Paul Anderson, 37, Joanna Farrer, 38, and the girl were convicted at Woolwich Crown Court on Tuesday of religiously aggravated actual bodily harm. The victims, a mother and daughter, were punched and kicked repeatedly during the attack in Eltham last May. Anderson, of Sevenoaks, was jailed for three years. Farrer, of Eltham, and the girl will be sentenced at a later date. The court heard the attack, on 5 May, started when the younger victim had an altercation with the teenager, then aged 12, as she and a boy crossed Middle Park Avenue in Eltham, south east London, in front of her car. It escalated when the daughter, a 23 year old, met up with her 42-year-old mother and they bumped into the girl and the boy again, who verbally abused the mother. The girl - who cannot be named because of her age - then attacked the daughter before running off as the woman backed away to call the police. But she quickly returned with Anderson, Farrer and another, unidentified, woman, the Met Police said. Anderson punched the 42-year-old woman to the ground whereby one of the female attackers tried to rip off her hijab. He then punched the younger victim and both women were repeatedly struck by the gang as they lay on the ground, police said. The attack only stopped when one of the victims managed to flag down a passing ambulance, causing the suspects to flee. In sentencing, Anderson was ordered to pay £2,000 in compensation to the victims and had an extra month added to his sentence after he called the victims and members of the jury "an offensive word" during the trial. Farrer will be sentenced on 21 April while the girl will be sentenced at Bromley Youth Court on a date to be set. Melanie Pressley, of the Met Police's Greenwich Community Safety Unit, said: "This was a brutal and completely unnecessary attack on two Muslim women who were racially abused and then assaulted. "The victims were left terrified by what happened and lived in fear they would be targeted again."
A 13-year-old girl was among three people found guilty of a "brutal" race hate attack on two Muslim women.

Beeley, 27, turned down a new deal with League Two Morecambe at the end of last season to join the fifth-tier side. The full-back, who made 93 League appearances for the Shrimps over a two-year spell, accepted the Bluebirds' offer straight away. "In my eyes it's definitely a move forward," Beeley told BBC Cumbria. "The gaffer Paul [Cox] was interested, it was a bit of a no-brainer for me." He continued: "Barrow are a team that will be going for it, they want to achieve promotion. "The quality of the lads that we've got and the manager himself, I don't see why we can't push for promotion this year."
Barrow defender Shaun Beeley says his move into non-league was a 'no-brainer' as the club set their sights on promotion to the Football League.

The men, described as Asian or north African, surrounded 18 women watching a firework display, kissing and groping them, police said. A special police investigation team is conducting the search. Authorities said they were also searching refugee shelters for the suspects. The attack happened in the city's main square, where thousands had gathered for the New Year's Eve celebration, the AFP news agency reported. The head of the investigation, Ernst Kranebitter, told the BBC that the scale of the attacks and the way they were carried out were unprecedented for Innsbruck. Innsbruck's attacks come a year after more than 100 women reported sexual assaults in Cologne, Germany, on New Year's Eve 2015. Gangs of migrants were accused of the assaults. Cologne responded with an increased police presence at this year's event. But police were accused of racial profiling, and it emerged that almost all of the 650 people stopped for identity checks were north African. Meanwhile, reports of mass sexual assaults in the southern Indian city of Bangalore on New Year's Eve have been dismissed by local police.
Police in Austria are hunting for at least six men accused of "unprecedented" sexual assaults on New Year's Eve in the city of Innsbruck.

Poole Pirates rider Darcy Ward was injured early on Saturday following an incident outside the Churchill Arms, Sturminster Marshall. The Australian, 20, will miss the Pirates' Speedway Grand Final second leg against Swindon on Monday night. Dorset Police confirmed a man suffered a minor head injury in the incident at 01:15 BST on Saturday. Team manager Neil Middleditch, who was out with Mr Ward moments before the attack, admitted his rider remembers very little of what happened. He said: "The details are a bit sketchy. "Darcy hit his head quite hard on the ground after he took a punch and we've subsequently discovered it caused a brain bleed. "He is still in hospital and hopefully we're going to get some good news and be able to bring him home today. "I feel really deflated as Darcy has played such a key role in getting us to the championships." Earlier this year, Mr Ward was cleared of a charge of sexual assault against 17-year-old girl following a trial at Bournemouth Crown Court. The second leg of Poole Pirates' Grand Final against Swindon Robins is being held at Wimborne Road on Monday night.

