City council leader lib dem simon cook will tell a conference an arena on the site of the old diesel depot site is a crucial part of the zone. He stressed although it was early days potential operators believe its size would attract many good quality shows. Mr cook said there was a risk a larger version would be built in cardiff if the bristol arena did not go ahead. \"we've fallen behind cardiff too often in the past. It is really time to grab the opportunity and go for it. \"there is a very big interest in an arena for bristol... we're absolutely determined to deliver it,\" he added. It is believed the arena would cost up to \u00e2\u00a380m to build, some of which will come from the government's city deal fund. Several plans for an entertainment arena have been put forward since 2003 but the idea was dropped in 2007 when costs rose to \u00e2\u00a386m. Then in 2009, plans for a 15,000-seater music and sport venue were proposed with a second site at ashton vale close to where bristol city football club wants to build a new stadium. The city's biggest music venue is the famous colston hall, which can hold about 2,000 people.",

Since then, 70 people have bought company shares, raising about \u00a3300,000. Parish council chairman graham shelton said the community was \"very excited\" after six-months of hard work. \"northmoor has proved that if there is an energetic group of people that want to get things done, you can get things done,\" he added. \"when the pub came on the market, we feared we'd lose it. Alongside the church and village hall, it's greatly valued by local people and is at the heart of our community.\" Previous owners greene king put the pub up for sale at the beginning of the year after failing to find new tenants. Mr shelton said villagers explored \"making it a community asset\" but decided to buy it after securing a loan from \"a private individual\". The pub will now be run as a free house and mr shelton said the company had been \"overwhelmed\" with the response to an advertisement for tenants. It will be run by first-time landlords ian neale and lisa lyne, who have 30 years' industry experience between them. Mr shelton added that the couple \"ticked all the boxes\" for the local community, including \"experience, capability, friendliness and empathy\". He added: \"[they] will enable us to regenerate our pub, which has been in continuous existence since the 1700s.\" \"they have the whole village behind them.\"",

'main attraction' in second place, valued at? ?7,000, are the first 10 numbered copies of the beatles' self-titled 1968 record, which became known as the white album because of its plain white cover. The band's name was embossed on the front of the sleeve, which was designed by pop artist richard hamilton, along with a unique stamped serial number. In third position was a pair of sleeves designed by andy warhol. Madrigals' 1953 work magic key to spanish volumes 1 and 2, and spoken word anti-crime lecture the nation's nightmare, from 1951, have been valued at? ?3,500 and? ?3,000 respectively.

        "document":"A child sexual exploitation report has found police made no sustained effort to find out who was responsible for abusing children in the care system. The review into 22 abuse cases in northern ireland criticised the authorities for not doing enough. The young people went missing a number of times over a 20-month period while being looked after in the care system. The police service of northern ireland (psni) said it has recently made policy changes aimed at keeping children safe. In september 2013, the psni said it had begun a major investigation into the sexual exploitation of children and young people who had gone missing from care in northern ireland. Officers said they had identified 22 people, aged between 13 and 18, who may have been sexually exploited. The psni investigation was known was operation owl. Thursday's report, examining the psni response, has been published by the safeguarding board for northern ireland. It said psni officers were effective in locating the teenagers and returning them to the care system. However, it found that they failed to properly examine the extent of the child sexual exploitation taking place and their attempts to find and stop the abusers was - in the words of the review - \"limited and inconsistent\". While there is praise for the help offered by some staff from residential care homes, stormont's health minister simon hamilton said that the report shows not enough support was given to protect the teenagers from harm or the risk of harm. He said the review had identified \"a significant gap\" in knowledge about perpetrators of child sexual exploitation. The head of the psni's public protection branch, det ch supt george clarke said that following operation owl, the psni has \"implemented a number of changes in our approach to handling this issue to ensure we are doing everything we can to keep children and young people safe\". \"indeed, in april of this year, the psni formed the public protection branch which is now responsible for policy and practice in relation to a number of areas including child sexual exploitation. \"the new structures enable us to work closely with our partner agencies in a much more cohesive way than before to ensure better protection and safeguarding for children and young people.\" The office said the psni has also revised its missing persons protocol, a joint policy with the health and social care authorities. \"this protocol is designed to support effective collaborative safeguarding responses by the psni and social services in respect of children who run away or go missing from their homes or care placements and builds upon developments in our knowledge and experience,\" mr clarke added. Last year, a separate review into the issue concluded that sexual exploitation was a growing threat to young people in northern ireland. That report also said that some abusers were thought to have links to paramilitary groups.",

Six authorities have told bbc wales a meltdown in waste markets has hit their budgets. Pembrokeshire council has seen the price it gets for steel drop by 88% over the year - while flintshire has seen the price for plastics halved. Experts say a slump in oil prices, cheap steel imports, and china's economic slowdown are to blame. \"we try to play the markets as best we can,\" harvey mitchell, the waste services manager for flintshire, said. \"it makes it difficult when we do have a drop in issues we can't control, such as the global price of oil, or when larger countries flood the european market with steel.\" Flintshire has been celebrating a record year for recycling household waste - up to 58% of everything thrown away now ends up at its waste recover facility in buckley. \"but while we've seen an increase in the amount of material we've collected, we've actually seen a drop in the income because of the market prices,\" mr mitchell said. Recycled waste netted the council \u00a3537,000 in revenue in 2015\/16, but this represented a drop of 45% in the expected income - more than \u00a3400,000 in lost cash. The pattern has been repeated in pembrokeshire, where \u00a3360,000 has been wiped off the council's expected income, while four other councils saw a combined drop of \u00a3335,000. \"this is an issue which is impacting upon wales as a whole, not just pembrokeshire,\" a council official there said. \"fortunately quotes for the coming months are starting to look more positive with prices starting to increase.\" The impact on most of the other welsh councils which responded to bbc wales has been minimal, as they said are tied into long term contracts dealing with their recycling services. But one academic expert said authorities and the public in wales will need to refocus as they face ever increasing targets on recycling. By 2025 welsh authorities are being asked to recycle 70% of waste - by 2050, it should be 100%. \"waste prevention is what this is all about,\" rebecca colley-jones, from bangor university's sustainability lab, said. \"it's about buying smartly, being able to think about what you do with it so it can be reused, because reuse is a form of waste prevention. \"together we can provide solutions for the future.\"",

Pemberton will face between six and 12 years imprisonment. The case has strained ties between the us and the philippines, a former us colony where the americans have a significant military presence.

Pemberton had previously testified in court that he had attacked ms laude after he realised she was transgender, but said she was still alive when he left the room. The prosecution had argued pemberton should be convicted of murder, but the court downgraded this to homicide. Pemberton was also ordered to pay at least 4.5 million pesos ($95,350; \u00e2\u00a363,140) to ms laude's family.

A \"terrorist hide\" was uncovered at capanagh forest near larne after two members of the public found suspicious objects in the woods on saturday. Some of the items found included an armour-piercing improvised rocket and two anti-personnel mines. The main line of police inquiry is the arms belonged to dissident republicans. Last week, home secretary theresa may said mi5 believed an attack on targets in great britain by dissident republicans had become \"a strong possibility\". Analysis: vincent kearney, bbc news ni's home affairs correspondent. The discovery of what appears to be a second dissident republican arms dump near larne within three months has left police baffled. Based on location alone, the analysis would be that the items found most likely belonged to loyalist paramilitaries. But the nature of what was found suggests otherwise and the finger of suspicion firmly in the direction of dissident republicans. Det supt kevin geddes said the threat level in northern ireland from dissident republican groups remains \"severe\" and an attack is \"highly likely\". Police officers found three barrels hidden in holes in the forest. As well as rockets and mines, there were also several pipe bombs, assault rifle ammunition and parts to construct a \"substantial number of explosive devices\". Det supt geddes said the seizure was significant \"both in terms of its size and its capability\". \"a number of these devices were ready to be deployed,\" he added. \"this seizure has undoubtedly saved lives.\" He said the type of weapons that had been found meant police would focus their investigation on dissident republicans. In march, an arms find was made at carnfunnock country park near larne, and police said the were investigating a connection between the two discoveries. \"there are links in terms of the general location and the manner and method of storage and packaging of these munitions,\" det supt geddes said.

Kirsty mcguire, from dover, kent, said her son codie mcdowell was left screaming with pain. The accident in east sussex has led his family to warn of the dangers of barbecues on beaches to prevent it happening to anyone else. But rother council said disposal barbecues were banned from the beach. Ms mcguire said: \"he stood on it, yelped'just get it off me, get it off me'  and that's when my brother's picked him up and all the bottom of his foot's just blistered.\" She said when they looked at the sand they first realised it was bright red and then they saw the barbecue underneath it. \"how someone could just be so selfish and not put their rubbish in the bin,\" she said. \"it doesn't take long to put a barbecue out especially with the amount of sea that's there and dispose of it properly.\" She added: \"i felt helpless. He was in so much pain and screaming and there's nothing that i could have done to prevent it and when he's laying there in hospital and he's'mummy take the pain away', obviously it breaks my heart.\" She said her son now needed hospital visits every three or four days for his injuries. Councillor simon elford, tourism portfolio holder at rother district council, said:  \"we were very sorry to hear at the injuries received by this young boy and wish him a speedy recovery. \"to ensure the safety of everyone using this popular beach, disposable barbecues are banned and our officers carry out regular checks of the beach during busy periods.\"",

Police said three armed men took a five-figure sum from the vehicle in the city's sauchiehall street on monday at about 21:45. A spokesman said no-one had been injured although two security guards aged 47 and 49 were left badly shaken. The area around the bank, which is near the buchanan galleries shopping centre, has been cordoned off by police. Police said the security guards had been making their delivery when they were approached by the three armed men, who threatened them and demanded they hand over a box of money. It is understood the cash taken was in the region of \u00e2\u00a350,000. Following the robbery, the three men got into a white seat leon car, which sped off along west nile street towards the cowcaddens area. The car has since been found in scott street, near stow college. Police said it was being taken for forensic examination. Inquiries have so far revealed that the car performed a u-turn on west nile street, causing a cyclist to take evasive action to avoid a collision, immediately prior to the robbery. Officers are appealing for the cyclist to contact them. The suspects are described as wearing dark-coloured clothing and balaclavas to conceal their identities. Det insp alasdair barlow said: \"we are reviewing cctv images in and around the city centre. \"we would like to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the incident or noticed the car, in particular the cyclist. \"as the car left the scene, it was being driven at speed so people may have noticed its excessive speed.\"",

The attacker made the devices print a warning urging their owners to cut off remote access. Large printers in offices, domestic devices and tiny receipt printers in restaurants were all caught up in the hack. The attack came soon after a german academic study found vulnerabilities in a wide range of printers. Over the weekend, a hacker using the alias stackoverflowin ran an automated program that scoured the internet for printers that did not have basic security controls switched on. Once it discovered a vulnerable device, the program made them print a page announcing the invasion and telling the owner to close the \"port\" used to hijack it. \"for the love of god, please close this port, skid [script kiddie, ie novice coder],\" said the message. Early versions of the program also added ascii art depicting different robots or a computer. Also included were an email address and a twitter handle for stackoverflowin. Many people posted pictures of the printed messages to social media and asked questions about what was happening on technical support forums and social networks such as reddit. Printers made by hp, brother, epson, canon, lexmark, minolta and many others were hit by stackoverflowin's program. The hacker said he did not intend to abuse the access he had gained to the printers. \"i'm about helping people to fix their problem, but having a bit of fun at the same time,\" he told the bleeping computer tech news website. \"everyone's been cool about it and thanked me to be honest.\" Last week, computer security researchers jens muller, vladislav mladenov and juraj somorovsky, from the ruhr university, in germany, released an academic paper summarising work they had done on printer security. The trio tested 20 separate printers and found that all of them were vulnerable to at least one type of attack. They found ways to put the printers in to an endless loop so they were never available to users, or to hijack the devices so they could be used as an entry point to the computer networks on which they sat.",

Judge carlos castro martins reversed the order he had issued in september, which had barred any work on the belo monte dam that interfered with the natural flow of the xingu river. He said the company behind the project had subsequently shown its work would not harm local fishing. The project has been heavily criticised by environmentalists. Judge martins had originally ruled in favour of a fisheries group which argued that the dam would affect local fish stocks and could harm indigenous families who make a living from fishing. He had barred the norte energia company behind the project from all work which could interfere with the natural flow of the xingu river, including building a port, using explosives, installing dikes and building canals. Legal wrangling. Norte energia appealed against the decision and judge martins ruled on friday that construction work on the dam could go ahead as the company had shown that local fishing boats would not be blocked or hindered in their work. \"since the course of the water won't be altered, and there won't be much variation in the speed of its flow, (the project) won't have a major influence on the habitat of ornamental fish species used for fishing,\" he said. Judge martins did, however, say that the wider environmental impact of the project \"could only be felt and analysed once the work was completed, as the studies into its effects were only forecasts of what could happen\". He also said that any work would have to comply with the regulations laid down by brazil's indian affairs department (funai) and the national environment agency, ibama. Norte energia said the temporary halt on the building work had not affected the project, as it had not yet reached the stage where the company needed to do any of the specific type of work which had fallen under the ban. If it goes ahead, the 11,000-megawatt dam will be the third biggest in the world - after the three gorges in china and itaipu, which is jointly run by brazil and paraguay. The government says it is crucial to meeting growing energy needs, but environmentalists and those fighting for indigenous rights have been vociferous in their opposition.",

Judge deborah taylor qc ordered that brown should be detained indefinitely. She added he would only be released on the order of a judge or the government. Brown, of brockley rise, south-east london, appeared via video link from broadmoor hospital during the hearing. A jury found brown not guilty following a two-day trial at southwark crown court. He was also found not guilty, by reason of insanity, of possession of an offensive weapon and of assault by beating of mr ali. The trial heard brown had been delusional in his belief he would \"save humanity\" and exorcise a muslim demon haunting him by stabbing his victim. The court was told he was heard by other passengers to say \"where are all the muslims? I am going to kill all the muslims\", before holding a knife to the throat of another woman, who was unhurt. Brown accepted carrying out the attack but pleaded not guilty to a charge of attempted murder on the grounds of insanity. Mr ali had been travelling home with his wife when the assault took place between honor oak park and forest hill, south london. He told court that the attack had left him too frightened to leave his house. \"i struggle to sleep at the time because every time i shut my eyes i have flashbacks to the whole thing\", he said. \"i can only assume it was me because my wife was wearing a headscarf.\" Detaining brown indefinitely under section 37 of the mental health act, judge taylor said: \"you have a long history of psychotic illness and on that day you were suffering and you continue to suffer from paranoid schizophrenia. \"there's no doubt that if it had not been for the prompt intervention of an off-duty police officer and two medical practitioners that he he may well have died such were the severity of his injuries and the loss of blood.\"",

Judge gordon kerr qc said it was the best way of protecting society and helping lee to change his ways. Lee, originally from whitehall square, belfast, but now living in england, pleaded guilty to a total of 15 charges related to child pornography. The court was told the vast majority of the images were in the lowest categories, although some were in the higher - more serious - categories. Lee was described by his wife as a being \"loving and normal young man\". Judge kerr said that while he had viewed the images for his \"own strange pleasure\", they were serious matters as \"children were abused for these images to be made\". He added that children would continue to be abused while people like lee continued to view such material, and that \"society would not tolerate such behaviour\". Judge kerr said a sentence of up to a year in prison would do very little to assist lee or the community. Placing him on probation, he ordered him to complete a course on sexual offending to help him stop viewing such images. Earlier, prosecutor simon jenkins said that when police went to lee's then belfast home on 5 june, 2014, he immediately confirmed he was the man they were looking for. On computer equipment seized, police uncovered a number of folders, which lee admitted creating. During interview, lee said that he had been downloading images \"for perhaps the last nine years\".

Previously, trainee doctors had to wait up to four years to experience the consultation room. Gp live was developed by aberdeen university and uses streaming software to enter the consultation room. Researchers hope it will encourage more students to join general practice and help ease a recruitment crisis. The software will stream consultations just moments after they happen in an effort to give students a flavour of life as a gp. The system utilises one of the university's digitally enhanced learning spaces (dels), where students can engage in interactive learning with the aid of 55-inch display screens and state-of-the-art web conference tools. It was developed by dr john mckeown, a senior clinical lecturer and gp at cults medical group in aberdeen. He said: \"the biggest appeal for students is that they are seeing consultations that are almost live, and this adds a sense of immediacy that appeals to students who have grown up in an era where digitisation has made learning far more interactive. \"we aim to make the sessions as engaging as possible by discussing the gp's approach while the consultation takes place - for example how they communicate, the direction that they take the consultation, and of course their recommended course of action.\" Dr mckeown said that one of the main benefits of the system was that students and lecturers would be able to discuss consultations that have taken place at a variety of practices, where the issues could be very different. He added: \"this means that students get a real insight into the challenges facing gps who might operate in less affluent areas, or in remote rural locations. \"the system also allows us to work through a number of different consultations in succession, which very much mimics a typical morning for a gp. \"this allows us to see the range of skills - interpersonal, diagnostic and otherwise - that they bring to a normal working day.\" Dr mckeown said that by the time current first year students graduated there would be a pressing need for new gps in scotland.",

And van gogh's atmospheric landscape, paysage sous un ciel mouvemente, sold for $54m (\u00a336m), helping to take the evening's total to $306.7m (\u00a3203m). Simon shaw, co-head of impressionist and modern art worldwide, called it \"a small sale that packed a real punch\". He added: \"each season picasso has the remarkable ability to surprise, and tonight was no exception, with the unusual appearance of two blue period works, which set new benchmarks - both in oil and on paper.\" La gommeuse, described as most the important blue period picasso to come to the market in a generation, was painted in 1901. The portrait is of a nude unnamed woman. Gommeuse, which translates into english as'gummy' was a sexually charged slang word of the time for cafe-concert singers and their songs. It features a second portrait on the reverse of the canvas, which was hidden for a century until its discovery in 2000 during conservation work. The caricature of picasso's friend pere manach was apparently intended as a gift for the catalan anarchist who shared the artist's studio flat in the boulevard de clichy in paris. The painting was one of 47 works on offer, with just over three-quarters finding buyers. At least two of the top 10 lots were bought by asian private collectors, continuing a trend of recent seasons. The $306.7m (\u00a3202m) total comfortably beat the $275m (\u00a3182m) low pre-sale estimate. Sotheby's had tagged the high estimate at about $370m (\u00a3244.5m). This total brings sotheby's sales of impressionist & modern art in just the past 24 hours to $575.8m (\u00a3381m),.

