killed by her estranged husband at age 47. In another instance, her close family friend was shot to death in front of his family over an argument over baseball. Most people here say the Newtown school massacre in Connecticut, in which 26 children and adults were killed, is when they got involved in gun control advocacy, she said. But for Ms Laslzo, it was something different. She said the killing of Trayvon Martin in Florida was indicative of National Rifle Association "culture", and that's what compelled her to act. Ms Laslzo said the time has come to "make trouble" to force legislation on gun control and it is no longer acceptable to quietly ask for change.

A snap poll of 700 members of the Institute of Directors found a "dramatic drop" in confidence following the hung parliament. Members saw no clear way to resolve the political impasse quickly, the IoD said. However, it found there was "no desire" for another election this year. Going to the polls again before Christmas would have a negative impact on the UK economy, which was already facing global headwinds, the IoD said. The loss of the Conservatives' majority in the Commons has led Theresa May to seek the support of MPs from Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party to govern. The resulting political uncertainty could have disastrous consequences for the UK economy, said Stephen Martin, IoD director-general. "The needs of business and discussion of the economy were largely absent from the [general election] campaign, but this crash in confidence shows how urgently that must change in the new government," he said. The main priority for the new government should be striking a new trade deal with the European Union, according to the IoD. The 700 members who responded to its survey wanted a rapid agreement with the European Union on transitional arrangements for Brexit, along with clarity on the status of EU workers in the UK. A separate survey of more than 50 medium sized businesses and trade associations by the Harvard Kennedy School of Business found that "almost all" expressed a preference for remaining in the single market and customs union. The report, by former shadow chancellor Ed Balls and Peter Sands, previously the boss of investment bank Standard Chartered, found that all companies questioned were concerned about potentially rising costs from tariffs and customs controls while many were worried about the UK leaving the EU without a deal at all. Mr Sands told the BBC: "When it comes down to it most would prefer to be in the single market - that makes it easier for them to do business, and if they can't get that they want a free trade agreement or something as close to the single market as possible." Andy Silvester, the IoD's head of campaigns, told the BBC he now expected to see more flexibility and pragmatism around the Brexit negotiations. The IoD survey echoed comments by Paul Drechsler, president of the CBI, who said the UK needed to quickly agree transitional arrangements and guarantee EU citizens' rights before focusing Brexit talks on future trading relationships. "To succeed, the UK needs to build the best partnership seen anywhere in the world between its business and the new government, not just on Brexit but on other issues fundamental to the foundations of our economy," he said. Meanwhile, companies have been urged to better prepare for a fall in migrant labour following Brexit. A survey of 500 business leaders by the Resolution Foundation found that almost one in five expected no change to freedom of movement for EU nationals to the UK, while nearly a third believed that the system would be maintained for those with a job offer. The foundation warned that lower migration, along with a higher minimum wage and a tightening jobs market, could mean the end of cheap labour for many UK firms. In Theresa May's cabinet reshuffle, Greg Clarke remains Business Secretary and Philip Hammond stays as Chancellor, while Michael Gove was brought back into the cabinet as Environment Secretary.