Some people confide in friends or family, while others express their emotions through other means. Sixteen-year-old Odhran Bartley is dealing with his personal grief through music. Odhran was only seven years old when, in 2007, his dad unexpectedly died in his sleep at the age of 39. At the time Odhran says he wasn't ready to talk about his feelings. "I had my mum to talk to, but I didn't really want to talk about it with anyone. I wanted to put it out there in music. I think emotion comes out best that way. "I started rapping when I was nine, but only started writing my own material this year. "It's a way to tell my stories and express my emotions." The first song Odhran wrote, called I can't forget you, was based on his dad's passing. "It was emotional writing it. I was really sad at the time but I wanted to let people know what I had to say. "Sometimes I feel sad when I perform it, but I think it's good that I do perform it as people who have gone through similar things can relate to it". Odhran's mum, Anthea, says she had no idea that her son was such a talented musician. "I really was surprised that he wrote about his dad's death because even though he had talked to me about his dad dying, he hadn't talked that much about it. "When I heard the song, I could see that he was using it as a way to talk about his emotions and to keep him going". Having lived without his dad for nine years, Odhran says the best thing others in his position can do is "keep your head up and try to keep going".
When a loved one dies it can be difficult to come to terms with feelings of loss.

The King's Speech star said he had been unable to find the right voice for the Peruvian bear. "After a period of denial, we've chosen 'conscious uncoupling'," Firth said in a statement, referencing the term Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin made famous when they separated in March. Based on the books by Michael Bond, the film is due to be released in November. "It's been bittersweet to see this delightful creature take shape and come to the sad realisation that he simply doesn't have my voice," Firth told Entertainment Weekly. "I've had the joy of seeing most of the film and it's going to be quite wonderful. I still feel rather protective of this bear and I'm pestering them all with suggestions for finding a voice worthy of him." Paul King, the film's director, said the star's exit had been amicable. "I cannot thank [Firth] enough for his contribution to Paddington," he said. "We love the voice and we love the bear, but as our young bear came into being, we agreed that the two didn't seem to fit. So, with somewhat heavy hearts we decided to part ways." King said a replacement would be announced in the coming weeks, promising the new actor would ensure Paddington's "big screen debut is magnificent". The first trailer for the film was released in March, with a second released last week, however neither feature Firth's voice. The movie also stars Nicole Kidman as an evil museum taxidermist who has Paddington in her sights, and Julie Walters and Hugh Bonneville as Mr and Mrs Brown - the marmalade-loving bear's adopted parents.
Oscar-winning actor Colin Firth has pulled out of voicing the upcoming Paddington film.

Gerry McKeown, who was first on the scene, says he has never understood why the police did not question him. He got to tell his story for the first time to the Historical Enquires Team in 2010. Ten Protestant workers were taken from their minibus and shot dead by IRA gunmen in January 1976. Mr McKeown fought back tears as he recalled how he had said a prayer out loud for the victims including the only survivor Alan Black. Asked about his religion, Mr McKeown, a Catholic, said: "That night, in a ditch with Alan Black, we were praying to the one God and we had the one hope; that he [Alan] would pull through." Mr McKeown said the horror of what he saw that night has never left him. He said: "For years, any time I passed that spot, I would put the boot down. I was stopping for no-one." Alan Black and Gerry McKeown had not met in the intervening years and on Thursday there was an emotional reunion. As Mr McKeown finished his evidence, Mr Black rose from his seat and crossed the public gallery with his hand outstretched. The two men shook hands. Outside court they told the BBC that they hoped their actions and experience represented a victory over the sectarianism behind those and other murders. The inquest is continuing.