They need to know where those developments are going to happen. \"without a plan it's going to be a lot more piecemeal because investors will have to take chances on where they can get development and the councils may not be in control of that.\" A spokesman for mr burnham said the mayor had appointed salford city mayor paul dennett to lead a \"radical\" rewrite of the plans. He added: \"this re-write is currently underway and details on the next round of consultation will be announced in due course.\"",

        "summary":"Azerbaijan has jailed leyla yunus, a prominent human rights activist, for 10 years for fraud.",
        "document":"A prominent human rights activist in azerbaijan, leyla yunus, has been sentenced to eight-and-a-half years in prison for fraud and tax evasion. Her husband, arif yunus, was given seven years on similar charges. They have been in prison since their arrest nearly a year ago. Both still face separate charges of treason, which carries a life sentence. The couple say the case was politically motivated. Azerbaijan has repeatedly jailed human rights activists. President ilham aliyev has ruled azerbaijan since 2003 and has cracked down hard on political opponents. Both leyla, 59, and arif yunus are in poor health - she has diabetes and hepatitis c, while he has a heart condition and has suffered two strokes. Us-based human rights watch condemned their prosecution as a \"despicable political show trial\". Levan asatiani, an azerbaijan researcher at amnesty international, said \"the judicial system has once again revealed itself to be no more than a cynical tool by which president ilham aliyev crushes any dissent\". In a statement to the bbc the azerbaijan government said the court process in the case was \"open and free\". It also said \"the independence of judiciary and the rule of law have been fully guaranteed\" in azerbaijan. Leyla yunus was found guilty of fraud, illegal entrepreneurship, tax evasion and falsifying official documents. She is director of the institute for peace and democracy, a human rights group founded in 1995. It has worked with the council of europe - europe's leading human rights watchdog - and other international bodies, informing them about actions to stifle political dissent in azerbaijan. Mrs yunus had been pressing for reconciliation between oil-rich azerbaijan and neighbouring armenia, to defuse their frozen conflict over nagorno-karabakh. Armenian forces took control of the disputed territory in 1994 soon after the break-up of the soviet union. But sporadic clashes continue between them and nearby azeri forces. (update 20 august: this article was amended to add the official viewpoint of the azerbaijan government.)",

Chay roberts-jones was working at blundells school at tiverton, devon, when he assaulted the girl under the guise of giving her a sports massage. Roberts-jones, 29, was cleared of sexually assaulting two other girls at a summer ball and a camping trip by a jury in february at exeter crown court.

In may 2014, he offered to give his victim a massage after she suffered cramp but went on to lift her top and try to pull down her trousers. Recorder mr philip mott, qc said there was a \"higher culpability because of the abuse of trust\". He said: \"this was not just flirting and an error of judgment but a more determined effort to pursue your desire and overcome her resistance.\" The judge said roberts-jones, who now teaches adults in france, had experienced \"substantial punishment in terms of career, self image and place in society\" and suspended his sentence for two years. He ordered roberts-jones to pay \u00e2\u00a32,500 costs and sign on the sex offenders register.

The rare tyrannosaurus bataar, 7m long (23ft), was bought by an anonymous bidder for more than $1m (\u00e2\u00a3630,000) in new york. The sale went ahead despite protests from the mongolian president.

Tyrannosaurus bataar is an asian cousin of the meat-eating tyrannosaurus rex. The skeleton in new york is thought to be one of the most complete and well preserved ever discovered, says the bbc's jonathan blake in washington. \"when it comes to dinosaurs, number one, dinosaurs in general are extremely rare. But the rarest of the dinosaurs are the carnivores, the meat eaters - the top of the food chain if you will,\" david herskowitz, director of natural history at heritage auctions, told aptv. \"and, of all the meat eaters that are out there, the most famous are the tyrannosaurids.

A number of senior taliban commanders refused to pledge allegiance to him and a faction opposed to him was set up last month under mullah mohammad rasool. Read more. The taliban source said the firing seemed to be spontaneous rather than planned. Several other taliban sources told the bbc that mullah mansour and his bodyguards had been at the house of another militant, abdullah sarhadi, when fighting broke out. Sarhadi is a taliban figure with symbolic importance after spending years in us detention in guantanamo bay, reports the bbc's dawood azami. Compared to mullah omar, his secretive predecessor, mullah mansour has adopted an open approach and has met taliban commanders regularly to discuss their policy concerns, our correspondent says. What prompted the shooting in quetta is unclear. \"during the discussion, some senior people developed differences and they opened fire at each other,\" said a senior taliban commander, reuters reports. Taliban spokesman zabihullah mujahid categorically rejected the reports. \"no such incident has happened, because he is in afghanistan not in the area of pakistan  they have mentioned. Secondly his security is not weak to allow such an incident,\" he told the bbc afghan service. Mullah omar died in 2013 but his death was only confirmed in july. News of his death disrupted fledgling peace talks between the afghan government and the taliban. Some senior taliban leaders had been suspicious of mullah mansour's support for peace talks hosted by neighbouring pakistan, and accused pro-pakistani circles of installing him as the new leader. Since august mullah mansour has overseen a series of battlefield victories, including briefly capturing the northern afghan city of kunduz - a huge setback for western-backed afghan forces. But the islamist movement has split into openly warring factions since mullah omar died. Recent reports suggest one of the leaders of the breakaway taliban faction, mullah dadullah, was killed in recent fighting with militants loyal to mullah mansour.",

        "document":"Ag barr is to halve the amount of sugar in its leading irn bru brand, ahead of a government crackdown on the fizzy drinks industry. The cumbernauld-based firm, which also makes rubicon and tizer, said it would cut irn bru's sugar content from about 10g per 100ml to just below 5g. It will reduce the calorie count per can from just under 140 to about 66. Ag barr said the move was part of a \"long-standing sugar reduction programme\". It confirmed in a stock market announcement on wednesday that more than 90% of its portfolio would contain less than 5g of total sugar per 100ml by this autumn. Tizer is already below that threshold, while the rubicon carbonates range will all have less than 5g of sugar per 100ml by the middle of this year, the company said. The uk government plans to introduce a levy on sugary drinks in april 2018. The soft drinks industry levy (sdil) will have two bands in the uk - one for soft drinks with more than 5g of sugar per 100ml and a higher one for drinks with more than 8g per 100ml. Ministers hope the move will help tackle the nation's obesity problem. A spokesman for the company said: \"irn bru will still be made with sugar. We are not removing all the sugar, but we are reducing the amount. \"having worked on this for some time, we are carefully blending and balancing a mix of sugar, sweeteners and our original and best flavour essence to deliver the great taste of irn bru but with less sugar. \"we're doing this because evidence shows that most consumers want to reduce their sugar intake while still enjoying great tasting drinks. \"86% of consumers are concerned about the amount of sugar in food and drink that they consume. \"that said, we have taken the soft drinks sugar tax thresholds into account when determining the levels of sugar reduction, but never compromising on taste.\" In the past year, the company has introduced two new drinks - irn bru xtra and rubicon spring - both of which contain no added sugar. Chief executive roger white said: \"evidence shows that consumers want to reduce their sugar intake while still enjoying great tasting drinks. \"we've responded by significantly reducing sugar across our portfolio in recent years, through reformulation and innovation. \"today's announcement builds on this progress and we are now expanding our successful sugar reduction plans to include our iconic irn bru brand.\" He added: \"we will continue to respond to our consumers and adapt to their changing preferences, offering great tasting products that are right for this generation of consumers and the next.\"",

The dscpa say two individuals attempted to ship the puppies from dublin port to holyhead port in north wales. The dogs were held in \"hugely inappropriate\" conditions, cramped into small containers with \"little or no space, no food or water\". The raid was part of operation delphin, a collaboration between animal welfare organisations and other agencies. The puppies are thought to be about six or seven weeks old and the breeds included beagles, basset hounds, labradoodles and pomeranians. They have now been returned to dublin and under dspca care. A number of them are ill and are undergoing veterinary care at a shelter in rathfarnham. The operation was part of an intelligence-led raid and involved the border force intercepting two vehicles on different ferry crossings. Ian briggs, of the rspca's special operations unit, said: \"these poor puppies were being carted into wales in deeply inappropriate conditions in the early hours of the morning. \"sadly, to unscrupulous dealers, these young pups are nothing more than a cash bonanza - and dealers would have been targeting tens of thousands of pounds from these shipments. \"this is another shocking example of people being readily prepared to act illegally and compromise the welfare of defenceless animals to make a quick buck - but, fortunately, they were stopped in their tracks.\" Brian gilles, ceo of the dspca, added, \"we are delighted with the outcome of this operation. \"we in the dspca believe that cooperating with agencies on both sides of the irish sea in sharing intelligence, resources and cooperating together will ultimately prevail against those who are involved in this disgusting, greedy trade.\"",

Petersen was still there at the close on 105, with captain steven croft on 34, as the division one leaders ground out 298-3 from 96 overs in the day. Teenager haseeb hameed fell 11 short of a second successive championship ton on 89, while luke procter made 45. But the unbroken century stand between petersen and croft put lancs on top.

But, if they maintain their current pace of scoring, the division one leaders will not reach 400 by the time the all-important 110-over mark is reached. Hameed followed up his maiden first-class hundred against warwickshire at old trafford last week by taking almost five hours over his 89. But it was surpassed by the 41st hundred of 35-year-old south african test player petersen's first-class career. Lancashire cricket director and head coach ashley giles told bbc radio manchester:. \"we weren't quite sure what to do when we first turned up this morning.

Speaking during a parliamentary debate, philip hollobone said individual fireworks are extremely dangerous. But business minister jo johnson dismissed a ban and insisted current laws work well. The debate came after a petition to restrict the use of fireworks attracted more than 100,000 names. The petition, which called for restrictions on when fireworks can be used, was started by jill cutsforth, from beverley, east yorkshire, and julie doorne, from sleaford, lincolnshire in a bid to reduce stress and fear in people and animals. But, mr hollobone, mp for kettering, called for the government to go further. He said: \"i think there's great merit in saying all fireworks displays need to be licensed with a licensed operator, and frankly, amateur family-organised fireworks displays in people's back gardens are basically rubbish.\" Labour's angela smith, a member of the the environment, food and rural affairs committee, also backed the petition, arguing that restricting the number of days the public and organised events can set off fireworks should be restricted. She said: \"ideally, we would end the use of fireworks in back gardens. But i do understand the difficulty in delivering that as policy.\" Instead, she called for tighter regulations to govern how people use fireworks. Mr johnson acknowledged the concerns raised but said restricting their use to traditional holidays would be ineffective. \"it is likely that those who already use fireworks in an anti-social or inconsiderate way would not be deterred by further regulation,\" he said. He added: \"restrictions in use could lead to a drop in legitimate sales, leading to job losses not only in the firework industry but independent and associated businesses.\" Bracknell mp phillip lee also warned the debate that restricting the number of days that displays are permitted could reduce the viability of well-performing fireworks businesses.

Herbert kilpin left nottingham to work in italy in the 1890s and later set up the club, becoming the team's first superstar in the process. Robert nieri has been fundraising for a plaque to go outside his birthplace to mark 100 years since his death. He said kilpin was the \"father of italian football\" and deserved more recognition in nottingham. You can read more stories about people who have helped shape sport on our pinterest board. The footballer, who was born at the back of a butcher's shop in mansfield road, started milan football and cricket club in 1899. Kilpin led the club to its first three championships and even designed its legendary red and black striped shirt. He died in 1916, aged 46, and his grave was believed lost until a historian tracked it down. In 1999, ac milan paid for a new tombstone and he was reburied in the monumental cemetery in milan. Kilpin's name adorns shirts in milan and his image can be seen on giant banners on match days. However, in nottingham, there has been little recognition of his achievements and writer mr nieri set out to change that. \"we need to bring kilpin to the fore,\" he said. \"he is the founder of one of the most successful clubs in the world and the father of italian football. \"he taught the italians to play. He's massive [in milan].\" On 22 october, the 100th anniversary of kilpin's death, a ceremony will take place outside his birthplace, and the sheriff of nottingham will name a bus after him. Mr nieri, whose book the lord of milan is set to be released, is also due to fly to italy to start filming a documentary about the star. The humble man who made milan. Details about herbert kilpin's remarkable life only started to emerge over the past few decades. How did a whisky-guzzling, chain-smoking son of a butcher from nottingham come to set up one of the world's biggest and most successful clubs? Other english ex-pats helped him, of course, but it is kilpin who has remained in the imagination here and in italy. While his friends became part of the fledgling italian football association, kilpin just wanted to play football. And that is why, according to some, he is a \"grassroots football icon\" - concerned only by what happened on the pitch. It is hoped more recognition of his story will inspire a generation of young footballers. Source: the lord of milan.",

        "document":"An indian woman who alleges she was forced to marry a pakistani man at gunpoint has returned to india, a day after a court in islamabad granted her request to leave. The woman, named only as uzma, was escorted across the wagah border by indian high commission officials. She has accused her husband, tahir ali, of torturing her. He denies the allegations. The incident comes amid increasing tension between india and pakistan. On thursday, india's foreign minister sushma swaraj tweeted, welcoming her return:. Pakistani security officials escorted uzma, who is in her early 20s, to the border crossing in the morning. She arrived in delhi later in the day. Uzma's return comes as india and pakistan trade accusations over violence in disputed kashmir, territory which both countries claim. Tensions also rose after pakistan sentenced an indian national, kulbhushan jadhav, to death on charges of spying. On her arrival in delhi, uzma described pakistan as \"a death trap\". \"i've seen women who go there after arranged marriages. They're miserable and living in terrible circumstances. There're two, three, even four wives in every house,\" she told a press conference. \"if i'd remained there for a few days more, i would have died.\" Uzma met tahir ali in malaysia and fell in love with him, according to reports. She then travelled to pakistan earlier this month where, she said, she was forced into marriage on 3 may. While there is enough evidence to suggest that uzma came to pakistan of her own accord, it remains unclear why she changed her mind. Tahir ali has said that his father sponsored uzma's visa for pakistan after the couple met in malaysia and decided to get married. Uzma's contention that she was married at \"gunpoint\" sits uneasily against the fact that she, along with mr ali and his relatives, had visited a district court in buner town to get married. The official who performed the wedding says she appeared to participate willingly in the ceremony. Mr ali has alleged that indian officials at the high commission forced her to change her mind. On 12 may, uzma filed an appeal in the islamabad high court, accusing her husband of harassing and intimidating her, and taking away her travel documents to stop her from leaving pakistan. She told the court that he had not told her that he was a married father of four and that she had been \"terribly beaten... tortured physically and mentally\". Uzma also has a five-year-old daughter from an earlier marriage. Her lawyer requested that the court should allow her to go back to india, saying her daughter was thalassaemic and needed daily blood transfusions. Mr ali told bbc's m ilyas khan in islamabad that the charges against him were false - he said she had known about his marital status and was \"disappointed\" that he was not allowed to speak to her under court's supervision. He said he was \"confident\" that she would get in touch with him once the dust had settled.",

The international ski federation president was discussing a proposed blanket ban on russian athletes when he made the holocaust comment, referring to the world war ii genocide that saw six million jews killed by adolf hitler's nazi germany.

Of course it's more extreme.

The case has attracted attention due to social media and the high profile of the football team in the small town. Judge lipps also ruled the non-jury trial would be open to the public. He did so over the objections of the family of the 16-year-old girl who was allegedly attacked. She wanted to protect her identity and keep evidence that might eventually be ruled inadmissible from becoming public. Trenton mays and ma'lik richmond, both 16, deny the charges they face next month at a juvenile court. Three other students who witnessed the alleged attack but were not charged are expected to testify at next month's trial. Those witnesses include two who took a video and photograph, then deleted the images. The ohio attorney general's office told lawyers for those students last autumn that if the images had been found, they would have been charged. Prosecutors say the girl, who went to a school across the river from the city in west virginia, was attacked after an alcohol-fuelled party last august. The case was thrust into the national spotlight after attention by bloggers and the hacker activist group anonymous.

Aquascutum started as a mayfair tailors in 1851, rising to prominence after its founder, john emary, patented the first waterproof textile.

However, dr christopher bowles, co-director of the excavation work in dumfries and galloway, said that may not have been the case. \"the new archaeological evidence from trusty's hill enhances our perception of power, politics, economy and culture at a time when the foundations for the kingdoms of scotland, england and wales were being laid,\" he said. \"the 2012 excavations show that trusty's hill was likely the royal seat of rheged, a kingdom that had galloway as its heartland. \"this was a place of religious, cultural and political innovation whose contribution to culture in scotland has perhaps not been given due recognition.\" Dr bowles said the influence of the kingdom had \"rippled through the history and literature of scotland and beyond\". Mr toolis added that they had not been looking for rheged when they started the excavations. \"what drew us to trusty's hill were pictish symbols carved on to bedrock here, which are unique in this region and far to the south of where pictish carvings are normally found,\" said mr toolis. \"the galloway picts project was launched in 2012 to recover evidence for the archaeological context of these carvings. \"but far from validating the existence of galloway picts, the archaeological context revealed by our excavation instead indicates the carvings relate to a royal stronghold and place of inauguration for the local britons of galloway around ad 600. \"the new archaeological evidence suggests that galloway may have been the heart of the lost dark age kingdom of rheged, a kingdom that was in the late sixth century pre-eminent amongst the kingdoms of the north.\" The two men have produced a new book which details their findings.

At least two more are reported to be missing, possibly kidnapped by the attackers. Reports citing local officials said most of those killed in the drone strike were thought to be from the militant haqqani group. Officials say four missiles were fired by a us drone, targeting two houses and two vehicles, near miranshah, the main town in north waziristan. A number of other people were also injured.

After that incident the pakistani government summoned a senior us diplomat in protest, condemning what it called a \"violation of pakistan's sovereignty and territorial integrity\". At least two key leaders of the pakistani taliban have been killed in earlier us drone strikes this year. Mullah nazir was killed in january and waliur rehman was killed in may, shortly after mr sharif swept to election victory. The bbc's richard galpin in islamabad says that the latest air strike by us forces will further heighten tensions between washington and the new pakistani government. Mr sharif has called for a joint strategy to stop us drone strikes. The issue is hugely controversial in pakistan, where parts of the government and military have often been accused of criticising the use of drones in public, but co-operating in private. Drone strikes are a source of severe tension between the us and pakistan. It is estimated that between 2004 and 2013, cia drone attacks in pakistan killed up to 3,460 people. About 890 of them were civilians and the vast majority of strikes were carried out by the obama administration, research by the bureau of investigative journalism said. Earlier this year, mr obama called the strikes part of a legitimate campaign against terrorism, but he also pledged more programme transparency and stricter targeting rules.",

Luke gale put tigers ahead, grounding a loose ball after salford failed to handle a high kick. Murdoch-masila's try reduced the deficit to two as gareth o'brien missed the conversion, but greg minkin powered over to extend castleford's lead. Murdoch-masila scored his second try to get salford within two points, before o'brien's penalty and drop-goal won it. Castleford had been top of super league before the game after winning their opening four matches, but wigan's draw with huddersfield means they fall to second in the table. Tigers are the leading scorers in the competition this season, but they struggled to break down a resilient salford defence. O'brien missed his first attempt at a drop-goal, but castleford knocked on from the restart to allow the former tigers loanee a second effort. His kick earned salford their third win of the season, taking them up to fifth in the early table. Salford head coach ian watson told bbc radio manchester:. \"i just thought our team mentality and our group unity in what we set out to do this week was brilliant. \"i thought our middles were phenomenal, they controlled our pack. \"he [ben murdoch-masila] is a tough kid and he's a great player as well, we just need to get him up fully fit now and get him running properly.\" Castleford head coach daryl powell told bbc radio leeds:. \"i'm disappointed, it was a poor performance. \"it was a tight game, conditions dictated a fair bit, but i thought we just went into ourselves way too much in the second half. \"it was just one of those games where we just couldn't quite get going, but i thought they played really well. \"if we'd have got a draw at the end it would have probably been a travesty, i thought they deserved to win the game.\" Salford: o'brien; johnson, welham, sa'u, j carney; lui, dobson; walne, tomkins, mossop, murdoch-masila, griffin, flanagan.