For as long as I have been covering French news, which is more than 20 years now, there has been a constant refrain that it is time to move away from the old idea of what they call here La Francafrique. La Francafrique was the network of interests that France left behind in Africa when it pulled out as a colonial power. At its best, it was a benign attempt to extend the benefits of trade and development, and keep French-speaking Africa part of France's cultural sphere. Listen to the programme Download the programme At its worst, it was a rotten system that served established interests - in France as well as in African states - with, at its heart, a devil's bargain: you stay tame and send us your minerals, and when we need it, under-the-counter cash. In return, from time-to-time, we will send in French troops to save your presidential mightiness from the mob. As I said, for the last 20 years it has been the cry of every government that this system was immoral and outdated and had to come to an end. Jacques Chirac was a dyed-in-the-wool Gaullist, and La Francafrique was in its essence a Gaullist enterprise, but even Chirac paid lip-service to the notion that times had changed. President Nicolas Sarkozy, a would-be iconoclast, went further and explicitly set out to rewrite the contract. He started scaling back French troop contingents in Africa, and in a famous speech gave deep offence on the continent, when he basically said it was time Africans started doing things for themselves. Sarkozy being Sarkozy, the message came out all wrong and tactless - but the direction of his thought was sound: that the old cosy contacts with France were holding Africa back. And now we have Francois Hollande, who as a good socialist has drunk deeply of the anti-colonialist potion and genuinely feels embarrassed about much of France's past involvement on the continent. Only a couple of weeks ago he was in Algeria and actually got applauded by the Algerian parliament for coming as close as any French leader ever has to saying sorry for taking the place over in 1830. So yes, now we have a socialist leader, a man who has promised to keep downsizing the military commitment in Africa. A man who has made it a point of honour that France will not any more be regarded as the gendarme of Africa, as it was for so many years. And what is he doing, this harbinger of change, this paragon of post-colonial international egalite? What he has been doing this week is sending soldiers back in to Africa. To do what? To help a not-especially-democratic regime in Mali. Single-handedly (because yes, allies from West Africa are going to help, but let us be honest, they are not there yet and even when they are, who knows if they will be any good?) taking on an Islamist rebel army in territories once occupied by romantic white-kepied officers from the Foreign Legion operating out of Beau Geste mud-brick fortresses. I am afraid, though he will hate to admit it, very much being once again the policeman (or - why not? - the gendarme) of this benighted, impoverished corner of the world. And the kicker of the tale is that throughout the momentous events of the last few days with France in effect walking back into its former backyard - the one it gave back to its rightful owners 50 years ago - no-one has said: "This is neo-colonialism in the garb of the politically-acceptable." No-one has said: "You French, any excuse and you are back in your old haunts, protecting your special friends." As far as I can see, just about everyone is behind the French on this one: the Americans, the Europeans, the Africans, even the Algerians. Of course, none of them is actually doing very much - with the honourable exception of the UK and its C17 transport plane that broke down on day one. But they are all cheering France on from the sidelines, and broadly saying: "Thank goodness one of us still has forces pre-positioned in Africa and a good knowledge of the terrain... and the experience and the backbone to put one in the eye for Aqmi, Mujao, Ansar Dine and the rest of the Sahel's Islamo-narco-terrorists." All of which simply goes to show that history is full of ironies. Where a few years ago the notion of France sending in troops to fight a war in a former colony would have provoked howls of contempt - not least from the French Left - today with the rise of Islamism and the threat we all face, the rules have been re-written. For honourable reasons, modern France wants to get away from La Francafrique. For honourable reasons, modern France finds itself going back in. The world has changed.

In January 2008, three teenagers Adam Swellings, 19, Stephen Sorton, 17, and Jordan Cunliffe, 16, were jailed for life for the murder. Cunliffe's mother Janet claims that although he was present at the scene he did not take part in the murder. She has told Newsbeat that her son was wrongly jailed. All three were convicted under a law called joint enterprise. His mother is campaigning against it. The law allows for several people to be charged with the same offence, even though they may have played very different roles in the crime. Joint enterprise can apply to all crimes, but recently it has been used as a way to prosecute homicide - especially in cases involving gangs of young men. Figures, obtained by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (BIJ) using Freedom of Information requests, showed that between 2005 and 2013 there were 4,590 prosecutions for homicide with two or more defendants. Prosecutions for homicides involving two or more defendants meet the Crown Prosecution Service's definition of joint enterprise. Gary Newlove was kicked "like a football" by the youths, the court heard during the trial. But Ms Cunliffe told Newsbeat that she doesn't think her son deserves to be in prison. "Jordan wasn't actually confronted by Mr Newlove, so he didn't hear any argument and he didn't have any argument with Mr Newlove," she said. "From Jordan's point of view, as a visually disabled person, because at the time Jordan was blind, he didn't see the incident and obviously because he didn't have an argument with anyone he didn't hear anything that happened. "We were pretty confident that he hadn't murdered anyone. The evidence proved that he hadn't murdered anyone and we were pretty confident that we could prove that." She also told Newsbeat that she didn't know anything about joint enterprise or what it involved before the case, which saw two other youths found not guilty of Mr Newlove's murder. "Jordan never denied that he was present at the scene," she said. "He knew he must have been in the location when it happened but he didn't have any involvement - but that doesn't seem to matter when it comes to joint enterprise." Janet Cunliffe is campaigning to have the joint enterprise law changed or scrapped completely. "There are occasions when the law can be used and it can be used appropriately," she said. "My point is if someone hasn't actually murdered anyone, someone hasn't planned the murder and hasn't taken part in it, then how can you be put in prison for murder when you haven't actually done anything?" Former Lord Chief Justice Lord Phillips told the BIJ that the law could cause injustice and that joint enterprise needed reform as it was "capable of producing injustice, undoubtedly". But Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders said joint enterprise was a vital prosecuting tool. She said: "In some cases it's not very clear because of the circumstances of the case exactly who did what, but if we know that everyone was participating in the crime then it helps us to be able to prosecute them, and to put those facts before the court. "If you're just standing there, we won't prosecute you." The wife of Gary Newlove still believes all those prosecuted "are as guilty as the person doing the act". The Ministry of Justice says the joint enterprise law has allowed some of the most serious offenders to be brought to justice and there are no plans to change it. Jordan Cunlffe's case is being supported by the writer Jimmy McGovern whose recent drama, Common, was inspired by his case. It's available on iPlayer.