Syed Hoque, of Stoke-on-Trent, allegedly sent £4,500 to his nephew, who was fighting against the regime. Mr Hoque, 37; Pervez Rafiq, 46, of Birkby, Huddersfield; and Mashoud Miah, 27, and Mohammed Hussain, 30, both of east London; are accused of making "other property" available. They all deny the charge. The four are accused of making the property available between 1 December 2012 and 31 May 2014. Mr Hoque denies a further two counts of funding terrorism. Prosecuting, Annabel Darlow QC said the defendants "made use, or so it would appear, of aid convoys", but said it was not suggested that the convoys did not have a legitimate charitable purpose. Mohammed Choudhury, Mr Hoque's nephew, was fighting on behalf of a terrorist organisation representing the wing of Al-Qaeda in Syria, the Old Bailey heard. Mr Hoque and Mr Choudhury had discussed the possibility of buying a Dragunov sniper rifle, an AK assault rifle and a nightscope, the court was told. It is alleged Mr Miah's role was that of a facilitator who could be turned to when an address or contact was required. Analysis showed Mr Hoque had been communicating via WhatsApp with a person known as Sayyaf. This man was later found to be Mr Choudhury, the court heard. Ms Darlow said Mr Hoque was aware his nephew was "engaged in military conflict and that he sought... the death... of the Syrian president" and "actively encouraged" Mr Choudhury. But she said on occasions he had to rein in some of Mr Choudhury's "worst excesses". She stated: "In the course of one particularly graphic exchange, [he advised] him to behead his enemies in Syria, but [suggested] he should draw the line at mutilating their bodies." The trial continues.
Four men used aid convoys bound for Syria to transport items that would be used to commit terrorism offences, a court heard.

Joseph Mathunjwa spent the night underground with the rescue team. The three were working above ground in the lamproom when a building collapsed into the mine, burying them under tonnes of rubble. More than 70 miners managed to escape using an emergency exit. The rescue team says they have got a response to tapping sounds that they made from above. "The longer they remain trapped the slimmer the chances of them being found alive," the president of the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU), Mr Mathunjwa said on the union's website. The statement added that the rescue team were able to break the rock that was blocking the entrance to the container room where the miners are trapped and are currently removing tonnes of rubble. Rescuers had previously heard tapping, giving hope that the three were still alive in the Lily Gold Mine in Barberton, South Africa. But the AMCU's regional secretary John Sibiya told South Africa's Times that the rescuers have not heard anything from the trapped workers for 20 hours.
Time is running out to save the three mine workers trapped in a South African gold mine since Friday, the mining union's president has warned.

Nasheed was given a 13-year sentence under anti-terror laws last year. A Maldives government statement said Nasheed had to return to the Maldives to serve the remainder of the sentence. A former human rights campaigner, Nasheed became the nation's first democratically elected leader in 2008, ending three decades of rule by former strongman Maumoon Abdul Gayoom. In 2012, he was detained after being accused of ordering the arrest of a judge. He resigned months later amid an army mutiny and public protests over the judge's fate. Nasheed alleged that he had been removed by a coup, but this was denied by his vice-president, who replaced him. The current President, Abdulla Yameen, was elected in controversial polls in 2013 and is the half-brother of Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, who served for 30 years as president and was widely accused of autocratic rule.
The jailed former President of the Maldives Mohamed Nasheed has been given permission to have surgery in the UK.