Bedene, 26, battled past spain's carreno busta, ranked 23 places higher at 43rd in the world, in five sets, winning 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 4-6 5-7 6-2. It was an impressive show of resolve from the slovenia-born player, who surrendered a two-set advantage. However, he recovered his poise, ending the match with 23 aces. Compatriot andy murray reached the third round with victory over mathias bourgue on wednesday. \"the last few months haven't been the best and i have been struggling but i'm really proud of what i have achieved so far,\" said bedene. \"it meant a lot to win. \"i have only played one fifth set before - in wimbledon last year, and i won it - and it wasn't easy after being two love up but it shows i am fit enough and i am really proud.\" Hindered by a thigh injury, busta struggled to cover the court in the final stages, but bedene's performance was full of grit and determination as he showed he could mix it with a european clay-court specialist. Djokovic is yet to drop a set at the tournament after easing aside belgium's steve darcis 7-5 6-3 6-4 to advance.

        "document":"British researchers have developed a test to detect alzheimer's disease in its earliest stages. It works by looking for a combination of \"markers\" in the blood which are different in healthy people and those with the disease. Delegates at the alzheimer's research uk conference heard that the university of nottingham is now developing a quick and easy test to do in clinics. It could mean much earlier diagnosis and better treatments, they said. The test uses some proteins that have been strongly linked with alzheimer's disease, such as amyloid and apoe. But through careful analysis of blood from people with the disease, as well as those with early-stage memory problems, the researchers detected some other markers that were suggestive of the disease. Most notably, some proteins related to inflammation seem to have been added to increase the power of the test. Prof kevin morgan from the university of nottingham said they still had to validate the test and it could be a decade before it was used in patients. But he added that the combination of markers they had found was looking very promising. \"our findings are exciting because they show that it is technically possible to distinguish between healthy people and those with alzheimer's using a blood test. \"as blood tests are a fast and easy way of aiding diagnosis, we are really encouraged by these findings and the potential they hold for the future.\" He said there were several ways the test could benefit patients, including giving people a definitive diagnosis, which was not always possible at the moment. It could also direct future therapies to make sure patients were getting the most appropriate treatment, he explained. Potentially, it could be a \"cheap and easy pre-screen\" test which enabled alzheimer's to be picked up before symptoms appeared, he said. \"the way we see it working is you can test people and it will tell them if they have the all-clear, or if they are medium- or high-risk. \"if they are medium-risk, they can be monitored closely and high-risk patients can be referred to a specialist for more in-depth testing.\" Dr eric karran, director of research at alzheimer's research uk, said: \"giving people with dementia an accurate diagnosis is not always easy, and so building up our armoury of diagnostic techniques is vital. \"while there is still some way to go before a test like this could become available, the results are promising. \"when used alongside other diagnostic techniques, a blood test like this could be a real help.\"",

The highly symbolic visit, mr xi's first since becoming leader in 2012, comes amid an increasingly tense political climate. Official celebrations are planned, as well as large protests from pro-democracy and pro-beijing camps. Several well-known activists were arrested on the eve of mr xi's arrival. The group, which included student leader joshua wong, had staged a protest at an iconic sculpture symbolising the handover. The golden sculpture of a bauhinia flower - hong kong's emblem - by the city's harbour was a gift from china. Mr xi arrived for the three-day visit with his wife peng liyuan at the city's main chek lap kok airport. The couple were welcomed by a marching band and children waving flags. In a brief speech on the tarmac, he said hong kong was \"always in my heart\". Beijing's central government \"has always been a strong backer of hong kong\" and \"will, as always, support hong kong's economic development and improvement of people's lives\". He also said beijing was \"willing to work with all sectors of hong kong's society in maintaining hong kong's extraordinary journey these past 20 years\", and would \"ensure'one country, two systems' will continue with stability\". The city was handed back from british to chinese rule in 1997. Beijing agreed to govern it under \"one country, two systems\", granting the city its own legal system, limited democracy with multiple political parties, and rights like freedom of assembly and free speech. But china's growing influence has been met with unease and concerns that the mainland could undermine hong kong's more politically liberal traditions. Activists have been campaigning for years for hong kong to have more political freedom. A series of official celebrations are planned for this weekend, as well as the inauguration of hong kong's incoming chief executive carrie lam. But parts of hong kong are under a tight security lockdown amid worries of further protests, with several major roads closed and sections of the city centre blocked off from the public. Thousands of police officers are being deployed across the city and along the route mr xi's motorcade will take when it enters the city. When former president hu jintao visited for the 15-year celebrations in 2012, he was met with hundreds of thousands of protesters, marching against what they saw as beijing's stifling influence on political reform in the city. Tensions spilled over into mass protests in the city centre in september 2014, with calls for full democracy and the resignation of then-chief executive cy leung.",

Thousands of border agency workers are expected to strike on 30 november in protest at government pension changes. Ministers fear there could be major disruption for travellers, so volunteers are being asked to step in. Pcs union chief mark serwotka said ministers were in a \"blind panic\" and should be resolving the dispute. The uk border agency has insisted the civil servants will be properly trained. It is expected they would mainly check the passports of travellers arriving from the european economic area and man so-called \"e-gates\" where passengers use their biometric passports. A ukba spokesman said: \"the security of the uk border remains our top priority and it is absolutely right we explore all options to ensure we minimise any disruption caused by planned union action.\" However, union chiefs expressed concern that the officials might not be properly trained and that borders could be put at risk. Mr serwotka, general secretary of the public and commercial services union, blamed ministers for leaving it so late to try and resolve the dispute. He told bbc radio 4's today programme that the call to civil servants was an example of \"blind panic\" at the 11th hour, he said, and accused the government of engaging in a misleading \"pr exercise\" about public sector pensions to try to force through \"damaging\" changes. \"instead of scratching around trying to put untrained people on the front line, they should say today they want urgent talks to try to resolve the dispute,\" he said. The government has confirmed earlier reports that ukba is planning to fly some officials home from overseas positions to help deal with the strike. In the wake of the recent row between home secretary theresa may and former uk border force chief brodie clark over the relaxation of controls during the summer, it is extremely unlikely that officials would be prepared to bypass any rules to ease the pressure of queues. The bbc has also learned that the government has told union bosses that they are not prepared to offer any further concessions over pension reforms as a result of the planned strikes. The government recently made what it describes as an improved offer to the unions, promising that public sector workers ten years away from retirement would not see any change to their pensions. It also promised improved accrual rates. Ministers fear that any further concessions would send the wrong signal to financial markets by suggesting that the government was not serious about cutting the deficit and making substantial savings in the public sector pension bill. Ministers argue that public sector pensions have become unaffordable because of rising life expectancy, but they insist that even after the planned changes, state employees will still be better off than the majority of workers in the private sector.

In the spending review, chancellor george osborne said local authorities responsible for adult social care would be allowed to increase council tax by 2% above existing limits. By adding in the maximum new levies allowable without a referendum, the lga estimated that band d bills could cost an average of just under \u00a3200 more over the next five years. It said this would not be enough, particularly as budgets continued to face new pressures such as those caused by an aging population. Any shortfall might have to be made up by further increases to costs such as car parking charges, it added. One senior councillor said councils were now also facing \"a reckless gamble\" of having to use cash reserves to fund services. A department for communities and local government spokesman said: \"in reality councils will have almost \u00a3200bn to spend on local services over the lifetime of this parliament, a cash terms increase and a reduction of just 1.7% in real terms each year. \"the spending review offers a \u00a33.5bn package for adult social care to ensure councils can support their older and most vulnerable residents, while at the same time council tax is expected to be less in 2019-20 in real terms than it was in 2010-11. \"with councils accounting for a quarter of all public spending it's right they continue to play their part in paying off the deficit.\"",

        "document":"Darth vader and imperial stormtroopers have invaded a denbighshire seaside town to welcome the actor who plays the infamous villain. Spencer wilding, who hails from rhyl, was the guest of honour at a special screening of rogue one. He had to muster all powers of the force to keep his vader role secret until the film's release. \"it's a hell of a secret to keep,\" said wilding, who was cast as the body actor for the role. \"but when you're a professional actor - when you sign that black and white sheet of paper saying you cannot say a word... I'm true to my word and i didn't say anything.\" Speaking to bbc radio wales' good morning wales programme, the 44-year-old said it proved a tricky task after rumours of the role leaked a year ago. \"i've been having hundreds of people every day for a year asking me if i'm vader,\" he said. \"if i had a pound for everyone who asked i'd be buying myself a new death star - and it'd be gold plated.\" The 6ft 7in (2m) tall actor already has a string of hollywood appearances to his name, including guardians of the galaxy, green lantern, three harry potter films and the tv blockbuster game of thrones. He said the vader role came from a regular casting call, first with a self-filmed tape, then a recall to pinewood studios. \"it's very, very secretive. We didn't even know exactly what the character was and what film it was until we got there,\" he said. \"i opened up the curtain when i went in the dressing room and there he was - vader. \"anybody out there who got into that costume and got an audition to be darth vader alone is very exciting, so to pull the character off as well, it's like'what!' \"i'm always pinching myself - i am definitely awake - it is not a dream, it is just another dream come true.\" While the actor has the body role, just like his predecessor in the original star wars films david prowse, the voice of lord vader is actor james earl jones. That did not stop wilding trying out the voice during filming. \"i'm not james earl jones - nowhere near him - but you know i got close to him i think, which helped the other actors - you know, you've got vader in front of you.\"",

The prime minister has invited his german counterpart for a working dinner at his country residence, chequers. The wide-ranging talks also cover the threat of so-called islamic state, the situation in iraq and ukraine. Mr cameron earlier welcomed estonian prime minister taavi roivas to downing street for bilateral talks. The meetings with his european counterparts come on the day that a new campaign to get the uk to leave the european union is being launched ahead of the in-out referendum, promised by 2017. Vote leave, made up of conservative, labour and ukip mps and donors, says it wants to negotiate a new deal based on free trade and friendly co-operation. Mr cameron has pledged to reform britain's relationship with the eu before holding a vote on membership and will discuss his aims with mrs merkel as part of his continuing negotiations with european leaders. The pair will also discuss the migrant crisis affecting europe, as european countries continue to struggle to cope with the influx of people reaching the continent from the middle east and africa. Russia's bombing campaign in syria is also likely to be raised at the meeting, as concerns grow about moscow's involvement in the war-torn country - as well as its backing for separatist rebels in eastern ukraine. During talks with the pm at downing street, estonian prime minister mr roivas thanked mr cameron for the uk's commitment to send 100 british military personnel to the baltic region. Defence secretary michael fallon has said the troops will deter russian aggression beyond ukraine and reassure eastern european nato members. Speaking at a press conference on friday, mr fallon - who held talks with his us counterpart ash carter in london - said the uk government was committed to building support for air strikes against is in syria. He said russia's military action had made a \"grave situation even worse\". The uk is currently involved in coalition air strikes against is targets in iraq but not syria, after parliament voted against the move in 2013.",

        "document":"Decriminalising tv licence fee evasion could close bbc channels, the corporation's strategy director has warned. James purnell said it would increase non-payment and cost the bbc \u00a3200m. The sum is the equivalent of bbc four, cbbc and cbeebies, which would have to be taken off air, mr purnell said at an event to  relaunch the iplayer service. Culture secretary maria miller said the move should be discussed during talks to renew the bbc's charter before 2017. Mr purnell, who previously held the post in the labour government, said \"it would be a huge risk to do it now\". \"the choice would be: either we take those services off or the government would have to have a higher licence fee,\" he said in reference to bbc four - the arts and culture channel - and the bbc's children's stations. He argued decriminalisation would inevitably lead to greater non-payment of the tv licence, which would force an increase in the fee. It is currently \u00a3145.50 and has been frozen at that annual amount since 2010. It is needed to watch or record live broadcasts on any device. In 2012 about 155,000 people were convicted and fined for not paying the licence fee, while there were some 180,000 prosecutions. Mr purnell added downgrading licence fee evasion to a civil offence would penalise the poor. \"either you have a low penalty - in which case the evasion rates would go up and everyone would have to pay a higher licence fee - or a penalty which is higher and more difficult to pay,\" he said. The bbc has previously said \"legislation is a matter for the government\". \"just a 1% increase in evasion would lead to the loss of around \u00a335m, the equivalent of around 10 bbc local radio stations,\" it added. The government has floated the idea to ease pressure on the courts system. But it will not be discussed before charter renewal talks - which determine how the bbc is funded what it does and how it is managed. The current bbc charter runs out in 2016. Meanwhile, labour mp john mcdonnell has tabled an early day motion in parliament calling on the bbc to reverse its decision to close bbc three as a television channel. The motion stated bbc three has been the home of programmes including gavin and stacey, and raised fears changes could lead to compulsory redundancies. It added the bbc should receive a licence fee increase that tracks inflation when the corporation's charter is renewed next year.",

He also played 15 one-day internationals and one twenty20 match for england, with his last appearance for the national team coming in the first test against australia in november 2013. \"wearing the three lions was the pinnacle and i enjoyed every minute of the challenge, experience and ultimately the success that the team had,\" he added. \"i have been extremely fortunate to have enjoyed such a fantastic and memorable career and lucky enough to play with and against some of the best players in the world.\"",

Mr smith played a central role in the ceasefire of loyalist paramilitary groups in 1994. The announcement came six weeks after the ira announced its own ceasefire. Mr smith spent ten years in prison for his role in the shooting of a catholic in 1972. After his released from prison, mr smith became a member of the pup. In 1994, mr smith chaired a press conference in which a statement on behalf of the combined loyalist military command was read out by gusty spence, a founding member of the uvf. He later served as the chairman of the pup and was part of the party's negotiating team around the good friday agreement.

Nye frankie newman, 17, from aldershot in hampshire, died in the french capital on new year's day. Speaking at the memorial in guildford, his mother debs malone told the crowd of teenagers to carry his spirit \"forever\". A minute's silence was held at the event, organised by the brewman parkour group mr newman co-founded. His friends took part in a \"remembrance jam\" afterwards. Ms malone, 49, said: \"can i ask you all, please carry nye's spirit with you forever and always, and smile. \"i want you all to put your hand on your heart now and we are going to get down for my boy. \"stay safe, stay brave, stay strong yeah? And be happy.\" Alex grubb, 18, who helped to organise the event, described the teenager as kind, caring and \"very eccentric\". He said: \"he had his own style, he wasn't like anyone else. He was a bit out there, very opinionated but very loving at the same time.\" Organisers estimated about 200 people attended the memorial. Before the event, guildford council and surrey police had warned businesses to take \"reasonable measures to prevent rooftop access\". But organiser luke stones, 16, said: \"we have had made it clear people should not go on rooftops. \"if they go on rooftops, it's not parkour, that's another sport. Today, we are sticking to ground level.\" He said rooftop running was more usually referred to as urbex, climbing or roof-topping. Mr stones said people had travelled from across europe and hong kong, where mr newman visited in the summer. He said organisers could not comment on mr newman's death, but confirmed he \"was not participating in parkour\" at the time of the accident. Guildford council said it provided portsmouth road car park as a meeting place for the memorial, but not as a place for free-running. A statement said: \"by providing an area for the memorial event, the council does not condone or encourage parkour or free-running in our car parks, properties or anywhere else in the town or borough, whether it is at a low level or on rooftops.\" Mr stones defended the activity and said: \"it is another form of exercise. \"it is a way to express your emotions through movement. \"when you're doing parkour you're at one with yourself, it's almost like a meditation.\" The uk this year became the first country to officially recognise parkour as a sport.",

        "document":"Global drinks company diageo has released full-year trading figures showing comparable sales remained flat for a second year. The firm, which controls two-fifths of the scotch whisky industry, reported scotch sales down 5% by volume. However, single malts from scotland continued their rise, led by the singleton in the us and taiwan. American whiskey sales were also strengthened by apple-flavoured bottlings. The london-based company has lost momentum due to slowing growth in key markets, including south america and china. It has had lower shipments, as wholesalers have pulled back on stock-holding. Despite flat comparable sales, diageo posted a rise in pre-tax profits - from \u00a32.7bn to \u00a32.9bn. A big increase in volume of sales was driven by the acquisition of united spirits in india, which boosted reported net sales by 5%. Currency movements had an impact on its results, most significantly the venezuelan bolivar and the russian ruble. That cut \u00a3370m from sales and \u00a3100m from operating profit, once translated into sterling. Some markets saw diageo facing tough price competition, including smirnoff vodka in the us and johnnie walker whisky in brazil. Notable improvements in sales were reported for johnnie walker in mexico, while guinness returned to growth in its uk and irish home market. American blonde lager drove guinness sales up in the us. Net sales were up 6% in africa. Other developments during the financial year included a buyout of the remaining half of the don julio tequila brand, the sale of gleneagles hotel and resort in perthshire, and a shifting of strategy in south africa to focus on spirits. Diageo chief executive ivan menezes said the performance reflected the company's sales challenges, and that further changes were under way to sharpen the business. He added: \"we have consistently applied a long-term perspective in making changes, despite the short-term challenges we have faced from an external environment where currency volatility continues to impact the emerging market consumer.\" He claimed the current financial year would see volume of sales improve, rising to about 5% organic sales growth from 2017, with improved margins.",

Weaker commodity prices and consumer spending, together with a slowdown in its key trading partner, china, has hurt growth. Towards the end of last year, however, the economy expanded by just over 5%, boosted by government spending. President joko widodo had promised to lift annual growth to 7% on average. However, the country has seen an average of just under 6% growth over the past decade and analysts have said growth is unlikely to improve for some time. \"the fourth quarter data is a positive surprise,\" economist tony nash told the bbc. \"but unfortunately the uptick will likely be short lived. We expect deterioration in the first quarter and it'll be tough to regain growth momentum before 2017,\" he added. Mr widodo made his promise to raise growth when his five-year term began in 2014, but he has faced problems boosting government spending and has seen several large infrastructure projects delayed. A $5.5bn high-speed railway project, funded by china, was signed last year and is scheduled to be up and running by 2019. But the project has faced widespread objections from transport experts and its long-term viability has been questioned. Mr widodo has also faced international condemnation for the country's man-made forest fires, which have caused serious economic and environmental damage.