The documentary, Diana: In Her Own Words, is due to be aired ahead of the 20th anniversary of her death. The tapes, recorded by her speech coach, have never been seen in the UK. Channel 4 said they "provide a unique insight" - but Diana's close friend Rosa Monckton said they were a betrayal of the late princess's privacy. Mrs Monckton is writing to the broadcaster to ask them not to air the tapes. She told The Guardian: "This doesn't belong in the public domain. "It is a betrayal of her privacy and of the family's privacy." The footage was recorded by Peter Settelen, who was hired by the Princess of Wales between 1992 and 1993 to help with her public speaking voice. She was filmed at Kensington Palace and is seen talking about her marriage to the Prince of Wales, their sex life and how she confronted him about his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, now the Duchess of Cornwall. Former royal spokesman Dickie Arbiter told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme that Channel 4 was "laughing all the way to the bank". He said: "These tapes were recorded in private as part of a training session. Anything done behind closed doors remains private." Royal biographer Penny Junor added: "I think it is quite obscene that they are showing this - and immoral, frankly. "Diana, when she made them... the marriage had just come to an end, they had broken up - she was in a very bad way." The princess "never intended these tapes to be heard by any living soul", she added, describing the broadcast as "exploitation". The tapes were returned to Mr Settelen in 2004 after a dispute with Diana's brother Earl Spencer, who said they belonged to him. They had initially been held by Scotland Yard after being seized in 2001 in a raid on the home of former royal butler Paul Burrell. Excerpts were broadcast in the US later in 2004 after being sold to American broadcaster NBC. The BBC was reportedly planning to show the tapes as part of a documentary in 2007, the year of the 10th anniversary of Diana's death, but scrapped the project. Marcus Rutherford, Mr Settelen's lawyer, defended their broadcast. He told BBC 5 live: "The claim to privacy actually fails because the police looked at them, the Spencer family looked at them, Paul Burrell look at them presumably and so what was private to Peter as much as to Diana was actually lost in the process. "So I don't think it's right to say that now, 20 years later after her death, they remain private any more." He added that Diana was separating from her husband at the time and "wanted the world to know what she was going through". Channel 4's deputy chief creative officer Ralph Lee described the tapes as an "amazing historical document" that "allows us to create a new portrait of Diana". He told the BBC that "20 years is a significant amount of time for something like this to now come to light and be aired". A Channel 4 spokesman said the subjects covered in the tapes were "a matter of public record and provide a unique insight into the preparations Diana undertook to gain a public voice and tell her own personal story". Diana died in a car crash in Paris on 31 August 1997. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

The now-former FBI director was dragged into the headlines for his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's email - an issue that she blamed for her shock election defeat against Donald Trump last November. His surprising dismissal by Mr Trump, less than halfway into his 10-year term, came after revelations that he gave inaccurate information about the case to Congress, although that was not mentioned as a reason. Senior Justice Department officials concluded he had violated department procedures by publicly discussing the Clinton investigation. The president, who had previously praised Mr Comey as brave, said the 56-year-old was "unable" to lead the FBI. But Mr Comey had also been leading the investigations by the FBI into allegations of Russian interference in favour of Mr Trump in the election - and Democrats say that is the real reason behind the move. At first, Mr Comey grabs attention by his height: 6ft 8ins (2.03m). But he has also been highly regarded for his credentials: the New York native has been circulating in political and legal circles at the highest level for three decades. As US attorney for the South District of New York, he is said to have attracted a following among many ordinary New Yorkers for his determination to go after the wealthy and powerful. In 2003, he became deputy attorney general. He was the one who led the prosecution of lifestyle guru Martha Stewart. He also led the high-profile case against Wall Street broker Frank Quattrone. Mr Comey came further into the spotlight the following year when, as acting attorney general, he revealed a tense showdown with top officials of President George W Bush's administration when then-Attorney General John Ashcroft was ill in hospital. Mr Bush's White House counsel Alberto Gonzales and Chief of Staff Andrew Card pressed him in his hospital bed to re-authorise a controversial programme allowing federal agents to eavesdrop on phone conversations without a warrant. Mr Comey, who was acting as attorney general in Mr Ashcroft's stead, rushed to the hospital and