The market economy group downgraded its growth forecast for most big economies. Conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East and the referendum on an independent Scotland are areas of risk and uncertainty, it said. Its 2014 estimate is a 0.8% increase in the eurozone economy for 2014, compared with a forecast of 1.2% made in May. The UK's forecast was cut by 0.1 percentage points to 3.1%. US economic expansion for 2014 was cut to 2.1% from 2.6%. Japan's forecast was cut to 0.9% from 1.2%. The OECD did not provide an update to its forecast for global growth for 2014, which it forecast at 3.4% in May. "Continued slow growth in the euro area is the most worrying feature of the projections," the OECD said. Among countries which are not OECD members, China's forecast was unchanged at 7.4%. The OECD said China "has so far managed to achieve an orderly growth slowdown to more sustainable rates". India was the only economy to be judged by the organisation as likely to grow quicker, with its forecast upgraded to 5.7% from 4.9% after voting in a new government that said it would pursue growth-oriented reforms and progress in containing inflation.
A slow recovery among nations using the euro is holding back the global economy, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has said.

Mark Evans is retracing the same route across the Rub Al Khali, also known as the "Empty Quarter", taken by Bristol pioneer Bertram Thomas in 1930. The 54-year-old Shropshire-born explorer is leading a three-man team to walk the 800 mile (1,300 km) journey from Salalah, Oman to Doha, Qatar. The trek is expected to take 60 days. The Rub Al Khali desert is considered one of the hottest, driest and most inhospitable places on earth. Nearly two decades after Thomas completed his trek, British explorer and writer Sir Wilfred Thesiger crossed the Empty Quarter - mapping it in detail along the way. 60 days To cross the Rub' Al Khali desert * From Salalah in Oman to Doha, Qatar * Walking with camels for 1,300km * Area nearly three times the size of the UK Completed by explorer Bertram Thomas in 1930 Bertram Thomas, who hailed from Pill, near Bristol, received telegrams of congratulation from both King George V and Sultan Taimur, then ruler of Oman. He went on to lecture all over the world about the journey and to write a book called Arabia Felix. Unlike Mr Evans, Thomas did not obtain permission for his expedition. He said: "The biggest challenges for Thomas were warring tribes, lack of water in the waterholes and his total dependence on his Omani companion Sheikh Saleh to negotiate their way through the desert. "The biggest challenge for those who wanted to make the crossing in recent decades has been obtaining government permissions to walk through this desolate and unknown territory."
An explorer has embarked on a challenge to become only the third British person in history to cross the largest sand desert in the world.

The airlines plan to use only Blue Island's planes to fly the Guernsey-Jersey route but both will take bookings for the seats. Channel Islands regulatory authorities gave permission but imposed conditions. Each airline has to market seats independently and Aurigny must tell customers Blue Islands is the operator. Channel Islands Competition and Regulatory Authorities Chief Executive, Andrew Riseley, said he gave permission as the airlines had both said competition would go without it. He said: "On balance our judgement is that the best means of protecting customers is to ensure that competition on the route remains as vigorous as possible and the conditions we have set for agreeing this exemption should achieve this." Under the agreement, which will run for two years, Aurigny will buy a fixed block of seats on flights operated by Blue Islands. The airlines will fly six or seven flights in each direction on weekdays, four flights in each direction on Saturdays and three flights in each direction on Sundays. Mr Riseley said responses to a consultation focused more on quality of services and level of capacity rather than fare structures. He said the airlines had been told they must increase capacity where it is necessary to meet demand. "The airlines have provided future forecasts under the joint operation which show financial improvements for both parties. "[We] are of the view that, without this financial improvement, one of the parties would exit the route altogether."
Channel Islands airlines Aurigny and Blue Islands have been given permission to code-share on the inter-island route.

The blast blew out windows and destroyed the rear wall of the house at Theddlethorpe, near Mablethorpe in Lincolnshire, on Sunday afternoon. Fire service group manager Sean King said the owners had gone for a walk at the time of the explosion, thought to have been caused by a gas leak. The house, which was on a propane-fed gas supply, has been cordoned off. Mr King said: "It was a significant explosion caused, we think, by some kind of gas leak but we haven't been able to determine the exact cause yet due to the extensive damage. "Luckily they'd [owners] gone for a walk and if they'd been in the house at the time it could have been a very different story." Structural engineers have been carrying out assessments of the property at the scene.