It also reported a 16% jump in full year profit for 2012 to nt$94.8bn. Foxconn is the world's biggest contract electronics maker and apple is one of its biggest clients. According to some estimates, orders from apple account for almost half of foxconn's total revenue. In the october to december quarter, apple had sold 47.8 million iphones, up from 37 million a year earlier. Meanwhile, the launch of ipad mini, also boosted sales of its tablet pcs - it sold 22.9 million ipads, compared with 15.4 million in the same period in 2011. However, the heavy reliance on apple has also raised concerns that foxconn's growth may slow in the coming months. Some analysts said the rapid rate of growth that smartphones and tablet pcs had seen in recent years could not be sustained. \"in most of the developed economies, smartphones are at a mature penetration stage and tablets are pretty close to being at that stage,\" said andrew milroy of consultancy firm frost & sullivan. Mr milroy added that apple had so far not been able to replicate the success it enjoyed in the developed economies in emerging markets.

Mr tucker will take over on 1 october, succeeding douglas flint who has been in the role since 2010. The appointment breaks an hsbc tradition of appointing insiders to the chairmanship. One of his first jobs will be to find a replacement for stuart gulliver, the chief executive of hsbc, who plans to step down next year. While hsbc is europe's biggest bank, the bulk of its profits are generated in asia. Mr tucker has been chief executive of aia for seven years, during which he oversaw the insurer's expansion in asia. Before aia, he was the chief executive of insurance giant prudential, and brings to hsbc his experience at the top of a uk financial giant as well as his asian exposure. Richard dunbar of aberdeen asset management, told the bbc the bank has \"obviously decided\" that an external perspective would be useful to hsbc at this time. He added that while chief executive of prudential, mr tucker did a good job of expanding its asian assets, which are seen as the firm's \"jewel in the crown\". Hsbc has been through an overhaul in recent years in an attempt to reverse declining profits. Over the past six years it has cut more than 40,000 jobs and sold off businesses. Despite those efforts, profits tumbled more than 60% last year. The banking industry has been hampered by the extended period of very low interest rates, which makes lending money less profitable. For hsbc, that problem has been compounded by its move into less risky areas of banking since the financial crisis which started in 2007. Those challenges make the appointment of a new chief executive even more crucial for investors, a search which will now be led by mr tucker. Hsbc has also been attempting to repair its image after a series of scandals. Earlier this year it reached a $470m (\u00e2\u00a3325m) settlement with the us government and states related to dubious mortgage lending and foreclosure practices during the financial crisis. In 2015 mr gulliver and mr flint apologised for \"unacceptable\" practices at its swiss private bank which helped clients to avoid tax.

        "document":"India finished the opening day of the final test against south africa on 231-7 - the highest score of the series. Neither side had amassed more than 215 in an innings in the previous three tests and india, who lead 2-0, were struggling on 66-3 and 139-6 in delhi. But ajinkya rahane hit 89 not out in half-century partnerships with virat kohli (44) and ravindra jadeja (24). Recalled fast bowler kyle abbott (3-23) and spinner dane piedt (4-101) were the only south african wicket takers. Piedt, 25, playing just his second test, took four of the first five wickets to fall, including that of kohli whose fluent 70-run stand with rahane was ended in bizarre fashion. The india captain, who won the toss for a fourth time, smashed a full-blooded sweep into temba bavuma at short-leg and after the ball ballooned into the air, wicketkeeper dane vilas dived forward to take the catch. That sparked a mini collapse with three wickets falling for three runs before rahane, who hit two sixes and nine boundaries in his first half century at home, steadied the innings and took india beyond 200. Rahane was helped by jadeja, whose 59-ball innings was ended by a smart dean elgar catch at midwicket off the bowling of abbott. South african abbott, who had earlier bowled cheteshwar pujara and wriddhiman saha, conceded just 23 runs in 17 overs to continue his push to start the four-test series against england, which begins on 26 december in durban.",

        "document":"Indian police have arrested nine people they suspect of colluding to illegally construct a high-rise residential building in mumbai which collapsed, killing 74 people. Those arrested include two builders, police officers and municipality officials. The apartment building came crashing down on thursday. Correspondents say building collapses are common in india, with poor construction practices often blamed. In pictures: mumbai building collapse. There is huge demand for housing, and corruption often leads to cost-cutting and a lack of safety inspections, correspondents say. Police commissioner k p raghuvanshi said the builders were arrested for allegedly paying bribes to police and municipal officials to construct the building in the mumbai suburb of thane without any official sanction. Mr raghuvanshi said on sunday that the nine would be formally charged with culpable homicide and causing death by negligence, once the investigation into the accident had been completed. If convicted, they face sentences of up to life in prison. Most of the victims of the thane collapse were poor daily wage earners working at the site, and their families. The dead included 30 children and 18 women. Building work had continued at the block even though four floors were already occupied. One police official told the bbc that the collapse appeared to have been caused by the use of substandard building material. Witnesses said the construction of the building started just six weeks ago, since when seven floors had been built. The eighth floor was under construction. In a similar collapse in 2010, 69 people were killed in delhi.",

        "document":"Indian restaurants are closing in scotland because strict immigration curbs mean it is difficult to recruit top chefs from the indian sub-continent, it has been claimed. The warning comes as the scottish curry industry will celebrate its annual awards ceremony in glasgow on monday. The rules prevent non-eu chefs being employed if a restaurant offers a take-away service. The uk government said this was designed to drive innovative cuisine. But industry sources say it has led to restaurants closing because they cannot recruit skilled chefs. The rules, laid down by the migration advisory committee (mac) and the home office, are part of the tier 2 visa scheme, which allows workers of sufficient skill levels to be employed on the shortage occupation list. They must be paid at least \u00e2\u00a329,570 a year, and to meet the criteria the job must also not be in a fast food or \"standard fare\" outlet, or an establishment which provides a take-away service. But ajmal mushtaq, who runs a restaurant in hamilton providing up to 3,000 meals a week, said that was \"total insanity\". Holding two portions of a curry - one on a plate, the other in a take-away carton - he said: \"here is a chicken tikka chasni, one of our top selling dishes. \"what the government are saying is: if i put that same dish into a container, i'm not allowed to bring expert chefs over from india. \"the quality is the exact same.\" Mr mushtaq said the restriction meant that plans to expand his restaurant have been put on hold. He currently employs three indian-born chefs who have been in scotland long enough to qualify for permanent resident status, but wants to increase his staffing. \"as a result of bringing over three chefs a few years ago, i have been able to create 52 jobs in this business,\" he said. \"we are at the point of expanding our business. If i were to bring over another two chefs, i would be able to increase the number of employees up to 95 in this one establishment alone.\" The industry has been putting pressure on the government to review its rules, particularly in the wake of the brexit vote, which it sees as offering an opportunity to workers outwith the eu. International development secretary priti patel, who campaigned for a leave vote said during the campaign, said it was a \"travesty\" that curry houses were subjected to a \"second class uk immigration system\" in comparison to eu chefs. With a growth in online apps such as hungry house and just eat promoting home delivery of food, hans ram, chief executive of the catering recruitment agency goldstar chefs, said the government approach to the indian restaurant sector was wrong. \"they have totally misunderstood and misconceived the industry as being a low-paid, low-skilled jobs base. Which it is not,\" he said. \"the biggest consequence to this is actually the skills erosion - erosion of authenticity. \"it is affecting the product that the public are being served.\" He also pointed out that the indian restaurant sector in the uk is worth an estimated \u00e2\u00a34bn a year.",

        "document":"Inverness caledonian thistle guaranteed premiership safety by strolling to victory against partick thistle. Carl tremarco scored a well-worked goal on the break to give the visitors a half-time lead. That was extended early in the second period when miles storey's effort found the net via the post before josh meekings side-footed a third. Kris doolan's consolation gave home fans something to clap but jordan roberts notched a fourth for caley. It was an unusually abject performance from the glasgow jags, who were booed several times by their own fans and now sit six points ahead of the relegation zone with three games left. Media playback is not supported on this device. The match doubled as a bit of window shopping for caley thistle boss john hughes, who has eyes for a few out-of-contract partick players. One of them is steven lawless, who should have done better with a left-foot shot that he dragged wide following some combative work by ryan edwards. Partick's pre-match guide pointed out that the hosts had not scored a first-half goal at firhill since 16 january, and it would be the visitors who hit the back of the net in the opening 45 minutes this time round in maryhill. Inverness broke on the counter attack with just under a quarter-of-an-hour gone and a fine pass by andrea mbuyi-mutombo released tremarco. At first it seemed the englishman was not sure what to do as he surged down the left, but he took the correct decision to plough on ahead and send a lovely finish into the far corner with the inside of his left boot. Sean welsh watched his free-kick well saved by the diving owain fon williams in the inverness goalmouth soon after. Matters did not improve for the hosts after the break. Caley thistle immediately extended their lead when meekings found storey at the right edge of the box. Hands were raised looking for an offside flag but the on-loan swindon town man focused on the task of hitting a shot goal-ward and in it went off the far post from a tight angle. The firhill crowd got even more uneasy when roberts' close-range effort hit the post following good set-up play by mbuyi-mutombo, then partick goalkeeper ryan scully had to pull off a great stop to deny storey getting his second of the afternoon. When roberts' low drive narrowly missed the target moments later, the home support unleashed a barrage of boos. Meekings did not miss, however. His controlled side-foot finish from greg tansey's corner made it three and very, very easy for inverness. Doolan did eventually manage to reduce the deficit, rounding fon williams after his initial effort was saved, but it did not take long for the visitors to restore their three-goal lead. Richie foran - who has had so many injury problems over the last two years - came on as a substitute and delivered a cross for roberts to slam home at the back post and remind everyone which team had been in complete control.",

Iran would continue to back syria, iraq, the palestinians and \"oppressed people\" in yemen and bahrain, he said. The deal on iran's nuclear programme came after years of negotiations. The agreement limits iran's nuclear activities for at least 10 years in exchange for the gradual lifting of sanctions which have hampered the country's economy. \"whether the [nuclear] deal is approved or disapproved, we will never stop supporting our friends in the region and the people of palestine, yemen, syria, iraq, bahrain and lebanon,\" ayatollah khamenei said. \"even after this deal our policy towards the arrogant us will not change.\" The supreme leader also denied that iran was intending to create a nuclear bomb. \"the americans say they stopped iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon,\" he said in his speech at the mosala mosque in tehran. \"they know it's not true. We had a fatwa [religious ruling] declaring nuclear weapons to be religiously forbidden under islamic law.

Mr beheshti died after being held on charges of \"actions against national security on social networks\". Following his arrest on 30 october, he was handed to police for interrogation and died on 3 november. The exact circumstances of his death remain unclear. Some reports have suggested he was tortured. The tehran prosecutor's office says the main cause of mr beheshti's death could be physical shock - caused by the brute force applied to sensitive parts of his torso - or psychological pressure. \"it is not possible to determine the exact cause of death,\" it said in a statement quoted by irna news agency. \"but the most likely cause leading to death may be shock.\" The statement notes that a thorough forensic investigation has been carried out and that prosecutors have obtained witness statements from mr beheshti's inmates and prison wardens. Neither the statements nor the forensic results are in the public domain. An earlier coroner's report said his body had \"signs of wounds\" but no broken bones, according to the semi-official news agency mehr. Mr beheshti's death sparked an international outcry. Last week, three people were reported to have been arrested and subsequently, according to an opposition website, released. According to opposition website, kalameh, the suspects had been involved in mr beheshti's interrogation. Mr beheshti's mother has been forbidden to speak to the press. But an opposition website quoted her as saying she had been offered \"blood money\" in compensation. She added: \"i said i didn't want any. What i want is for the world to know that they killed my son. They killed sattar.\" It is thought mr beheshti was targeted for his writings on political and social issues on his blog and on facebook. The blogger spent one night in tehran's notorious evin prison on 30 october, where he wrote an official complaint to prison authorities alleging ill-treatment, before being moved to an unknown location. His death provoked criticism from politicians and human rights groups, amnesty international said mr beheshti had complained of being threatened the day before his arrest.",

They came from broken homes and are thought to have been controlled by an egyptian man, aged 23. He is under arrest on a drugs charge and was convicted for previous offences.

Most msps on the equal opportunities committee endorsed the marriage and civil partnership bill. But some members were either not convinced by the bill, or had concerns that it lacked adequate protections. The legislation still needs to go through three stages of voting at parliament before becoming law. Under the bill, religious bodies would opt in to perform same-sex marriage ceremonies. In addition, protection would also be offered to individual celebrants who felt it would go against their faith to carry out gay weddings. Same-sex couples in scotland currently have the option to enter into civil partnerships, and the holyrood government has insisted no part of the religious community would be forced to hold same-sex weddings in churches. Both the church of scotland and roman catholic church are opposed to the proposals.

A spokesman said: \"the scottish government's promise of sufficient safeguards have been shown to be hollow. \"real safeguards set out in amendments to the legislation are required to protect the rights and civil liberties of the majority of scots who don't support this law. \"no one who supports the law as it stands should be discriminated against.

It added that some of the victims were accused of possessing weapons, and of being \"infiltrators\" and \"accomplices\" of the militants. Others were killed because they did not have identity documents or simply because of their ethnicity, fidh said.

Hamilton said: \"big congratulations to valtteri. Fantastic job and he deserves the win. He has been fast all weekend. \"for me, just a very, very odd weekend. I am just hopeful in the next races i will be able to pick up the pace.\" Bottas' win ensured the damage to hamilton in the championship was limited as much as possible - vettel now leads by 13 points but it would have been 20 had the german won the race. \"it's great we are ahead of the ferraris,\" the briton said. \"it has stopped sebastian pulling away too far.\" Hamilton was more than half a second slower than bottas in qualifying and as the finn made a blistering start from third and took the lead at the first corner, hamilton did not make ground from fourth on the grid. The 32-year-old suffered overheating problems as he chased raikkonen in the first stint of the race and dropped back over the pit-stop period to finish 25 seconds behind the finn and 36 behind bottas. \"i don't remember the last time we had that [overheating],\" hamilton said. \"it meant i was out of the race from the get-go. \"i think i had the pace to fight with kimi but the car was just overheating the whole the time. I'm sure we will go back to the drawing board and figure it out.\" Bottas joined mercedes over the winter following the retirement of world champion nico rosberg. Bottas said his first win felt \"surreal\", but added: \"it's a good feeling and i am happy.\" He added: \"i always knew i could get good results if everything goes right and i always trust in my ability. But it's nice to get confirmation that the results are possible. \"it took quite a while, more than 80 races for me, but it's definitely worth the wait. This strange opportunity came to me in the winter to join the team and they made it possible, so i want to thank them.\" Bottas moves into third place in the championship, 23 points behind vettel and 10 behind hamilton. He said: \"[winning the title] has always been the only goal for me in my career but i have not had the chance to prove it. Now i have the chance to prove i can win races and titles. Two weeks ago people were saying i am the number two driver but today it looks very different.\"",

Morelos is among the worst-affected states in mexico's epidemic of drug-related violence. At least 20,000 people have disappeared across mexico, the un estimates - other organisation put the number far higher. Investigators at tetelcingo worked under a yellow tent as families of missing persons and national human rights commission representatives looked on. Genetic samples will be taken from each set of remains to attempt identification before they are reburied in marked graves. The exhumation is expected to take about five days. State prosecutor javier perez duron said an investigation was under way into who was responsible for the illegal mass burial. \"it is extremely important and the highest responsibility to count the bodies and give them a dignified burial,\" mr duron said. Experts from the autonomous university of the state of morelos (uaem) have been called in to help with dna testing.

They also rejected a plan to introduce free parking for the first 30 minutes. The changes were proposed by four dup mlas, but infrastructure minister chris hazzard said their motion was based on \"seriously misguided logic\". He added that enforcing the 30-minute free parking system would be \"extremely resource intensive\". However, the assembly did pass a sinn f\u00e9in amendment calling for a review of on-street parking arrangements which mr hazzard said he was \"minded\" to implement. \"i'm certainly not opposed to a review of sorts - a strategic review of on-street car parking policy and the direction of travel,\" the minister told bbc news ni. \"what i was opposed to, with the dup motion, was their pre-determined outcome of any such review, that we would set in stone before we began a massive reduction in penalty fines, i don't think that would be appropriate.\" The rejected dup motion was signed by ex-minister edwin  poots, and his party colleagues william humphrey, george robinson and alex easton. They said \"greater flexibility\" was needed in parking policy to encourage more trade in town and villages. Parking enforcement in northern ireland was privatised in 2006. Initially, fines were levied at \u00a360, with the option of a 50% reduction if the bill was paid within a fortnight. However, in 2012, stormont mlas voted for the penalty to be increased to its current level of \u00a390 - or \u00a345 if it is settled within 14 days. The then roads minister danny kennedy said at the time that bigger fines would \"act as a greater deterrent to those who choose not to park properly\". The current minister said \"at least two thirds\" of people who receive parking tickets pay within two weeks, and therefore pay at the lower rate of \u00a345. \"i think, when we look across many states, this is an appropriate amount, \"mr hazzard added.

Judge aaron persky has been heavily criticised for giving student brock turner six months for assaulting an unconscious woman last year. Two other petitions have reached 115,000 and 175,000 signatures each. The petitions have no legal force but organisers hope they will increase pressure on politicians to act. Mr persky, a superior court judge in santa clara county, california, has reportedly received death threats in the wake of the case. The jail sentence he handed down to turner has been widely criticised as too lenient. Prosecutors had called for six years. Turner was seen by two other students sexually assaulting his victim, now 23, behind an outdoor rubbish bin. He tried to flee the scene but was caught and later admitted to the assault in court. Rights activists and members of the general public have accused mr persky of being influenced by turner's upbringing in a wealthy, white family, and his achievements as a college swimmer. The petition, posted on change.org, says that mr persky had \"failed to send the message that sexual assault is against the law regardless of social class, race, gender or other factors\". The judge said in his remarks that he was concerned about the \"severe impact\" a longer sentence would have on turner's life. Turner's father was also criticised after issuing a statement to the court saying his son was paying a steep price for only \"20 minutes of action\". Turner, who was a promising swimmer expected to compete for the us at olympic level, has been banned for life by usa swimming, the governing body for professional swimming in the us. The victim, who has not been named by the press, read an impact statement in court which was later read by millions.

Foster looked to be in a tricky heat but her time of 11.62 - despite being.22secs outside her best - earned her second spot behind australia's melissa breen [11.54].

Conflict, poverty and humanitarian crises are seen as major factors that leave girls exposed to child marriage. \"child marriage starts a cycle of disadvantage that denies girls the most basic rights to learn, develop and be children,\" said save the children international ceo helle thorning-schmidt. \"girls who marry too early often can't attend school, and are more likely to face domestic violence, abuse and rape.

Chad, niger, central african republic, mali and somalia were ranked at the bottom of the index. The report says girls affected by conflict are more likely to become child brides. It says many refugee families marry off their daughters as a way to protect them against poverty or sexual exploitation. The charity used the example of a 13-year-old syrian refugee in lebanon it called sahar - not her real name - who was married to a 20-year-old man.