intervened. Changes were subsequently made to the programme and Mr Comey drew wide praise. After leaving the Bush administration, Mr Comey was general counsel for Bridgewater Associates, a hedge fund in the US state of Connecticut. He now lectures at Columbia University law school in New York. In July 2013, he was nominated as FBI director by President Barack Obama, who described him as "a man who stands up very tall for justice and the rule of law". And in September, he was posted as the seventh director for a 10-year mandate. At the 2016 presidential election, Mr Comey was centre stage. He made two interventions during the campaign to make pronouncements about the investigation into Mrs Clinton's emails. He said in July the case should be closed without prosecution, but then declared - 11 days before November's election - that he had reopened the inquiry because of a discovery of a new trove of Clinton-related emails. During a Senate hearing last week, Mr Comey said that Mrs Clinton's top aide, Huma Abedin, had forwarded "hundreds and thousands" of emails, "some of which contain classified information", to her then-husband. But the FBI later conceded that only two email chains containing classified information were send by Ms Abedin to her husband for printing. Hours later, he was fired, but it does not appear - officially - that this row seems to have cost him his job.

Question: James Comey has been usually described as a highly - skilled political @placeholder . But his reputation has had seriously blows recently , with his name embroiled in controversy .


So it is hardly surprising that people continue to wonder why this personification of the American dream does not just move his other football team to London too, particularly as that team has already got a change of clothes in Wembley's wardrobe and toothbrushes in the bathroom. The Pakistan-born billionaire, who became a US citizen in 1991, is visiting England's capital again this week, catching up with Fulham's faltering efforts to return to the Premier League. He will also be watching the Jacksonville Jaguars' latest attempt to win an NFL game at their "home away from home" when they meet the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. "I'm from the colonies, so I remember when the sun never set on the British Empire," said the 65-year-old auto-parts tycoon, when I asked him about his links with the city. "I have a huge affinity with London and I have a lot of relatives here, now and before I was born. I pretty much look at London as the centre of the universe." Does this sound like a man who would take much persuading to own two of London's "football" teams? The north Florida-based team, bought by Khan in 2011, are almost three-quarters of the way through an initial four-year deal to play one home game a season at Wembley until 2016. That agreement was stretched until 2020 on Thursday as part of a wider five-year deal to play two NFL games a season at English football's national stadium, with an option to extend that to 2025. Given the fact Khan has recently hinted to reporters in Jacksonville that he wants to play one home game a year in London until 2030, it is safe to say that he will be pushing for that option to be exercised. If it is possible to have an anchor tenant in an agreement to rent temporary space at a different sport's national stadium, in a different country, the Jaguars are that tenant. This is no small matter in a league that only guarantees its 32 franchises 10 home games a year, of which two are what we would call pre-season friendlies. Can you imagine how Arsenal season-ticket holders would feel if shareholder Stan Kroenke told them he was taking two or three Premier League games a season to Missouri? And that is before you consider what any Premier League club's local sponsors might have to say about potentially losing more than 10% of the value of their deals, or what the shift in time zones might do to broadcast rights, or that the Jaguars are the long-term anchor tenants in a publicly financed stadium in Jacksonville. When it was suggested to the NFL's head of global expansion, Mark Waller, that US sports fans must be more understanding than British football fans, the British-born, Spurs-supporting executive quite rightly scoffed. "Trust me, they get angry too," said Waller. But the Jaguars are not a typical NFL team, just as Khan is not a typical NFL team owner and the NFL is no longer thinking like a typical US professional sports league. Taking that last point first, it is perhaps worth explaining some of the background to what one journalist at Thursday's announcement described "as one of the most boring sagas in British sport", the NFL's coy game of footsie with British fans. With annual revenues of about ¡ê8bn, the NFL has been the world's richest sports league for a long time, a status built on its dominance of the world's most valuable TV market. If you want to sell anything in the States, from cars to carpet cleaner, you have to advertise during its games: last year, 45 of the top 50 most popular TV programmes in the US were NFL games. The league's bosses have frequently made fools of those who have predicted that the NFL cannot get any bigger at home but most experts would suggest it is time for this apex