Both houses of Congress backed the bill, which also includes measures against Iran and North Korea, but it was thought Mr Trump might veto it. Russia has already retaliated by ordering cuts to US diplomatic staff and barring the use of some properties. The sanctions are over Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea and alleged interference in the US election. Iran and North Korea are being penalised over their ballistic missile tests. White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Mr Trump would sign the bill, but only after having negotiated "critical elements" of it. She did not specify what those elements were. "He has now reviewed the final version and, based on its responsiveness to his negotiations, approves the bill and intends to sign it," she said. The sanctions came months after the Obama administration ordered the seizure of two Russian diplomatic compounds and expelled 35 Russian diplomats in response to alleged hacking of the US Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. US intelligence agencies believe Russia tried to sway the election in favour of Mr Trump and several investigations are looking into whether anyone from his campaign colluded. Russia has always denied interfering and Mr Trump insists there was no collusion. The president has sought closer ties with Russia but analysts say any attempt to veto the new sanctions could have fuelled suspicion that he was too supportive of the Kremlin. Russia's foreign ministry said on Friday that the US was "stubbornly taking one crudely anti-Russian step after another, using the utterly fictitious pretext of Russian interference in its internal affairs". The statement said the expulsion of Russian diplomats "clearly violates the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations and generally accepted diplomatic norms". The ministry said it was seizing holiday properties and a warehouse used by US diplomats. It was not immediately clear how many diplomats and staff would have to stop working at the main US embassy in Moscow and other consulates around Russia, but sources quoted by Russian news agencies said "hundreds" of people would be affected.
US President Donald Trump will sign into law a bill imposing new sanctions on Russia, the White House says.

The group, including three from the main opposition party, are accused of animal cruelty and unlawful assembly. The federal government announced the ban last week, saying it would "stop unregulated animal trade". But critics say the move is aimed at protecting cows, considered holy by India's majority Hindu population. The men, who killed the calf on Saturday, said they wanted to represent people's anger against the federal government's decision. The Congress party, the main opposition to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), opposes the ban, but it suspended the three members of its youth wing, saying the act was "thoughtless and barbaric". The ban has sparked protests from a number of state governments. There are several states where beef is part of local cuisine and critics say the order will hurt farmers and major industries like food processing and leather. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said the central government was "encroaching upon state matters" with its ban. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the order violated "the basic right of a person to freedom of choice regarding his food". Many states, however, have actively started enforcing bans on cow slaughter since the Hindu nationalist BJP came to power in 2014. The western state of Gujarat passed a law in March making the slaughter of cows punishable by life imprisonment. Vigilante groups who portray themselves as protectors of cows have also been active in several states. These groups have even killed Muslim men they suspect of killing cows, including high-profile cases in April and May. Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year criticised the vigilantes, saying such people made him "angry". However, this has not stopped attacks against cattle traders.
Police in the southern state of Kerala have arrested eight men who publicly killed a calf to protest against a ban on the sale of cattle for slaughter.

Lucas Bigley, 19, stabbed Matthew Wilson to death in Sheffield on 28 May in a "violent and brutal attack". Hull Crown Court heard the two men had fallen out after Mr Wilson, also 19, began a relationship with Bigley's mother. Bigley, of Wadsley Lane, Sheffield, was told he must serve at least 22 years in jail. More stories from across South Yorkshire Hull Crown Court heard Bigley was still wearing his heavily blood-soaked clothing and attempting to wash the blood from his hands when was arrested in the early hours of 28 May. Det Ch Insp Craig Jackson said: "This was a violent and brutal attack on Matthew, a young man whom Bigley once considered his friend. "The court heard how both he and the victim knew each other for many years, but their friendship broke down after Matthew began a romantic relationship with Bigley's mother. "His anger and frustration came to the fore in the early hours of that morning in May and a young man who had everything to live for has now tragically lost his life." Mr Wilson's family said in a statement they were "satisfied" with the jury's verdict. However, they added: "While we regard the sentence Bigley has been given as fair, no sentence will ever bring Matt back to us. "We too have been handed a life sentence."
A man has been jailed for life for murdering a former friend who was having a relationship with his mother.