The rac said the higher prices were due to a combination of rising crude oil prices, and the devaluation of the pound after june's brexit vote. Average petrol prices rose by 4.4p to 116.7p per litre and average diesel prices rose 5.2p to 118.7p per litre. The motoring body said these were the biggest monthly increases for three and a half years. Its fuel spokesman, simon williams, said retailers had \"no choice\" but to put up prices on garage forecourts. \"the effects of the weak pound have really been felt on the wholesale market, and this, combined with an oil price at nearly double its lowest level in 2016, has put significant upward pressure on wholesale fuel prices,\" he said. \"certainly, we are a long way from the remarkably low fuel prices enjoyed by families and businesses early in 2016, when the average price of unleaded was around 102p per litre and diesel was 101p,\" he added. According to the rac, the increases mean it now costs \u00e2\u00a364.20 to fill the 55-litre petrol tank of a typical family car. Meanwhile it costs \u00e2\u00a365.25 to fill up a similarly sized tank in a diesel car.

        "document":"Police in germany have charged a man suspected of being behind an attack on the borussia dortmund team bus. Rather than having links to radical islamism, he was a market trader hoping to make money if the price of shares in the team fell, prosecutors say. The suspect has been charged with attempted murder, triggering explosions and causing serious physical injury. He has been  identified only as sergej w, and was staying in the team's hotel overlooking the scene of the attack. Two people needed medical help after three bombs exploded near the bus. Spanish footballer marc bartra underwent wrist surgery and a police officer was treated for shock. Following the attack on 11 april, borussia dortmund's home champions league match against monaco was rescheduled a day later, which led dortmund fans to open their doors to stranded away supporters. Police initially treated the blast as a terrorist attack. However, the following week, investigators cast \"significant doubt\" on jihadist motivations being behind it. They now say the attack was in fact motivated by financial greed. Sergej w, 28, would have made about \u20ac3.9m euros ($4.2m; \u00a33.2m) from his actions, germany's bild newspaper reported. In a statement on friday (in german), the german federal prosecutor's office said he has german and russian nationality. He was arrested on friday near tubingen in rottenburg, south-west germany. The suspect had allegedly bought 15,000 put options on borussia dortmund shares - reportedly priced at \u20ac78,000 (\u00a365,000; $83,600) - betting that they would drop sharply after the attack. He would have made large profits if the team's share price collapsed. Experts have likened the alleged plot to a sophisticated form of insider trading - because he tried to use information not widely available to the public to make money quickly. He was staying at the team's l'arriv\u00e9e hotel in dortmund on the day of the attack and had moved to a room on the top floor, overlooking the street where it took place, prosecutors say. The suspect placed the bet on 11 april using an ip address traced to the hotel, after taking out a loan for the money. Investigators believe three explosive devices packed with metal pins were hidden in a hedge and set off as the bus passed. The bus was damaged about six miles from the westfalenstadion - officially called signal iduna park - in dortmund about 90 minutes before kick-off.

Native americans and their supporters have protested against the project for months, and have vowed to fight on.

        "document":"President-elect donald trump has rejected as \"ridiculous\" a cia assessment that russian hackers tried to sway the election in his favour. He told fox news the democrats were putting out the reports because they were embarrassed at the scale of the election defeat. On friday, cia officials told us media they had concluded that russians hackers were trying to help mr trump. Russian officials have repeatedly denied the hacking accusations. Mr trump said it might have been russia but it was impossible to know. \"they have no idea if it's russia or china or somebody sitting in a bed some place,\" he said. President barack obama has ordered a complete review of the hacks, which targeted emails at the democratic party and the emails of a key aide to presidential nominee hillary clinton. The contents of the emails, passed to wikileaks and posted online, were embarrassing to the democrats and shook up the presidential campaign. Senior republicans have now joined democrats in calling for a full investigation. Republican senator john mccain, chairman of the senate armed services committee, said in a joint statement on sunday with top democrats that the cia's report \"should alarm every american\". He said in an interview that the congressional investigation should be more thorough than the one ordered by the white house. In october, us government officials pointed the finger at russia, accusing it of meddling in the campaign to undermine the electoral process. But on friday, the intelligence community went further when us media reports said the cia had \"high confidence\" that russians were trying to influence the election in mr trump's favour. Russians had hacked the republican party but chose not to reveal the contents of what they found, the reports said. But mr trump told fox news sunday: \"i think it's ridiculous. I think it's just another excuse. I don't believe it.\" He said the democrats were behind the news reports, not the cia, because they suffered such a big defeat. While backing the obama review, the president-elect warned that it should not pin the blame solely on russia but on other countries or individuals too. Republican party spokesman sean spicer said the party had not been hacked and the intelligence report was wrong. Mr trump also said in the interview he did not need daily intelligence briefings. \"i'm a smart person, i don't need to be told the same thing in the same way for eight years.\" Elsewhere in the interview, he said:. Mr trump, an outsider who stunned the political world by beating hillary clinton in last month's election, will assume office on 20 january. Why trump strikes a chord with russians. Russia's putin calls trump'a clever man' are there any trump links to putin?",

The international anti-corruption summit - the first of its kind - is aimed at exposing, punishing and drive out global corruption. Political leaders, businesses, sporting organisations, and charities will meet at lancaster house on thursday. Mr cameron says corruption is \"the root of so many of the world's problems\". He also described it as \"an enemy of progress\". \"it destroys jobs and holds back economic growth, traps the poorest in desperate poverty, and undermines our security by pushing people towards extremist groups,\" he added. \"the battle against corruption will not be won overnight. It will take time, courage and determination to deliver the reforms that are necessary. But we cannot hope to solve the major global challenges we face without tackling the exploitation, fraud and dishonesty at their heart. \"for too long there has been a taboo about tackling this issue head-on. The summit will change that. Together we will push the fight against corruption to the top of the international agenda where it belongs.\" Among the world leaders attending the summit are presidents ashraf ghani of afghanistan, juan manuel santos of colombia and muhammadu buhari of nigeria, and norwegian prime minister erna solberg. Russia is to be represented by deputy foreign minister oleg syromolotov. Panellists are expected to include world bank president jim yong kim and international monetary fund's managing director christine lagarde. Under the prime minister's plans, leaders at the summit would pledge to expose corruption and pursue and punish those who perpetrate, facilitate or are complicit in it. Campaigners have also called for a crackdown on tax havens linked to the united kingdom. The recent panama papers leak showed how some wealthy people use offshore firms to evade tax and avoid sanctions. A downing street spokesman said: \"we are in discussions with the overseas territories and crown dependencies with major financial centres about their attendance, and expect a number to join the summit.\" Robert barrington, of anti-corruption campaigners transparency international, said: \"the prime minister is creating a platform for governments that are serious about fighting corruption to make really significant changes and set the agenda for a generation to come. \"what is key now is that other governments are persuaded to sign up to ambitious targets and that the uk government does not give in to the usual last minute attempts by less committed countries to water down the summit's ambitions\".",

        "document":"Prisons are struggling to cope with the increasing number of elderly, sick and disabled people behind bars, a prison reform trust report says. It reveals that those aged 60 and over are the fastest growing population in english and welsh prisons, with an increase of 146% between 2002 and 2014. Those aged 50-59 are the second fastest-growing group, says the report. The government said it was \"committed to providing suitable facilities\". The report comes as prisons minister andrew selous is due to give evidence on older prisoners to the commons justice select committee. Longer sentences mean more people are growing frail in prison, but high rates of social and support needs are unmet, says the trust. Two in five prisoners over 50 now have a disability of some kind, the report added. Trust director juliet lyon said: \"in the last few years, prison has been reduced to a punitive holding operation for people growing older and sicker behind bars. \"prisons are less safe and less decent than they were even a year ago when we published our last report. \"an incoming administration of government in may 2015 must not accept this deterioration in prison standards and conditions as the new normal.\" Although the prison population stands at around 84,500 in england and wales - 20% higher than it was 12 years ago - the national offender management service has had to make more than \u00e2\u00a3700m in savings over the last three years and is expected cut a further \u00e2\u00a3149m in 2014-15.

However, he said his company \"would be active out there\" in campaigning. \"i believe we have to get behind it and make sure that we have a'yes' vote and certainly i will be out there strongly campaigning for a'yes' vote,\" he said. \"we believe the social issues are very important of all of your [company] stakeholders and are very important for this country.\" Australians will be asked their views on same-sex marriage through a voluntary, non-binding ballot to begin next month. If it shows support for changing australia's marriage act, it is expected that a vote in parliament will follow. However, mps would not be bound to vote in line with the public. Mr joyce was one of 20 company chief executives who signed a petition in march calling on prime minister malcolm turnbull to legalise same-sex marriage.

        "document":"Rail ticket machines cause so much confusion that one-fifth of passengers who use them buy the wrong ticket, according to the rail regulator. While 7% of people underpay and could be fined, 13% are paying too much. The office of rail and road (orr) wants train companies to refund passengers who accidentally buy tickets that are too expensive for their journey. Train operators said that vending machines were designed for simple ticket requirements. They say plans to simplify fares will help them to give clearer information on ticket machines. The orr employed mystery shoppers to buy rail tickets from machines. \"despite investment in new technology and the removal of jargon from ticket machines, our new research shows passengers may be paying more for their journey than necessary,\" said john larkinson, orr director of railway markets and economics. \"we are calling on train companies to commit to refund anyone who finds that they could have bought a cheaper ticket for the same journey,\" he added. Rail operators c2c and scotrail already have a price guarantee in place for when passengers overpay. Earlier this month, the rail delivery group (rdg), which represents train operators, announced a trial scheme to simplify fares. It said the 16 million fares on offer were \"baffling\" for passengers. As part of the trial, which begins in may, ticket machines on stations will also be updated, to make sure they show the cheapest fares available. \"to quickly benefit passengers, the rail delivery group must set out what improvements to ticket machines will be made in the short term,\" said mr larkinson. Paul plummer, chief executive of the rdg, told the bbc that operators were aware that there was a problem with machines, and that they had formulated a 10-point plan to improve them. Yet he pointed out the machines were designed as \"queue-busters\" for passengers with relatively simple requirements, but \"expectations [of passengers] had evolved\". He said that the system of fares was far too complicated. The rdg also added: \"complex, decades-old government rail fare regulations make it more difficult for train companies to offer the right, simple options on ticket machines. \"simplifying the number and types of fares in the system will let train companies provide customers with clear information and help them to make better informed choices,\" they added. By ben morris, business reporter. In the british rail era, rail fares were a relatively simple affair, with ticket prices worked out on a cost-per mile basis. But in the 1990s, in an effort to make the network more efficient, the operation of rail services was handed to private train operating companies (tocs). The tocs were given some freedom to set ticket prices, with advanced ticket bookings particularly important to them, as it helps them to keep their trains full. To protect passengers, other fares were regulated, including season tickets and off-peak fares. The result is a patchwork of fares, that becomes even more complicated when a passenger wants to cross several train regions. Savvy travellers have been taking advantage of this by splitting their journey into several tickets, rather than one through-ticket.",

His left-wing social democrat party (psd) had accused him of failing to carry out necessary economic reforms. The prime minister was involved in a power struggle with party leader liviu dragnea, who was barred from office after a conviction for voter fraud. Mr grindeanu lost the censure motion by 241 votes to 10. The decision by his own party and its liberal alde allies to oust him was seen as a first, even for romania's turbulent politics. For the motion to pass they needed a parliamentary majority of 233 votes. The psd won elections in december only a year after losing power. Within weeks, protests erupted across the country over a decree seen as weakening anti-corruption measures in one of the european union's most corrupt member states. In february the eu warned the government in bucharest against \"backtracking\" in its efforts against corruption. Although mr grindeanu withdrew the decree, the crisis weakened the new government and soured relations between the prime minister and mr dragnea. Mr dragnea criticised his rival's performance in government on wednesday, accusing him of failing to push through \"the most ambitious programme since 1989\". Some commentators have argued that his removal was more about relaxing measures aimed at tackling corruption. Mr dragnea, while being the power behind the left-wing party's throne, cannot take power because he was given a suspended jail term for vote rigging and also faces trial for alleged abuse of office.

Johnston's goal put kilcoo 1-6 to 0-6 up early in the second half and was always likely to prove decisive in such a low-scoring contest. Kilcoo's lead was cut to a point but the down champions moved three ahead again and then held on. Scotstown duo francis caulfield and sub brian mcginnity were sent off late on. Caulfield was dismissed after getting a second yellow card while mcginnity saw red after appearing to strike impressive kilcoo full-back darragh o'hanlon. The monaghan champions, beaten by crossmaglen after extra-time in last year's provincial final, only had points from darren hughes and donal morgan to show for their early domination as several other good chances were missed. Kilcoo hit back with five unanswered points after aaron branigan opened up their account in the ninth minute. Conor laverty's typically busy display was crucial to kilcoo's improvement as donal kane, paul devlin (two) and martin devlin also notched points. After being held scoreless for almost 20 minutes, scotstown found their range again late in the first half as the lively shane carey pointed a free and keeper rory beggan also hit the target from a 45 after missing three earlier long-range efforts. Aidan branigan's departure at half-time looked a blow for kilcoo but instead his replacement johnston went on to become the central personality in the match. The sides were level at 0-6 a piece when johnston held his nerve to produce a great finish past beggan after laverty had flicked on a long ball. After shane carey's reply, johnston looked to have palmed in a second kilcoo goal but the effort was ruled out - harshly it appeared - for a square ball. The controversial decision looked as though it could be match-turning as another carey point cut kilcoo's lead to the minimum but crucially beggan and carey then missed chances to get scotstown on terms. Paul devlin's superb long-range point and an aaron morgan score, after more great work by laverty, left kilcoo three ahead with three minutes of normal time left and carey's seventh point was all scotstown could summon in the remaining eight minutes of action. In addition to johnston and laverty, niall branigan and darragh o'hanlon were among kilcoo's stars as they set up a meeting either kilcar or glenswilly on 30 october.",

The saturday concert will be broadcast live on bbc radio 3, while the sunday concert will be recorded for future broadcast on bbc radio 2. Last june, the bbc announced ten pieces of classical music aimed at inspiring schoolchildren to create their own works. Since october 2014, some 8,500 primary school pupils have signed up to take part in the scheme, which offers musical workshops from local arts organisations as well as an online film about classical music, which has been seen by more than 120,000 children so far.

        "document":"Scientists from harvard medical school have discovered a way of turning stem cells into killing machines to fight brain cancer. In experiments on mice, the stem cells were genetically engineered to produce and secrete toxins which kill brain tumours, without killing normal cells or themselves. Researchers said the next stage was to test the procedure in humans. A stem cell expert said this was \"the future\" of cancer treatment. The study, published in the journal stem cells, was the work of scientists from massachusetts general hospital and the harvard stem cell institute. For many years, they had been researching a stem-cell-based therapy for cancer, which would kill only tumour cells and no others. They used genetic engineering to make stem cells that spewed out cancer-killing toxins, but, crucially, were also able to resist the effects of the poison they were producing. They also posed no risk to normal, healthy cells. In animal tests, the stem cells were surrounded in gel and placed at the site of the brain tumour after it had been removed. Their cancer cells then died as they had no defence against the toxins. Dr khalid shah, lead author and director of the molecular neurotherapy and imaging lab at massachusetts general hospital and harvard medical school, said the results were very positive. \"after doing all of the molecular analysis and imaging to track the inhibition of protein synthesis within brain tumours, we do see the toxins kill the cancer cells.\" He added: \"cancer-killing toxins have been used with great success in a variety of blood cancers, but they don't work as well in solid tumours because the cancers aren't as accessible and the toxins have a short half-life.\" But genetically engineering stem cells has changed all that, he said. \"now, we have toxin-resistant stem cells that can make and release cancer-killing drugs.\" Chris mason, professor of regenerative medicine at university college london, said: \"this is a clever study, which signals the beginning of the next wave of therapies. \"it shows you can attack solid tumours by putting mini pharmacies inside the patient which deliver the toxic payload direct to the tumour. \"cells can do so much. This is the way the future is going to be.\" Nell barrie, senior science information manager for cancer research uk, said it was an \"ingenious approach\". \"we urgently need better treatments for brain tumours and this could help direct treatment to exactly where it's needed. \"but so far the technique has only been tested in mice and on cancer cells in the lab, so much more work will need to be done before we'll know if it could help patients with brain tumours.\" She said this type of research could help boost survival rates and bring much-needed progress for brain cancers. Dr shah now plans to test the technique using a number of different therapies on mice with glioblastoma, the most common brain tumour in human adults. He hopes the therapies could be used in clinical trials within the next five years.",

Convicted murderer sweat, 35, was shot twice and captured less than two miles (3km) from the canadian border. His prison-break partner richard matt, 49, was killed by police on friday. The two murderers escaped three weeks ago from the maximum security clinton correctional facility in dannemora through the sewer system after using power tools to break out of their cell. The spectacular escape set off a massive manhunt. Sweat was shot and seized in the town of constable on sunday, new york state governor andrew cuomo told a news conference. He said sweat was shot twice in the torso and was now in hospital in stable condition. The convict was spotted by a police officer on patrol and shot when he tried to run away. \"the nightmare is finally over,\" the governor said. Meanwhile, the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives wrote on its twitter page: \"$davidsweat of the $prisonbreakny captured. Sleep peacefully new york.\" The buffalo news website earlier quoted a source who said that the convict's wound were \"life-threatening\" and he was bleeding badly. Matt was shot dead near the town of malone. The pair had been making their way through rugged forests in upstate new york, stealing food and guns from woodland cabins along the way. Us officials have charged prison worker joyce mitchell with aiding the two inmates in their escape. Prosecutors allege that she gave the men power tools that allowed them to saw through a steel cell wall before bashing a hole through a brick wall and crawling through. Ms mitchell denies the charges. Clinton correction officer gene palmer is also accused of aiding the convicts. Officials allege that he gave sweat and matt the frozen hamburger meat ms mitchell had used to hide hacksaw blades and a screwdriver. Mr palmer's attorney said his client had no knowledge that the meat contained the escape tools. Matt was serving a prison sentence of 25 years to life for the killing and dismembering of his former boss. Sweat was serving a life sentence for murdering a sheriff's deputy. Manhunt timeline.",

        "document":"Some species of insects are at \"very low numbers\" in the uk after months of wet and cool weather, experts say. The buglife conservation charity says the recent period of damp weather has seen the numbers of bees, wasps, moths and butterflies shrink in 2012. Its chief executive matt shardlow said that if the country keeps on having periods of damp weather, then it could prove dangerous for some rare species. \"they might not recover and could be driven closer to extinction,\" he said. This year saw the wettest april-june quarter on record and further heavy rain in july. Mr shardlow said the damp conditions have resulted in fewer aphids for wasps to feed on, which has reduced their numbers. It is likely to take two more years for their numbers to recover, he added. He also said the approximately 250 species of bees in the uk need high temperatures to gather nectar and pollen. \"we are seeing very low numbers of them now, as well as small bumble bees, which is a sign they haven't had enough nectar and pollen to feed on.\" Buglife says there is no specific data collated on various insect numbers, but that its volunteers and experts have been spotting numbers and will detect \"massive year-on-year variation\" which they have reported this year. However, some data is collated on butterfly numbers, and mr shardlow says that this year could see the lowest number of that insect ever recorded in the uk. Moths, too, are being seen in fewer numbers, he said. However, the wet weather has been good news for some insects, such as the crane fly, drone fly and mosquitoes as well as molluscs such as slugs and snails, which all thrive in the damp conditions. \"this means that anything which feeds on slugs and snails will also benefit this year,\" mr shardlow said. \"we've had reports of large numbers of glow worms, for example, which feed on slugs and snails.\" But richard ridler, chairman of essex beekeepers' association, says this year's bad weather has not necessarily killed off bees, just stopped them from venturing out into fields and gardens. \"the problem was that we had an appalling start to the year, which meant the bees stayed at home. Instead of going out, they stayed in their hives and ate their honey. I've had 25% of the honey yield that i would have expected this year. \"so the public saw a lot less of them. I haven't had beekeepers telling me that they've lost more bees than usual. \"this has been the most unusual, bizarre beekeeping year because of the weather. Most beekeepers i've spoken to have written this year off as an interesting experience, and one they hope not to have again for a while.\"",

Before the gallery agreed to remove the painting, called the spear, it was vandalised by two men. In an affidavit, mr zuma said: \"the portrait depicts me in a manner that suggests i am a philanderer, a womaniser and one with no respect.\" Mr zuma, who has four wives, has previously sued local media companies 11 times for defamation.",

The grocer magazine reported that the firm is charging \u00a32.64 for a 250g jar. It is the first supermarket to raise the price of marmite since the recent dispute between tesco and manufacturer unilever over the effect of the falling pound on production costs. A morrisons spokesman said: \"sometimes we have to increase prices as a result of costs rising.\" Unilever has raised the wholesale price of many household products, including pg tips tea and pot noodles, because falls in the value of sterling have increased the cost of products made outside the uk. The pound has lost nearly a fifth of its value since the uk voted to leave the eu in a referendum in june. It is the world's worst-performing currency on the global money markets this year. This makes imported goods more expensive because they continue to cost the same in dollars or euros, but the price is higher when converted into sterling. Morrisons said it did its best to avoid putting prices up. It added: \"more often than not we have been reducing prices and more than 3,000 products are currently cheaper in our supermarkets than they were last year.\" Tesco's row with unilever broke out earlier this month and has since been resolved, according to both sides.