predator to look for new hunting grounds. And that explains the advent of the "International Series". Having tried to export the virtues of America's favourite sport with pre-season games and second-tier leagues, the NFL decided only the real deal would do, so Wembley was hired and we got to see a game a year from 2007 to 2012, two games in 2013 and then three games last year and this season. Finding teams to cross the Atlantic has been done on a voluntary basis and has required some gentle persuasion and cold, hard compensation. All but one of the International Series games has sold out (the only one that did not was in 2011 when a labour dispute delayed the announcement of the game, leaving little time to sell the 84,000 tickets¡they got close, though). And every game has provided what one Wembley executive described to me as "epic spends" on food and merchandise. But the NFL is still making a loss on these games as it reimburses any lost revenues at home, as well as covering the significant travel costs. For the league, however, this is an investment and Waller was justifiably proud to say all 32 owners recently voted to continue the experiment until 2025 and to start looking for new territory to conquer, with Germany and Mexico next on the list. London will remain the priority, though, as the extension to the Wembley deal follows a commitment to stage at least two games at Tottenham Hotspur's new White Hart Lane from 2018, providing it is finished. As Waller explained, four games a year in London is half a season, and having two venues should make life easier for the NFL's schedule-makers. Currently, any team that plays here gets the next weekend off, and 'bye weeks' are only possible during the middle eight weeks of the regular season because of the time it takes to ship equipment here (and get it back) and concerns about compromising the competition. That window of opportunity also happens to coincide with two banks of international football, and even the Jaguars still get trumped by the Three Lions. A second stadium, however, means London and the NFL's relationship can take the next step towards full cohabitation: persuading a team (and we are looking at you, Jacksonville) to play back-to-back weekends here, once as a home team, once "on the road". From there the next stage will be to do away with the automatic bye, then it will be to persuade those teams who have not yet volunteered for missionary duty, then to try three games abroad in a season, a play-off game, the Super Bowl¡sorry, I am getting carried away again. Not that I am the only one. British Chancellor George Osborne and London Mayor Boris Johnson are just two prominent domestic cheerleaders for the idea of a full-time London franchise. They have seen the numbers. When asked at what point the NFL will decide it has sold out Wembley enough times, seen its international TV revenues rise sufficiently and flogged enough replica jerseys abroad to be confident it can sustain a permanent overseas presence, Waller did his best Walter Payton impression. "As you know that's a decision which rests with the 32 owners and it's definitely something that takes a lot of consideration," he said, swerving skilfully. "But our commitment has always been to make sure we have a fan base here to support a team so when the ownership is ready to take that decision the fans and the stadiums will be ready. "We're in good shape, though. The fact that we can sell out three games in the middle of the Rugby World Cup and with a fascinating and intense Premier League season going on is a testament to that." He also reminded me of the saga that is arguably the USA's most boring sports story: which franchise is going to move into the vacant Los Angeles market. Once upon a time, as team president Mark Lamping pointed out, the Jaguars would have topped an internet search on the LA question. Not anymore. Both he and Khan believe this is because of the "stabilising" effect that playing games in London has had on the Jaguars in Jacksonville. Their rationale is that they bought a struggling franchise, on and off the field, with a relatively small local fan base. But becoming the NFL's "international team" has increased revenues (the London game is worth 15% of their annual ticket income) and boosted the team's profile. Their website, for example, has gone from being the league's least visited to one in the top 10 for hits, with most of that new traffic coming from abroad. All true, no doubt, but it is also true that when you do an internet search for the teams most likely to move to London, the Jaguars come top: a point Lamping acknowledged with a shrug and a smile. Which brings us back to where we started: look what playing one game a year in London has done for a team like the Jaguars - imagine what eight games would do. "I think imagination is a crazy thing and that's what makes the world go around," said Khan, who is far too smart to make a decision of this magnitude on such flimsy evidence. "But it's been great thing for us to play a game here and to continue doing so for the near future." So Jaguars fans in Jacksonville can rest easy for the time being, and British NFL fans will just have to accept that this is going to be a long-distance relationship for the foreseeable future.

The key development after four days of intense discussions under the supervision of the conciliation service ACAS is that the British Medical Association and the Government side feel able to get around a table for substantive talks. That hasn't happened since October 2014. It has taken months of recriminations, protest marches, an overwhelming vote in favour of strikes and three days of planned walkouts to get the two sides to this point. Trust had been eroded and, until ACAS brokered a way forward, neither the BMA nor NHS Employers could conceive of a way of starting negotiations. So now the serious talking over the fine print of the proposed new junior doctors' contract is getting underway. A detailed memorandum hammered out under the guidance of ACAS has set out the terms of trade for this new round of talks. This is a significant step forward from the megaphone diplomacy and publication of open letters and angry rebuttals which had characterised the acrimonious exchanges of recent weeks. The BMA feels that one its main concerns in the proposals has been addressed, namely the perceived lack of robust safeguards to prevent junior doctors being made to work excessive hours by trusts.  "Contractual safeguards for safety are paramount," says the memorandum, "and we therefore commit to develop a jointly selected and supported guardian role to oversee the hours of work of doctors in training." For his part, the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt feels that there are now at least talks over a new contract which he argues will enhance NHS services at weekends. The document thrashed out with ACAS includes these words: "The parties support the commitment to patients to ensure that the quality of care and patient outcomes (including appropriately adjusted mortality rates) are the same every day of the week." It is a requirement of an ACAS process that participants agree not to air their differences in public.  Neither side is crowing over making the fewest concessions. Calm has descended. That may remain the case as the talks process gets underway today and in the next couple of weeks. But sources close to each side have made clear there is no guarantee of success. The precedents are not favourable - there were two years of talks over a new junior doctors' contract which then broke up in 2014.  There is not much more than three weeks before the Christmas holiday period. The BMA has the right to call a new wave of strikes up to January 6th (giving the statutory one week's notice of action no later than January 13th). So there may not be much of a seasonal holiday for the negotiators. ACAS has done its bit for now. The two sides must see how they get on together without a referee in the room. The ACAS process has helped the negotiators get to know each other and rebuild trust.  A lot is now riding on their discussions, not least the ability  of the NHS to cope with winter without the possibility of strikes hanging in the air.

Question: It 's all quiet on the junior doctors ' front . The protagonists in this bitter dispute have agreed to sit down for detailed negotiations . Hospitals in England , expecting a strike until late yesterday evening , are running normally albeit with some @placeholder operations and out patients appointments . So how long will the talks go on without a war of words erupting in public and what are the chances of success ?