Between 2012 and 2015, cases of syphilis increased by 76%, from 3,001 to 5,288, while gonorrhoea infections rose by 53%, from 26,880 to 41,193, public health england data reveals. The rise was notable among men who have sex with men. At the same time, rates of genital warts decreased, thanks to a vaccination campaign. Rates of sexually transmitted infections as a group also went down slightly, totalling 434,456. But experts say this could be because fewer people came forward for testing. Chlamydia was the most commonly diagnosed sti, accounting for nearly half of the cases diagnosed in 2015. Young people are routinely offered chlamydia screening, but only 13% of young men and 32% of young women were tested in 2015. The large fall in genital warts - a 7% drop - was seen in young women, and experts say this was probably because of the national human papilloma virus vaccination programme. All girls aged 12 to 13 are offered the jab as part of the nhs childhood vaccination programme. The fpa charity's chief executive, natika halil, said boys should be offered the vaccine too, which is something ministers are considering. Genevieve edwards, of marie stopes uk, said the statistics should \"set alarm bells ringing\" about the availability of sexual health services for young people and men who have sex with men. \"we have to keep a focus on preventing sexual ill health, and providing prompt diagnosis and treatment to those who need it,\" she added. The british association for sexual health and hiv said the continued rise of gonorrhoea was extremely disturbing, given the further spread of drug-resistant infections. Dr gwenda hughes, head of sti surveillance at phe, said: \"we need to do more to raise awareness about stis and how they can be prevented, especially the effectiveness of using condoms. \"we recommend that anyone having sex with a new or casual partner uses condoms and tests regularly for hiv and stis.\"",

        "document":"Syrian refugees are likely to have arrived in many areas of scotland by christmas, local authority body cosla has said. The organisation said that councils stood \"ready, willing and able to take at least 2,000 refugees\". All 32 local authorities have agreed to support a \"coordinated response\" to the humanitarian crisis. But not all council areas may end up receiving refugees due to the complex needs of those arriving. At least 18 local authorities could see the first groups of people arriving before christmas, cosla said. The unhcr estimates that 520,000 asylum seekers have arrived in europe by sea so far this year, most braving dangerous journeys from north africa and turkey as they flee the conflict in syria. The scottish government has pledged to accept at least 2,000 of the 20,000 refugees which the uk government has agreed to take. Cosla president david o'neill said there had been an \"unprecedented response\" from scottish local government to the crisis. He added: \"a number of councils had already been in discussions with the home office about their involvement in the syrian vulnerable persons relocation scheme. \"the last three weeks has seen all scotland's councils willing to support a coordinated response to what can only be described as a humanitarian crisis. \"for many councils that has seen them committing to taking refugees immediately.\" Glasgow city council was one of a small number of councils across the uk that had already taken in syrian refugees, with more than a quarter of refugees that have arrived in the uk through the scheme being housed there. Cosla said scotland's local authorities had an excellent track record in supporting the most vulnerable in society and already had effective systems and partnerships in place which makes them well placed to host syrian refugees in their communities. But it said it recognised the scale of the task and the need for detailed planning. Cosla spokesman harry mcguigan said: \"we fully recognise that this is not simply about matching people to houses, and that we must meet the wider needs of people so that they can integrate into our communities and build a safe life in scotland. \"the response to this crisis will therefore be focused on balancing the urgency of the situation with planning the most appropriate ways in which councils and their community planning partners receive and integrate these extremely vulnerable people.\" Cosla called on the home office and the scottish government to ensure the programme is fully resourced so that local authorities and partners in areas such as health, the police and the voluntary sector could put appropriate services in place to meet the needs of refugees.",

        "document":"Talks between greece and its european creditors on a third \u20ac86bn (\u00a360bn; $94bn) bailout have been delayed due to logistical problems, officials say. Greek officials had been expected to meet representatives of eu creditors in the greek capital athens on friday. But a european commission spokeswoman later said those representatives would arrive \"in the coming days\". Separately, greece formally submitted a request for a new loan from the international monetary fund (imf). In a letter to imf head christine lagarde dated 23 july but released to the public on friday, greek finance minister euclid tsakalotos wrote that athens was \"seeking a new loan\". Greece had initially planned not to ask the imf for more funds, reports say. Greek mps have approved tough new conditions set by the eu lenders for talks on the bailout. It is unclear when imf officials will be joining the negotiations. The washington-based imf wants greece's debt burden to be reduced to a level it considers \"sustainable\", but it faces resistance from reluctant european partners. Eu officials said on friday that there were \"logistical issues to solve\" before high-level talks with athens could begin, but that negotiations were taking place at a technical level. The greek team had been expected to meet top representatives from the european commission, european central bank (ecb) and european stability mechanism (esm) - the eurozone's main bailout fund. Talks on the bailout package are expected to last a month. Tight capital controls, introduced at the end of june, remain in place to prevent a run on greece's cash-strapped banks. Pm tsipras faced a backlash from mps in his own left-wing syriza party, during two parliamentary votes on austerity measures required by the creditors in order for negotiations to start. But he secured parliament's backing after a second crucial vote passed early on thursday. The reforms debated this week included changes to greek banking and an overhaul of the judiciary. Last week, greece passed an initial set of austerity measures, including tax rises and pushing back the retirement age. Mr tsipras has said that he is not happy with the measures imposed by creditors but that his government was forced to choose a \"difficult compromise\" to avoid greece exiting the eurozone. A decision on more contentious measures - phasing out early retirement and tax rises for farmers - has been pushed back to august. Demonstrations have taken place on the streets of athens against the bailout deal and trade unions have taken strike action. On wednesday, the ecb increased its cash lifeline to greek banks by \u20ac900m - the second rise in a week. The imf confirmed on monday that greece had cleared its overdue debt repayments of \u20ac2.05bn and was no longer in arrears. The repayments, which included \u20ac4.2bn to the ecb, were made possible by a short-term eu loan of \u20ac7.16bn. Greece's next major deadline is 20 august, when it must pay \u20ac3.2bn owed to the ecb, followed by a payment of \u20ac1.5bn to the imf in september.",

        "document":"Technology that allows a drone to be piloted from the ground using only a person's brainwaves has been demonstrated in portugal. 25 february 2015 last updated at 00:03 gmt. The company behind the development, tekever, said the technology could in the short term be used to enable people with restricted movement to control aircraft. Longer term the firm said piloting of larger jets, such as cargo planes, could be controlled in this way without the need for a crew on board. However, one aviation expert told the bbc he thought the industry would be unlikely to adopt such technology due to a perception of being potentially unsafe. Drone specialist tekever, which works with security firms, police forces and the military, adapted existing electroencephalography (eeg) technology so it could issue instructions to the software used to give the unmanned drone instructions. Eeg works by detecting activity in specific parts of the brain. After several months of training, \"pilots\" are said to be able to teach their brain how to think about moving a small circle on a computer screen either up or down, which in turn steers the drone left or right. \"we believe people will be able to pilot aircraft just like they perform everyday activities like walking or running,\" said ricardo mendes, tekever's chief operating officer. \"we truly believe that brainflight represents the beginning of a tremendous step change in the aviation field, empowering pilots and de-risking missions, and we're looking forward to deliver these benefits to the market with highly innovative products.\" In the future, some of this technology may be put to use to control much larger aircraft, although mr mendes acknowledged considerable challenges with both regulatory hurdles and public confidence. Those concerns were echoed by john strickland, an independent aviation consultant based in london. \"this to me is certainly at the moment a bridge too far,\" he told the bbc. \"you could get someone radically-minded who might say it, but i'd be surprised if anyone would do it.\" Mr strickland said the airline industry was instead focusing its innovation efforts towards things like better materials and more economical engines. Mr mendes said the technology would incorporate safety measures to counteract the effects of someone having, for example, a seizure while piloting. \"there are algorithms on board that prevent bad things from happening,\" he told the bbc. He added: \"technology is evolving, regulations are evolving. [unmanned jets are] obviously going to happen. The question is not if, it's when.\" Follow dave lee on twitter @daveleebbc.",

Thai officials said the event, which was halted minutes before it was due to start, could have affected relations between the two countries.

        "document":"The attack in westminster, on wednesday, 22 march, left four victims dead, dozens injured and millions of people around the world asking why. In the aftermath of khalid masood's assault on london, the bbc received a number of questions from people concerned about safety and security on our streets. Here, bbc london's home affairs correspondent nick beake answers the most popular. Why don't the unarmed police officers at westminster have protective body gear, stab- or bulletproof vests? And do they carry tasers? Nick beake: pc keith palmer was an unarmed officer protecting the palace of westminster, but scotland yard says he was wearing a protective vest at the time of the attack. The force said during the post-mortem examination \"the pathologist could find no obvious evidence of damage or penetration other than the vest having been cut off during emergency first aid at the scene\". Armed officers working at parliament carry a primary weapon, a sidearm and a taser. And an unspecified number of armed response vehicles - three firearms specialists in an unmarked car - are on constant patrol in central london. Will the pavement safety barriers removed from nearby london bridge be restored? Nick beake: the use of safety barriers varies from location to location. The police, local authorities and transport bosses will all discuss where to install extra measures to protect the public. The mayor of london's office says it is currently considering where more barriers could be installed. Why not build a 6in [15cm] concrete barrier on the bridge pavements to protect pedestrians from the traffic? Nick beake: an independent review commissioned by the mayor of london, sadiq khan, last year recommended that more bollards be installed in busy parts of london to protect pedestrians from a nice- or berlin-style attack, where lorries were driven into crowds. The report author, lord harris of haringey, also called on the authorities to make more use of temporary barriers during big public events. What is the correct immediate response for members of the public caught up in this sort of attack? Nick beake: the current terrorist threat is rated as \"severe\", which means an attack is highly likely. The latest advice from the government is to run away from the danger, hide if that is not possible, and then tell the authorities: \"run, hide, tell.\" More information can be found on the gov.uk website. What should we do if we see something suspicious? Nick beake: if you spot something suspicious, ring the anti-terror hotline on 0800 789 321. And call 999 if you think there is an immediate threat. How do we know if something that seems suspicious is actually terrorism-related? Nick beake: it can be hard for experienced police and other investigators to establish quickly if a threat is terrorist-related, but the authorities would rather the public contact them with their genuine concerns however small they may be. It's better to be safe than sorry.",

The rebellion is viewed as a seminal event in the founding of the state. The easter rising was quelled within six days by british troops, but despite its failure it is seen as a significant stepping stone to the eventual creation of the republic of ireland and the partition of ireland.

Edward snowden was granted asylum in russia in august after weeks spent in a transit zone at moscow airport when the us revoked his travel documents. The 30-year-old leaked many thousands of us intelligence documents. The information, published in the guardian and washington post newspapers, revealed extensive internet and phone surveillance by both us and british intelligence. In the us, edward snowden faces charges of theft of government property, unauthorised communication of national defence information and wilful communication of classified intelligence. Each of the charges carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence. Meanwhile, edward snowden met four former us security officials in russia late on wednesday, it has emerged. The officials - who now campaign against what they describe as the misuse of state secrecy - said they had presented mr snowden with the sam adams associates for integrity in intelligence award. The award is given annually by a group of retired cia officers. The officials told russian media mr snowden had no regrets about leaking the classified files and was convinced he had done the right thing. \"he's remarkably centred,\" ex-fbi agent coleen rowley told state-funded rt television. 'legal options' lon snowden, arriving at moscow's sheremetyevo airport on thursday, was met by his son's russian lawyer, anatoly kucherena. \"i'm here to learn more about my son's situation,\" mr snowden told reporters. \"my hope is to learn more about his circumstances and his health and to discuss legal options.\" \"if the opportunity presents itself, i certainly hope that i have the opportunity to see my son,\" he said in televised remarks. \"i'm not sure that my son will be returning to the us.

Inspectors criticised darul uloom school when they saw a \"female governor sat out of sight of the male governors in an adjacent room\". But a statement from the school says the school did not segregate, but was respecting the governor's choice. A wave of ofsted inspections found nine private faith schools \"inadequate\". Ofsted chief sir michael wilshaw had written on tuesday to education secretary nicky morgan with the findings of inspections of 22 private faith schools, in cities including manchester, coventry, birmingham and leicester. These had formerly been inspected by an independent group - the bridge schools inspectorate - but from this autumn ofsted has taken over responsibility for carrying out checks. Religious studies gcse'error of law' inspectors raised concerns including that some of these private faith schools were not \"promoting fundamental british values\" and were not encouraging \"mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs\". They highlighted particular concern about darul uloom islamic high school in birmingham, where inspectors observed that \"the only female governor sat out of sight of the male governors in an adjacent room to the main meeting. \"as a result, she could only contribute to the meeting through a doorway. Governors told inspectors this was their usual arrangement. \"a senior hmi has pointed out to the school that this practice is unacceptable as it fails to show proper respect for women.\" In response, a statement from the school says that visitors, parents and governors can \"sit where and how they wish as they feel comfortable, and we never assert any restrictions on this\". The private boys' schools says it has an \"open door policy\" and has hosted meetings including for a local faith forum and for the west midlands police. The school issued a statement from the unnamed governor saying that \"my request to sit as i please\" was a way of \"demonstrating the school's strong promotion of both islamic and british values\". \"the right for a person to choose is a universal value,\" she said. But she claimed that the \"british values\" requirement was opposed to this. Darul uloom, now rated as inadequate, had been inspected by ofsted inspectors since 2011. In october 2013, ofsted rated it as good and described the head teacher as \"forward thinking\".

Tadashi ishii said he would tender his resignation at a january board meeting. Matsuri takahashi, 24, jumped to her death in december last year and in a note left for her mother, she asked: \"why do things have to be so hard?\". She had started working at dentsu in april 2015 and was soon doing an additional 100 hours a month. Dentsu has been under pressure to reduce the amount of overtime its employees do and in november it was raided by labour regulators. In september, the japanese government ruled that ms takahashi's death had been caused by overwork. She  would often return home at 5am after spending all day and night at the office. On wednesday, mr ishii, who has been chief executive in 2011, said: \"this is something that should never have been allowed to happen.\" While dentsu is attempting to curtail overwork - by turning off lights at the headquarters at 10pm - it admitted that more than 100 workers were still doing an extra 80 hours a month. Death linked to exhaustion in japan is so common that there is a word, \"karoshi\", to describe it. According to government figures, about 2,000 people a year kill themselves because of overwork.",

Researchers from trend micro found blogs on the website had been modified to install malware known as cryptesla on readers' devices. The malware holds files on the host machine to ransom and demands a payment to restore them. The independent said it had removed all ads on the site while it investigated. \"it appears that an advert appearing on that blogsite may have included malware,\" said a spokesman for the newspaper. \"there is no suggestion or evidence that any of our users have been affected by this.\" The spokesman said the site affected was an old or \"legacy\" system that was now rarely visited. According to trend micro, the ransomware has been present on the independent blogs website since at least 21 november. \"we reported it to them on tuesday - but, as of today, it is still happening,\" said raimund genes, chief technical officer at trend micro. \"now we need to go public to warn people who are not using security software like ours.\" The malware exploits a security hole in adobe flash player to install itself on a victim's computer. Once downloaded, it sets about encrypting documents, rendering them useless without the key to decrypt them, for which it demands a ransom. The vulnerability in flash has since been patched, but anybody using an old version of the web browser plug-in could still be at risk. \"for a while on tuesday, the malware didn't trigger. But that was not the independent solving it, it was the attackers updating the malware with a new version,\" said mr genes. \"my advice is to update your flash player. Always do it immediately when it says an update is available, because flash remains one of the main ways attackers can compromise a system.\" The spokesperson added that the media group was now looking into the incident. \"we are currently investigating third-party advertising suppliers that are used by our externally hosted blog platform independent blogs, which is a separate entity to independent.co.uk,\" they said. \"less than 0.2% of the independent digital audience visited this separate, legacy blogsite in the entire month of november,\" the spokesman added.