The 28-year-old shared a century stand with captain Alastair Cook in his first outing as an opener in the drawn first Test in Abu Dhabi. Moeen, who also took two wickets with his off-spin, told BBC Sport: "It would be good for the team if I can do that - for the balance of the side. "You could always play two spinners." The Worcestershire all-rounder saw off competition from Alex Hales to open during the tour of the UAE and knows he will have to score heavily to hang on to the position for the trip to South Africa, where batting conditions are likely to be much tougher. "In the first innings I really enjoyed it," said Moeen, who made scores of 35 and 11. "It was a little bit slow but I felt it was about getting the team off to a good start after Pakistan had got 500-plus. "It was great to come off the field and go straight out to bat. "My role is to score runs at the top of the order, get the team off to a good start and then hopefully bowl the opposition out. "I just want to keep giving England a good start, which is really important here." Moeen and leg-spinner Adil Rashid returned combined figures of 0-284 in the first innings in Abu Dhabi, but shared seven wickets in Pakistan's second innings as England almost secured an unlikely win. Rashid picked up five wickets on debut to become the first England leg-spinner to take a five-wicket haul since Tommy Greenhough in 1959. "We grew up together and we are a similar age," said Moeen of Rashid. "We are pretty tight, but it's about doing a job for England. "With the one-dayers in the summer we kind of got used to it a little bit but it's nice to have another spinner, just so we can speak to each other and rub off each other a little bit." Rashid also earned the praise of captain Cook after bouncing back from first-innings figures of 0-163, the worst by a Test debutant. Cook said: "He's obviously had a tough introduction, the first day and a half not getting a wicket, bowling on probably the worst wicket you'd ever want to make your debut on as a leg-spinner when you lose the toss. "We know that leg-spinners come into the game later on. To get his rewards like he did, and bowl like he did, really sped up the game." The pitch for the first Test in Abu Dhabi was widely criticised for offering minimal assistance to the bowlers. It took until the final morning for the first two innings of the match to be completed, as Shoaib Malik and Cook ground out double centuries. And although England almost forced an unlikely win, Mooen hopes to see more pace in the wicket in Dubai. "It would be nice in terms of my bowling," he said. "Batting would be tougher but I don't mind that and it would be good for the game and good for the people watching." Pakistan will have leg-spinner Yasir Shah in their side after he missed the first Test of the three-match series with a back spasm. Shah, 29 and the fastest bowler to reach 50 Test wickets for Pakistan, is expected to replace seamer Rahat Ali. Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq said: "He is back and that's a good sign for us. We missed him a lot in the first Test and his return will give us that boost in the spin bowling. "We really need to pull up our socks and the kind of fight England put in, we need to match them. I have confidence in my players that they can do that." Pakistan have also recalled off-spinner Bilal Asif as cover. Asif was reported for a suspect bowling action in Zimbabwe on 6 October, but can play pending a report on his action, which is expected to be completed in two weeks. However, Pakistan are likely to be without batsman Azhar Ali, who returned home following the death of his mother-in-law and may not receive a United Arab Emirates visa in time. England all-rounder Ben Stokes has had a stomach upset but will be fit to play. Pakistan squad: Misbah-ul-Haq (captain), Ahmed Shehzad, Shan Masood, Azhar Ali, Mohammad Hafeez, Fawad Alam, Asad Shafiq, Younis Khan, Shoaib Malik, Sarfraz Ahmed (wk), Yasir Shah, Zulfiqar Babar, Wahab Riaz, Imran Khan, Rahat Ali, Junaid Khan, Bilal Asif. England squad: Alastair Cook (capt), Moeen Ali, James Anderson, Samit Patel, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Ian Bell Stuart Broad, Jos Buttler (wk), Alex Hales, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, James Taylor, Mark Wood, Chris Jordan.

Mr Jones said leaving the EU would have "devastating consequences" for Wales, and asked what Mr Farage had done to help steel in his role as a Euro MP. Mr Farage claimed membership of the EU had left the first minister "impotent". He argued the UK would have more control of its economy outside the EU. The UKIP leader opened the debate in Cardiff on Monday by asking if the UK wanted to "regain our independence as a nation state" or if it was happy to be a "subordinate member of the club". Mr Farage claimed it was "scaremongering" to say trade would cease and jobs would be lost upon a British exit from the EU. The first minister replied by saying membership of the UK and EU was vital to Welsh prosperity. Claiming 200,000 jobs in Wales relied on EU trade, Mr Jones said "pulling up the drawbridge" would have "devastating consequences". Focusing on the fate of steel, the first minister said the industry's problems were "nothing to do with the EU". A glut of steel on the world market, the strong pound and high energy costs were hurting the industry, he said. Mr Jones said he met Tata Steel bosses in December, adding: "Not once did they mention the European Union as being some kind of obstacle." Mr Farage responded by claiming British politicians in Wales and Westminster had been unable to protect the steel industry from cheap Chinese exports. "You didn't do it, not because you don't want to, because you haven't got the power to do it because we've given that away to Brussels," he said. If the EU referendum campaign is going to be anything like this, it's going to be a lively affair. It was breathless stuff - within minutes both men were trading insults. And perhaps surprisingly it was jobs and the economy - not immigration - that dominated. At times it was a tough night for the first minister with Nigel Farage bossing big chunks of the debate. Carwyn Jones based his claims on the dangers of taking a risk - in other words, better the devil you know. Nigel Farage's rhetoric was based around the need to reclaim control of our borders and our laws. On the issue of immigration, Mr Farage said "the biggest benefit" of leaving the EU would be the UK's ability to set up an Australian-style points system to accept immigrants based on their skills, lack of criminal convictions and ability to speak English. However, Mr Jones dismissed the suggestion that EU membership had "anything to do" with immigration, saying if the UK was not a member, France would simply allow refugees camped at Calais to pass through. "Would it be in our interest to turn our backs on our European partners, or isn't it better to work together to find a European solution to what is a European challenge," he asked. The first minister also attacked the UKIP leader's record as a Euro-MP, saying he had only attended one out of 42 meetings of a fisheries committee in the European Parliament. "The reality is you don't stand up for Britain," he told Mr Farage. In reply, the UKIP leader said: "If I spent every living moment there I wouldn't have even been allowed to debate or vote on the issues that affect fisheries - the parliament hasn't got that power." Eluned Parrott, Welsh Liberal Democrat spokesperson on Europe, said that "neither person came out of this shouting match particularly well", claiming hers was the only UK party united in favour of EU membership. "Carwyn Jones was right to be arguing the importance of the UK remaining in the EU," she said. "Yet, his views are in stark contrast to his party in London, where [Labour leader] Jeremy Corbyn remains ambivalent on this major issue." Plaid Cymru AM Elin Jones was critical of Mr Jones, tweeting: "Well, for the case for Wales staying in EU, that was a set-back. Mustn't be repeated. #IWADebate." Before the debate, a spokesman for the Welsh Conservatives dismissed the event as having the feel of a "rather gaudy PR spectacle", saying Mr Jones had failed to invite rival party leaders to similar debates about Welsh issues under his control. A referendum on whether the UK should remain within the EU or leave is set to be held before the end of 2017. On Sunday, Prime Minister David Cameron suggested the vote could be held as early as this summer.

Boycott said on BBC Test Match Special: "There was some really, really bad cricket. Three of them were out pulling or hooking. "You need to know when to attack and when to defend, but England have committed hara-kiri." England have already won the series but Australia lead this game by 374 runs. Boycott continued: "If I was the chairman of England cricket, I'd be going in to talk to the coaches. I'd want to know what you're going to do about this. Because if you don't solve it, I will - I'll get somebody else. "England will follow on tomorrow and it will be all over by Saturday night." The hosts had reached 46-1, having lost captain Alastair Cook when he was bowled by a turning delivery from Nathan Lyon for 22. But that was the cue for his side to lose seven wickets for 46 runs in 22.3 overs - with the manner of nearly every dismissal drawing Boycott's ire. "Adam Lyth grafted and played nicely, but Peter Siddle came on, his second ball was a loosener, a lollipop outside off stump and he went to pull it and it looped to mid-on. Your career is at stake here," he said. "Jonny Bairstow came in and they set the trap for him - they put two back and he knocked it straight down his throat. "Then Ben Stokes came in - almost every second or third ball he was whooshing at it, almost as if he was trying to win the match. "Jos Buttler is like a rabbit caught in the headlights of Ashes cricket. A seven-year-old schoolboy would have played better. He hasn't made a run all series. "He hasn't shown any application whatsoever. It looks to me like his mind and confidence is shot for Test cricket - it's pathetic." Pace bowler Steven Finn, the only England man yet to bat, said: "We had a very poor day, there is no hiding away from that. "We have to make sure tomorrow is a very good day to make sure we stay in this game." With the Ashes gone, Australia batsman Steve Smith, whose 143 put the tourists in the driving seat, hopes his side can give retiring skipper Michael Clarke a good send-off by winning this game. "It is disappointing that we can't win the series but Michael said before this Test match that he wanted a lot of fight and character from us," said Smith. "The way we batted and grinded out in the first innings showed that, and to have them 100-8, it's been a very good couple of days for us." Meanwhile, Boycott also felt England were guilty of "believing their own publicity" after their limited-overs success against New Zealand earlier in the summer. "After they played well in the one-dayers, they said we're going to play positive, attacking, aggressive cricket," he said. "We want application, we want fight, we want some adaptability to the conditions."