The oscar-winning john ford film has been conserved in the us national film registry for its \"cultural, historical, or aesthetic\" significance. But brawling and boozing feature prominently in the 1952 film, which was shot in county mayo and county galway. An official warned \"the theme is not likely to be well received here\". Although counsellor joseph brennan said the film's colour was \"beautiful\" and its scenery \"delightful\", he raised fears it would provoke protests from irish-americans. His concerns were addressed to the irish government's department of external affairs in a letter dated 17 april 1952, the irish times reports. He asked for a swift reply as he wanted to gauge the reaction to the film in ireland, but no response was received until june. Another missive from the embassy official in july added: \"if it were to be taken completely at its face value it would be accepted as a rollicking farce and no harm done. \"but i fear it will be regarded by the irish-american element here as purporting to portray actual life in ireland. \"we may then have protests.\" Mr brennan's concerns are outlined in the latest volume of documents on irish foreign policy 1951-1957 which are due to be published later this week. The quiet man, which starred john wayne as boxer sean thornton and maureen o'hara as mary kate danaher, won oscars for best director and best cinematography. When it was added to the film registry in 2013, o'hara described it as \"the first great movie about ireland\" and said it had endured as it was \"a simple and timeless story about people in love\".",

Jon schueler, who died in new york in 1992 at the age of 75, created many of his pieces from a studio in mallaig in the highlands. He was inspired by views of the sound of sleat and also of skye, which lies across the stretch of sea. An arts symposium and exhibition at the college runs from friday to sunday. Called an linne: echoes, reflections and transfigurations, the events mark the centenary of the artist's birth in milwaukee, wisconsin, in 1916. The painter, who served as a navigator on us bombers flown out of england during world war two, moved to mallaig in 1957 and he continued to visit and work in the village in the north-west highlands throughout his career. Many of his pieces were influenced by the changing weather on the west coast and the effect the conditions had on the sea. Magda salvesen, curator of the jon schueler estate, said: \"the sound of sleat became to schueler a place of experience, memory and mood. \"the specificity of this body of water fed schueler's paintings - their imagery enlarged through layers of memory. \"how appropriate and challenging that the symposium celebrating the artist's centenary should be held on skye, an island seen through changing weather from his studio in mallaig.\" The celebration at smo - scotland's national centre for gaelic language and culture, and which offers a jon schueler residency scholarship - includes talks on schueler's life and work and an exhibition of selected pieces from his time in mallaig. Donnie munro, director of development, fundraising and the arts at smo, described the artist as having a \"profoundly deep experiential affinity with the sound of sleat\".

He said his biggest fear was a fire in one of the nuclear waste silos or in one of the processing plants. The manx government said it was particularly concerned about \"the structural integrity of ageing waste storage ponds and silos\".

A spokesman said under new proposals, no-one younger than 18 or older than 75 would be allowed to climb. The ministry of tourism could also insist that all climbers have previous mountaineering experience. Nepal makes millions of dollars every year from the everest industry but has been criticised for poor management. In 2014, the mountain was closed after 16 sherpas (guides) died in an accident. And earlier this year, the climbing season was called off after a massive earthquake triggered an avalanche that killed 18 climbers. Over the past decade many people have sought to establish world records on the world's highest mountain, a practice the government wants to discourage. The youngest person to climb mount everest was 13 and the oldest 80. \"we don't think we should issue permits to people who cannot see or walk or who don't have arms,\" tourism department chief govinda karki told afp news agency. \"climbing everest is not a joke... it is not a matter of discrimination. How can you climb without legs? Someone will have to carry you up. We want to make the mountains safer for everyone, so we have to insist on some rules.\" Mr karki also said the government was considering only issuing permits to climbers who have already scaled another mountain above 6,500m (21,300ft). Over the years, everest has attracted many climbers aiming to overcome their disabilities. Last week, japanese mountaineer nobukazu kuriki, who had previously lost nine fingers to frostbite, abandoned his attempt to climb the mountain. In 2006, new zealander mark inglis, who had lost both legs to frostbite, became the first double amputee to reach the 8,848m (29,029ft) summit.

        "document":"The oil price has fallen to a new seven-year low after the international energy agency (iea) forecast a slowdown in growth in demand for oil. The price of brent crude oil fell below $39 a barrel at one point, its lowest since december 2008. The iea said demand in the current quarter was growing by 1.3 million barrels a day, down from 2.2 million barrels in the previous quarter. The iea predicts that will slip back to 1.2 million barrels a day next year. The price of brent crude fell to $38.90 a barrel at one point, before recovering slightly to $39.13 - still down 60 cents in the trading session. Us crude oil also fell, down 50 cents to $36.12 a barrel. Oil prices are down more than 10% over the week. The trigger was a meeting of oil producers' cartel opec late last week, which broke up in disarray as the member countries failed to agree to put a lid on production. Opec producers pumped more oil in november than in any month since late 2008, almost 32 million barrels per day. That comes at a time when the world's economic growth is slowing, blunting demand for raw materials. The iea said that although consumption was likely to have peaked in the third quarter, demand growth of 1.2 million barrels a day was still healthy. Earlier this week, the us energy information administration forecast that us shale oil production, now a major source of oil supply, would fall in january for the ninth month in a row. Sustained falls in output could help to stabilise the price of oil, although some market forecasters suggest the price could continue to fall to as low as $20 a barrel.",

Benchmark brent crude hit $50.22 per barrel at one stage on thursday, its highest level since early november. The rise followed us data showing that oil inventories had fallen after supply disruptions due to fires in canada. Brent crude has now risen 80% since it hit 13-year lows of below $28 a barrel at the start of the year. Us crude oil inventories fell by 4.2 million barrels to 537.1 million barrels in the week to may 20, according to us department of energy data. Canada is the biggest supplier to the us and wildfires in the western provinces have reduced supplies by about a million barrels per day. Talks in recent months between opec and russia about freezing oil production had already encouraged a price rise. Short-term disruptions to oil supplies have also lifted the price, offsetting higher production from iran and saudi arabia. As well as the disruption to key oil production facilities in canada, attacks by militant groups continue to restrict oil pipelines in nigeria. Demand has also been better than expected from major economies such as china, india and russia. Michael hewson, chief market analyst at cmc markets, said: \"we do now appear to be seeing the effects that the decline in us output is having, and while supplies remain elevated, the glut does now appear to be diminishing.\" Against this backdrop, analysts are starting to raise their forecasts. Goldman sachs said earlier this month that it now expected oil prices to consistently hit $50 a barrel in the second half of 2016 and $60 by the end of 2017. The us bank said: \"the oil market continues to deliver its share of surprises, with low prices driving disruptions in nigeria, higher output in iran and better demand. \"with each of these shifts significant in magnitude, the oil market has gone from nearing storage saturation to being in deficit much earlier than we expected.\" In a sign of growing confidence, oil companies have started preparing for higher prices. Bp said last month it had budgeted for prices of at least between $50 and $55 a barrel in 2017. And last month us oil producer pioneer natural resources announced plans to add up to 10 new rigs when the oil price gets back up to $50. Adam laird, an investment manager at hargreaves lansdown, told the bbc: \"this is an area that's been starved of resources and investment and that psychological barrier [of $50] could be enough to make some executives reassess.\" However, mr laird cautioned that price volatility was likely to continue. \"it's too early to say this is the beginning of the big rebound,\" he said. Abhishek deshpande, an oil markets analyst at natixis, agreed and said: \"we believe that the market is going up, but if it goes too quickly there will be auto-corrections.\"",

Ms soulsby said currently states accounts do not show what is spent on advertising and promotion. She said the states hoped to produce a set of accounts that were \"more meaningful and transparent\". The figures, from an access to public information request, showed in-house staff costs came to just over \u00a3397,000 for the time period. The cost of third party public relation companies was just over \u00a3300,000 with two thirds going to tourism marketing spend and other promotional work. The total cost for advertising was just over \u00a31.1million, which includes legally required adverts. Nearly \u00a3800,000 of the advertising cost was for states recruitment and advertising purposes. Guernsey's states chief executive, paul whitfield, said \u00a3300,000 being spent on third party public relations firms would be subject to a states-wide procurement policy. He said civil service public relations roles could be changed to reduce costs for taxpayers. Adam riddell, chair of the chartered institute of public relations channel islands, said any organisation needed to justify its spend on public relations activity, and that justification needed to be based on \"whether that spend has produced the desired outcomes\".",

        "document":"The two most notorious and violent street gangs in honduras have promised to end the violence which has claimed tens of thousands of lives. Mara salvatrucha and mara 18 street said they would commit to zero crime and zero violence on the streets. Honduras has one of the highest murder rates in the world. Although no formal peace deal has been signed, the apparent ceasefire is thought to be the first step towards a more lasting agreement. \"our truce is with god, with society and with the authorities,\" announced a spokesman for mara salvatrucha, identified only as marco. \"we ask society and the authorities to forgive us for the damage we have done,\" he said at a news conference inside a prison in the honduran city of san pedro sula. A leader of the rival 18 street gang - who did not want to be identified - offered the same promises, but only \"if the government will listen,\" he added. On monday, the honduran president porfirio lobo personally offered his support for the truce. \"we have to look for anything that's an alternative to violence,\" he told the associated press news agency. \"on the part of the government, we are open to any process that can lower violence.\" The roman catholic bishop romulo emiliani, who helped to broker the deal, said last week that the gangs needed government help to break away from their criminal activities, which included extorting money from businesses to finance their war. He said the authorities should try to turn honduras' prisons into rehabilitation centres. His comments were echoed by gang leader marco, who called on the government to support craft workshops so that they could work, earn a living and be reintegrated into society. \"i want my son to be a doctor or a cameraman, not a gangster,\" he said. The bbc central america correspondent will grant says this is a significant step towards a full peace accord. He adds that, in honduras, hopes remain high that this latest plan could help tackle gang crime in the country. The deal follows a similar pact reached more than a year ago in neighbouring el salvador. The peace agreement there has roughly held together and, the authorities say, has contributed to a significant reduction in the murder rate and incidences of other violent crimes. The salvadorian government says homicides have dropped about 52%. Mara salvatrucha and mara 18 street have their roots in the 1980s in southern california. They were created in los angeles and its suburbs by poor, mostly illegal, immigrants who had escaped civil wars in central america. When the conflicts ended there, many gang members were deported from the us, exporting la's gang culture with them.",

David davis rebuffed nicola sturgeon's calls for holyrood to be given powers over areas such as immigration as part of any deal with brussels. The conservative politician was in scotland a day after the scottish government published its draft independence referendum bill. He met his scottish government counterpart michael russell for talks. When asked if the first minister is being \"realistic\" with her demands, he said: \"they are both reserved powers. Immigration and international affairs are both reserved powers.\" Before the eu referendum in june, leading brexit campaigner and then justice secretary michael gove had suggested scotland could get powers over immigration as part of a deal to leave the eu. But mr davis said: \"it's hard to see how a separate immigration policy would work.\" He insisted the brexit arrangements would be a \"united kingdom deal\", rejecting the idea put forward by the scottish government that the country should be able to keep its place in the european single market. First minister nicola sturgeon has said a referendum will be called if it is felt necessary to \"protect scotland's interests\" in the wake of the brexit vote. But she has insisted her government was \"exploring all of the options\" for safeguarding scotland's place in europe, and has said she will publish proposals in the coming weeks for keeping scotland in the european single market even if the uk leaves. After his first meeting with mr davis, mr russell said he expected to soon be able to announce a formal process for scottish input into the brexit process. Speaking at strathclyde university in glasgow, mr davis said while it has \"got to be a united kingdom deal\", it would \"incorporate protection for the people of scotland\". He also said the eventual agreement would \"reflect the interests of the people of scotland\". Mr davis stated: \"the aim is to get the maximum possible barrier-free access to the european union market, as well as being able to get other markets globally. \"how we achieve that? We're not at that stage yet, but that's the aim.\" He continued: \"i don't think the scottish people want another referendum, but that's for them. \"i have simply got the single aim in front of me, which is to get the best deal possible, and that includes the best deal for the scottish people.\" Yesterday the prime minister of malta, joseph muscat, said that he thinks the united kingdom might actually rein back on brexit. Mr davis told bbc scotland that is not the case: \"that's not going to happen. The prime minister has made clear that the now infamous phrase'brexit means brexit' is going to happen. \"the people have given us an instruction, we have to carry it out.\"",

Speaking after briefing the security council on the peace process, staffan de mistura said a partial truce agreed in february was \"barely alive\". Violence in syria has intensified in recent days, despite the ceasefire. At least 20 civilians were reportedly killed on wednesday in government strikes on a hospital and nearby residential building in eastern aleppo. The dead included children, a dentist and the only paediatrician left in rebel-held areas of the city, civil defence volunteers told afp news agency. The upsurge in fighting in syria's largest city comes amid reports that government forces, backed by russian air power, are gearing up for a major offensive there. Russia's continuing war. Has opportunity for peace been lost? What is left of syria? Assad's growing confidence. The escalation has threatened to derail the un-brokered peace talks, which resumed last month. The western-backed opposition delegation, the high negotiations committee (hnc), last week suspended its role to protest against alleged ceasefire violations by the government and a fall in humanitarian aid deliveries to besieged areas. Speaking on wednesday after a third round of talks in geneva, mr de mistura said the fragile \"cessation of hostilities\" \"could collapse any time\". He said that over the past 48 hours an average of one syrian had been killed every 25 minutes and one wounded every 13 minutes. For the peace talks to succeed, mr de mistura said, hostilities would need to be reduced to the levels seen immediately following the february agreement. Calling on the us and russia to co-operate, mr de mistura said that the legacies of both president barack obama and president vladimir putin were linked to the success of the peace process in syria. There will be one or two more rounds of talks before july, mr de mistura said. He added: \"there are still major differences on the major issues, but there is movement on certain areas where there was not before.\" Mr de mistura also said that equal rights and equal representation in major institutions for women was essential to the transition to a new syria. The peace talks do not involve the al-qaeda-linked al-nusra front and the so-called islamic state, which have been fighting government forces and other rebels across syria. The uk-based syrian observatory for human rights monitoring group confirmed on wednesday that the air strikes on a hospital and nearby buildings in aleppo were carried out by \"regime airplanes\". Separately, 11 people were killed in western aleppo earlier on wednesday, the syrian observatory said. More than 270,000 people have been killed since syria's bitter civil war conflict erupted in 2011 and millions have been forced to flee.",

Washington blamed russia and the syrian government for intensifying their attacks against civilians. Last week, the us warned it would halt the talks unless moscow stops bombing the city of aleppo. Russia said it regretted the us move, accusing it of shifting the blame for the collapse of last month's truce. Aleppo, syria's largest city in the north, has come under heavy aerial bombardment since the end of the ceasefire two weeks ago. The main trauma hospital in the rebel-held eastern part of the city was hit in an air strike for the third time in a week, activists said on monday. Hundreds of people, including children, have died since government forces launched an offensive to take full control of aleppo after the week-long truce lapsed. Some 250,000 people are trapped in eastern aleppo. In a statement, state department spokesman john kirby said: \"the united states is suspending its participation in bilateral channels with russia that were established to sustain the cessation of hostilities. \"unfortunately, russia failed to live up to its own commitments... and was also either unwilling or unable to ensure syrian regime adherence to the arrangements to which moscow agreed. \"rather, russia and the syrian regime have chosen to pursue a military course,\" mr kirby said, admitting that \"this is not a decision that was taken lightly\". He said moscow and syrian president bashar al-assad's troops had been \"targeting of critical infrastructure such as hospitals, and preventing humanitarian aid from reaching civilians in need, including through the 19 september attack on a humanitarian aid convoy\". Moscow strongly denies involvement of its own or syrian planes in the deadly aid convoy strike, and says the incident was caused by fire on the ground and not by an air strike. In response to the us suspension of the talks, russian foreign ministry spokeswoman maria zakharova said: \"we regret this decision by washington.\" \"washington simply did not fulfil the key condition of the agreement to improve the humanitarian condition around aleppo. \"after failing to fulfil the agreements that they themselves worked out, they are trying to shift responsibility on to someone else,\" ms zakharova said. She also said that the us had failed to divide jihadist groups in syria from the moderate opposition. Russia and the us were due to convene in geneva to try to co-ordinate air strikes against jihadist groups, but american officials were told to return home. The us also said that it would withdraw personnel \"that had been dispatched in anticipation of the possible establishment of the joint (us-russian) implementation centre\".

        "document":"The us senate has failed to pass a republican proposal to repeal president barack obama's signature healthcare policy without replacing it. The 45-55 vote marks the second defeat for republicans aiming to pass a bill this week to undo the health policy. The vote came a day after the senate rejected a plan to repeal and replace the health law with a republican plan. Senators will now consider a \"skinny\" repeal, which would scale back some of the more controversial provisions. The \"skinny\" plan would eliminate unpopular parts of obamacare - the affordable care act - including the individual mandate requiring all americans to have health insurance coverage as well as a tax on medical devices. If that measure passes, the senate and house of representatives would then be tasked with finalising a bill that could still change during negotiations. If successful, the full house and senate would again have to approve the measure. Seven republicans opposed the repeal-only plan on wednesday, which included a two-year delay on a replacement in the hope of finding agreement before that time elapses. The defeat is the latest blow for president donald trump, who put repealing obamacare at the centre of his election campaign, and underscores sharp divisions within the republican party over a replacement plan. A proposal to repeal and replace obamacare with the better care reconciliation act (bcra), a republican plan that was crafted over last two months, collapsed on tuesday night after nine republicans voted against it. Republicans have long railed against obamacare as government overreach, criticising the system for introducing government-run marketplaces, where premiums have risen sharply for some people. The party's proposed alternative included steep cuts to medicaid, a healthcare programme for the poor and disabled. And it removes obamacare's individual mandate requiring all americans to have health insurance or pay a tax penalty. About 20 million people gained health insurance under former president obama's affordable care act. The non-partisan congressional budgetary office (cbo) found the bill would strip 22 million americans of health insurance over the next decade. Other attempts to replace obamacare have failed in recent weeks due to republican divisions. In an early morning tweet on wednesday, mr trump lambasted republican senator lisa murkowski of alaska for opposing the party's plan, saying she \"really let the republicans, and our country, down yesterday. Too bad!\" Mrs murkowski was one of two republicans earlier on tuesday to vote against allowing the debate on healthcare legislation reform to go forward. But her party eked out a victory after vice president mike pence cast the tie-breaking vote which allowed discussion to take place. Senator john mccain, who was recently diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour, received a standing ovation as he returned to congress to cast his \"yes\" vote. President trump tweeted his thanks to the arizona senator for playing \"such a vital role\" in the vote.",

The figures come days after dozens of migrants attempted to storm the channel tunnel's calais terminal. The home office said it was providing funding to bolster security and that many crossing attempts had been foiled. The foi shows 46 illegal immigrants were detained or arrested at dover - one of the main gateways to britain - between january and april this year. The number of detentions and arrests is also up significantly from 2012, when 105 were held or arrested. Around 3,000 migrants from countries including eritrea, syria and afghanistan are camped at a site dubbed \"the jungle ii\" near the port of calais. French aid workers have reported a \"catastrophic\" situation there. Road haulage association chief executive richard burnett, who recently visited calais, said migrants are going to great lengths to cross the channel.

        "document":"Thousands of elderly people are missing out on free personal care because of delays to assessments and care arrangements, a charity has claimed. Age scotland says official figures suggest that each year about 8,640 people in scotland wait longer than six weeks for a council care assessment. The average \"worst case\" is between two weeks and five months, with the longest delay of 18 months recorded in 2014\/15. Cosla, the umbrella body for local councils, declined to comment. Age scotland's research, compiled using freedom of information requests, found significant variations across councils in the time taken to carry out assessments. Under national guidelines, people should wait no longer than six weeks for care services to be provided after an assessment has taken place. Age scotland found that about 10% of people were not provided with services within the six-week limit over the past three years. The charity said its research suggested that about 3,000 elderly people each year wait longer than six weeks for services to be put in place. Most councils do not record the reasons why delays occur, but many cited instances where delays were caused by the person being admitted to hospital or waiting for a place in their chosen care home. Staff shortages, financial constraints and delays in adapting homes were also cited. Age scotland received freedom of information responses from 25 out of 32 councils. Chief executive keith robson said: \"these are deeply concerning figures showing thousands of older people facing delays in the care provision they need being put in place. \"it also means payments for free personal care they are entitled to are not being received. \"this confirms the experiences of a number of older people and their families who have been in touch with age scotland's helpline to tell us their experiences of delays in the system. \"as we look to local authority elections next month, age scotland has contacted council candidates across scotland to ask them to ensure providing high-quality health and social care services is made an urgent priority by new administrations.\"",

        "summary":"Thousands of people have taken part in a protest in the jordanian capital, amman, against a new electoral law.",
        "document":"Thousands of jordanians have attended a protest demanding political reforms in amman, hours after king abdullah called early parliamentary elections. The muslim brotherhood's political wing, the islamic action front, called for broader political representation and a more democratic parliament. People at the protest chanted: \"the people want to reform the regime.\" On thursday evening, the king dissolved parliament and called early elections, though he did not specify a date. He has said he wants polls to be held by the end of the year. The iaf said it expected 50,000 people to take part in the protest outside the capital's al-husseini mosque after friday prayers. But the bbc's wyre davies put the turnout at 10,000 people, which he said was the biggest protest seen in jordan for several years. Video footage showed protesters chanting slogans and waving flags. The afp news agency quoted people as shouting: \"we demand constitutional reform before the people revolt. The people want to reform the regime.\" A counter-rally, in support of king abdullah, which organisers had predicted would attract 200,000 supporters, was cancelled late on thursday in order to prevent clashes between the two groups. Earlier, police said they had detained eight people travelling towards the rally and had seized three vehicles containing sticks, knives and guns. Friday's protest in the capital and the dissolution of parliament come amid mounting opposition anger at the electoral law passed in july by the government of the conservative prime minister fayez al-tarawneh. The electoral law increased the number of seats in the house of representatives from 120 to 150 seats and gave the electorate two votes - one for a district representative and one for national level lists that include political parties - replacing the single non-transferable vote. The iaf's leader, hamza mansour, dismissed the legislation as \"just a cosmetic change meant to buy time and insufficient for real reforms\". Opposition parties demanded that 50% of seats be allocated to party lists, but the new electoral law gave them just 27 seats, or 18%. They also complained that the new law would strengthen supporters of the king by allocating three more seats for women from bedouin districts. This, they argued, would continue to marginalise jordanians of palestinian origin - who make up 60% of the population but have little political power - in favour of those descended from jordan's original bedouin inhabitants - whose tribes dominate the government and security forces and are the bedrock of the hashemite monarchy. Traditionally, many of the iaf's supporters have been jordanians of palestinian origin. The opposition also demanded that parliament, rather than the king, should have the right to appoint and dismiss the prime minister. Despite the call for reforms, jordan has so far avoided the unrest and political upheaval that rocked much of the arab world last year. Protests have been relatively small and have not gained the same level of political momentum as those in tunisia, egypt, libya, yemen and syria. Correction 25 january 2013: a previous version of this story incorrectly stated that members of the jordanian security forces were allowed to vote for the first time.",

The ex-pupils were caught up in a violent dispute outside holy cross primary school in 2001, which made headlines around the world at the time. The department of justice confirmed the payments after a freedom of information request from the belfast telegraph. The doj has received eight claims so far, three of which have been settled. The payments were made under the terms of the northern ireland criminal injuries compensation scheme 2002. However, the department would not disclose how much money has been paid out to the former holy cross pupils, in order to protect their identities. It told the newspaper this level of detail was \"exempt from disclosure\" under the freedom of information act and would \"contravene the first principle of the data protection act\". The school was thrust into the international spotlight at the start of term in september 2001, when hundreds of loyalist protesters tried to block the main route taken by the children and their parents on their walk to class. The three-month protest was sparked by a local dispute between catholic and protestant residents in ardoyne, north belfast. The protestants claimed that catholics were attacking their homes and said the school protest was their way of highlighting their concerns. However, stones, bottles, fireworks and even a blast bomb were used during weeks of unrest. Following the initial violence, the police and army put up crash barriers to keep a corridor route open for the holy cross pupils. Armed police officers escorted the children to class until the dispute was resolved. Ardoyne's parish priest at the time, fr aidan troy, told the belfast telegraph he could \"fully understand why people who have been through trauma would want to apply for compensation\". \"these were girls aged between four and 11, they were very young and very impressionable and were deeply affected by it. Every one of us were,\" he said. The priest added that while he would not \"go down the route of compensation myself\" he could \"well imagine the impact would be very great on children at such a formative age\". \"you could see their trauma,\" said fr troy. About 100 pupils needed counselling due to their daily ordeal, according to principal at the time, anne tanney. Speaking to the bbc in 2004, she said that even as an adult, she was traumatised by the protests. \"there were times when i couldn't eat, couldn't sleep,\" she said. \"i used to bite my lip, trying not to cry in front of the children.\"",

        "document":"Two turkish soldiers have been killed and 31 wounded in a suicide attack by kurdish pkk militants, the turkish military says. A tractor laden with explosives was driven at a military police station, a statement said. The attack happened early on sunday near the town of dogubayezit in agri province, near the border with iran. Since 24 july, turkey has carried out hundreds of air raids on pkk bases on both sides of the iraq-turkey border. A turkish state news agency, anadolu, said the tractor was carrying two tons of explosives that were detonated by a suicide bomber. Turkey's army said in a statement that \"long-range guns\" were also found. Four of the injured were in a serious condition. The statement said the karabulak gendarmerie station was hit at around 03:00 local time on sunday (midnight gmt). Images in the turkish press showed a badly-damaged building with the roof destroyed. One report said the blast was so strong that houses in a village several hundred metres away were hit by debris and some residents were slightly injured. The dogan news agency added that militants also set up ambushes on roads to prevent medical teams getting to the scene. There has been no comment from the pkk so far. Afp news agency said it would be the first time the group was accused of deploying a suicide bomber during recent clashes. Turkey says the group was behind a number of attacks in the last two weeks:. Turkey's official news agency says about 260 kurdish fighters have been killed in strikes in northern iraq and turkey since 24 july. It has also targeted positions held by the islamic state group. At least six people were killed and several wounded in further turkish air strikes on saturday east of erbil, said local officials. The pro-pkk firat news agency described an attack on the village of zerkel as a \"massacre\". Iraqi kurdish president massoud barzani said: \"we condemn the bombing, which led to the martyrdom of the citizens of the kurdish region, and we call on turkey to not repeat the bombing of civilians.\" The turkish military on sunday said it had investigated the incident and dismissed claims that there could have been civilian casualties in zerkel, reuters reported. Turkey considers both the pkk and is terrorist organisations. The pkk has been fighting turkey for an autonomous homeland for the kurds. More than 40,000 people have been killed and hundreds of thousands displaced since the pkk began an armed uprising in 1984. In 2012, the government and pkk began peace talks and the following year a ceasefire was agreed. However, the ceasefire ended in effect when turkey launched raids against kurdish separatist camps in northern iraq last month. The raids came after the pkk reportedly killed two turkish police officers in retaliation for an attack claimed by islamic state and what the pkk sees as turkey's collaboration with is.",

Most, if not all, members of the scheme would see a reduction in benefits. Those under retirement age would receive an immediate 10% cut in their pension pot. In addition, annual payments to most members, including those already retired, would be less in the ppf than if the hoover scheme continued. At about \u00a3500m, the pension scheme is roughly the same size as bhs. Bhs pensions is already receiving compensation from ppf which acts as a lifeboat for pensions so people are paid even when a company goes bust or is about to and if there are insufficient assets in the scheme. Bhs is being assessed for take-over by the organisation. The hoover scheme has a deficit of about \u00a3250m.

        "document":"Us astronomers have managed to peer deep into the atmosphere of jupiter using a radio telescope on earth. The very large array (vla) traced the presence of ammonia in the gas giant to study the circulation systems below the visible cloud tops. For features such as the planet's great red spot - a huge storm that has raged for at least 400 years - the scientists can see something of its roots. The observations go many tens of kilometres into the atmosphere. \"what really excites me is just the level of detail we see,\" said team-member michael wong from the university of california, berkeley. \"in our maps you can see different zones, turbulent features, vortices - even the great red spot. \"this has all been made possible by an upgrade to the vla and a new technique developed by one of our co-workers,\" he told bbc news. The karl g jansky very large array is based in the desert of new mexico, close to the town of socorro. As its name suggests, it is multi-antenna telescope. The upgrade dr wong is referring to has made the facility a far more sensitive tool for studying the radio emissions coming from objects in space. And the new technique he mentions counters the smearing effect you would ordinarily expect to get if you took a long exposure of a rapidly rotating body (jupiter's \"day\" lasts just 10 hours). The result is a wonderfully detailed impression of what is happening under the immediate surface of the many-banded weather systems that race across the top of planet's atmosphere. The team looks at the glow of ammonia because it is a tracer for the dynamical flow in the planet's gases, which are dominated by hydrogen and helium. At earth, you might do something similar by using water as the tracer. \"we see the actual glow of the ammonia itself, and the variation in depth is correlated with brightness,\" explained dr wong. \"the deepest we can see in this dataset is about 12 bar - 12 times the earth's atmospheric pressure.\" Plumes of ammonia are observed to rise up in waves. The team writes in the journal science that the ammonia in these plumes will eventually condense out at higher altitudes, and could explain the ammonia ice clouds detected by the galileo spacecraft in the 1990s. \"all told, there is a wealth of information about the structure of jupiter's atmosphere in these new vla images,\" said imke de pater, the lead author on the science paper. \"we hope to resolve a number of outstanding questions with these and future studies using similar techniques.\" Prof de pater wants to try similar observations at the gas giants saturn and uranus. The research is a nice prelude to the next probe set to visit jupiter: the us space agency satellite juno arrives at the enormous planet on 4 july. Its remote sensing instruments aim to characterise the full internal structure of the planet, right down to its rocky core - if indeed it has one.

At the white house, mr obama praised mr comey as a model of \"fierce independence and deep integrity\". Mr comey is known for successfully opposing a warrantless wiretapping programme backed by other bush aides. Mr mueller took up his post shortly before the 9\/11 attacks and is retiring as director on 4 september. In remarks on friday, mr obama said the outgoing director had displayed \"a steady hand and strong leadership\" during his time at the head of the fbi.

One of the most dramatic episodes of mr comey's tenure as deputy attorney general in the bush administration came in 2004, when then-attorney general john ashcroft was ill in hospital.

Mr kerry said the us expected to have a \"very serious conversation\" with china over its presence. \"there is every evidence, every day, that there has been an increase of militarisation from one kind or another.

He defended \"the limited and necessary self-defence facilities\" on islands inhabited by chinese personnel as \"consistent with the right for self-preservation and self-protection.... under the international law\".

A new uk cabinet committee chaired by commons leader william hague will now meet for the first time on wednesday. Mr crabb's comments come as wales' first minister carwyn jones called for a convention on future of the uk. Speaking on tuesday at the labour party conference, mr jones said the union cannot be rebuilt through conversation between only westminster and scotland. Now the welsh secretary has pledged to keep wales at the discussion table on the future of devolved powers across britain. Mr crabb said he had already held preliminary discussions with mr hague, a former welsh secretary himself. \"we are both in absolute agreement that wales should be central to the debate that is now commencing,\" said mr crabb. \"i want us to use this opportunity positively to look again at how we secure the best possible devolution settlement for wales. \"i want to move forward in a realistic, open-minded and pragmatic way.\" Mr crabb has written to the leaders of other welsh parties at westminster inviting them to a wales office \"summit\" to discuss \"how we deliver devolution that works for wales\". The meeting is likely to take place when parliament returns next month. He said he is also arranging meetings with party leaders in the national assembly to ensure their views feed into the debate. The comments from mr crabb came as prime minister david cameron hosted discussions with backbench tory mps at his chequers country residence. One of the two welsh mps to attend was the aberconway mp, guto bebb. He said events in scotland have \"completely changed the nature of the debate\" on devolution. Key to monday's talks have been the issue of \"english votes for english laws\", which would see welsh and scottish mps excluded from voting on devolved matters in the house of commons. That has led to labour party leader ed miliband accusing mr cameron of planning to set the uk nations against each other. But the aberconway mp said he took a different view. \"the promises made to scotland must be delivered upon and if they are delivered on then we are going to end up in my view with english votes for english laws and that in my view is a simple matter of fairness,\" said mr bebb.",

        "document":"Wales will use the pain of past failures as inspiration to reach the euro 2016 finals, says chris gunter. A point in bosnia-herzegovina on saturday or at home to andorra three days later would see wales end their 57-year absence from major tournaments. Gunter, 26, believes the current side can deliver where previous generations have fallen short. \"it's been a hard time. We aren't the biggest nation but we've probably underachieved,\" said the defender. \"i remember romania [1993] and the russia campaign [2003], the closer we get over the years, the more these questions seem to come. \"it's nice to be involved in the right sort of scenarios towards the end of the group. We played belgium when they celebrated getting to the [2014] world cup and we've put ourselves in that position now.\" Wales are a point clear at the summit of group b, with the top two teams qualifying automatically for euro 2016. Even if they lose their final two qualifiers - unlikely as andorra have never won a competitive game away from home - wales would still reach next summer's tournament if israel fail to win both of their remaining fixtures against cyprus and group favourites belgium. With the insurance of a home game against andorra on tuesday, the odds of qualification are overwhelmingly in wales' favour. But gunter is mindful of previous failures and says wales will be aiming to seal their place in france with a positive result against bosnia on saturday. \"the near misses are there as a reminder that in football even the most unlikely thing can happen until the job is done,\" he added. \"we've worked so hard for so long, it'd be a massive mistake to get complacent and think the job is done. \"if we start thinking we'll be celebrating on saturday night we'll be caught out. It's a really tough game. We have done well because we've always prepared in the right way. \"until we've qualified we have to concentrate as anything can happen.\" Gareth bale has been integral to wales' recent success, scoring six of their nine goals in this campaign, and a calf injury had made the real madrid forward a doubt for the forthcoming double-header. But he returned for his club side against atletico madrid on sunday and is expected to feature against bosnia and andorra. \"gareth is here, he's fit, he's done the same as everybody else. It's brilliant news for us and the gaffer [chris coleman] as well,\" said gunter. \"i don't think if he's fit and here we'll look beyond the game at the weekend. It'd be a brave man to tell him he's not playing saturday! \"if he's fit i'm sure he'll be involved and hopefully in the same form as the rest of the campaign.\"",

        "document":"Wales' rural affairs minister has ordered the forestry commission to take a more \"commercial approach\" to managing publicly owned woodlands. Elin jones is expected to lay out plans where some areas of welsh forest could be transferred to the private sector or to not for profit organisations. But she has already ruled out the widespread sale of welsh woodlands. Forestry commission wales said it would explore the feasibility of transfer to the private sector case by case. The minister told bbc radio wales she plans to \"compensate\" the public by buying new land for new planting or management if any forest was sold off on a case-by-case basis. \"i don't want any stagnancy in the forest estate. I want it to work for public benefit whether that's economic or environmental or access benefit,\" she said. \"it's my view there should be no reduction in the publicly owned estate and i have asked the forestry commission to look at how it can make that estate work harder, provide a better return for the public. \"whether that's in terms of public access, in terms of environmental benefit in the production of renewable energy or biomass potential or also in terms of the economic return from that forestry estate.\" The minister is due to outline her plans to ams during tuesday's plenary session in the senedd. Further commercialisation being planned would include partnerships with the private sector for more forest holidays, wind farms and limited extraction of coalfield methane. Around 37% of welsh woodland comes under the assembly government woodland estate (agwe). A report commissioned by the assembly examined a number of options, including a complete sell-off of the land to the private sector or a not-for-profit trust. It warned there were potential difficulties with both of these, instead recommending that a case-by-case approach should be taken to the future of wales' forests. Jerry langford, the woodland trust's director in wales gave a guarded welcome and said the plans were \"considered and enlightened\". \"if these changes do lead to more native woodland creation and a new urgency for the restoration of ancient woodlands planted with conifers, this could be the start of a new'age of the tree' in wales,\" he said. Any sell-off in wales would release resources to the fc to purchase other areas of land not currently under its management to increase their public benefit. Overall, there would be no reduction in the size of the welsh forests in public ownership. The report states: \"the minister agreed that fc wales should adopt whenever possible a more commercial approach to its management of the estate and in particular to be pro-active and imaginative in exploring opportunities for deeper commercialisation when dealing with the private sector.\" Forestry commission wales said it would \"explore the feasibility of small-scale transfer to the third sector on a case by case basis\". A spokesman said: \"this would be subject to proper safeguards being in place to ensure that the woodland continues to be sustainably managed and that it can continue to deliver key benefits such as access for the public.\"",

Flower, 26, punched hohaia to the ground two minutes into saturday's grand final, then landed a second blow to his face while he lay on the ground. Wales prop flower was sent off as the warriors were beaten 14-6. The ban until 14 april takes in 10 super league games and the world club series match against brisbane broncos. New zealander hohaia had already accepted a one-game suspension for a forearm strike which came before flower's punches. Flower was charged with a grade f offence - the most serious in the sport's disciplinary rules - of \"violent and aggressive punching\" and \"punching an off-guard opponent\", a charge which carries a minimum of an eight-game ban. Wigan rugby general manager kris radlinski, who accompanied flower to the hearing at the rugby football league in leeds, said in a statement: \"wigan warriors would like to go on record in saying that the rfl disciplinary committee handled a very difficult situation with professionalism and integrity. \"we fully support their assessment of saturday night's incident involving our player, ben flower. We will be making no appeal. \"we would like to apologise to lance hohaia and his family and to the st helens club and fans. St helens' win on saturday has been overshadowed by the incident and that is wrong.\" In becoming the first man to be sent off in a grand final, flower left his side down to 12 men for the vast majority of the match at old trafford, which st helens won to end an eight-year wait for the super league title. Saints chairman eamonn mcmanus said: \"the sport of rugby league should not be judged by this event, but by how it deals with it. \"we must assist [flower] in any way that we can and accept him back into the sport. There is a person behind the player, and i am reliably informed by all that it is a good one.\" For wigan, the defeat ended their defence of the super league crown and the pursuit of a fourth title. Former wigan and great britain player martin offiah told bbc radio 5 live: \"there is a lot of emotion around what was a big occasion but sadly it was in effect ruined by this incident in which i believe both players played their part. It was a sad day for rugby league. \"the sport was on show, it's a big event and the pictures are very graphic and all the apologies in the world won't wipe these away. \"no one can condone that second punch to the head and he's apologised for that but lance hohaia must take some consideration for his actions.\" Meanwhile, greater manchester police said in a tweet they are investigating \"abusive social media activity\" surrounding the grand final.",

Mr cash called on southern to \"get out of the bunker and to start making some progress\". He said rmt members on southern \"have shown incredible strength and resilience throughout the past year\" and \"have been clear from the off that this is not a dispute about who opens the doors\". \"it is a dispute about a safe method of operation and about the guarantee of that crucial, second safety-critical member of staff,\" he said.