The council, which has been operating since 1994, said in a letter that it cannot stay open because of a "severe cash-flow problem". It said that it had failed to gain two Stormont grants that would have totalled £90,000. Patrick Yu, the council's executive director, said closure was a "painful decision". "This is the best way to protect the achievement, reputation and integrity of NICEM," he said. In the letter, he said that while NICEM had "several outstanding funding applications" it was "unable to sustain a sufficient cash flow". He said the council would be dissolved after a general meeting on 7 November. He added his thanks to those who had joined "our anti-racist movement". "Despite this set back, the vision and values of NICEM will continue as well as the anti-racism movement in Northern Ireland."

Its assembly election manifesto includes creating something similar to Transport for London to create a "genuine integrated transport system". It also wants an organisation responsible for supporting small firms. The FSB said it was "deliverable" with existing Welsh government funding. The organisation, which has 10,000 members among the 200,000 small and medium sized enterprises in Wales, wants parties to adopt its Transport for Wales idea. The organisation - to be fully functioning within three years - would create an investment plan and manage a Wales-wide rail franchise. It would follow a similar model to Transport for London including ticketing across services as with the Oyster card. The manifesto also wants: The FSB said the measures would help small businesses grow and create more jobs. The "business manifesto" has been drawn together following research by a number of leading academics for the organisation ahead of May's assembly election. One of those reports, by Manchester Business School and revealed by BBC Wales last week, said more help was needed for growing firms to stay under Welsh ownership. The manifesto has been independently costed and could be delivered within current budgets according to the FSB. FSB Wales policy manager Dr Rachel Bowen said: "We are convinced that if the next Welsh government takes up the policies that we are proposing in our manifesto then businesses and the economy in communities the length and breadth of Wales will benefit." The manifesto will be launched on Wednesday evening at a cross-party event in Cardiff Bay.
A single transport body with responsibility for roads, rail, buses and cycling in Wales is proposed among "radical" new measures from the Federation of Small Business.

The PM's gift list includes a handbag by Gerald and Sue Bodmer, who make bags for The Queen, government papers show. There is also a "silver item" from ex-New York mayor Michael Bloomberg and three pairs of shoes. Mrs May decided not to buy any of them - under the rules she has to pay for any gift worth more than £140. She did, however, decide to hand over £225 for clothing from Lady Jubie Wigan, who set up the Sugarplum Children charity for youngsters with diabetes, and £244 for jewellery from Nadja Swarovski. The transparency records cover October to December - but it was a similar story during her first months in Downing Street, although she did purchase some tights from upmarket hosiery brand Luxury Legs and a scarf from Mayfair fashion house Halcyon Days. Unclaimed gifts to the PM remain in the government departments to which they were given. For the three months to December, these include hampers from the ambassador of Saudi Arabia and the Sultan of Brunei, "wine and dates" from the president of Algeria and a fan from entrepreneur Sir James Dyson. The documents also detail Mrs May's Downing Street meetings, including a chat with former Labour PM Tony Blair, on November 26, to discuss his former role as a Middle East envoy. Mrs May also had a meeting with former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger in October for a "general discussion". A series of newspaper editors and television political editors, including the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg and Andrew Neil, also had meetings with the PM. Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre had dinner at No 10 but no-one was invited to Chequers, the prime minister's weekend retreat, over the period. The records also confirm Mrs May's meeting with Nissan on 14 October. The car manufacturer announced it was investing in production of new Qashqai and X-Trail models at Sunderland after receiving government assurances that EU withdrawal would not affect the plant's competitiveness. She also discussed Brexit, human trafficking and homelessness with the Moderator of the Church of Scotland - and met the Archbishop of Canterbury to talk about education, counter-terrorism, modern slavery and foreign affairs.
She is known for her love of shoes and high fashion - but Theresa May has not been tempted by many of the items given to her since moving into No 10.

A seventh distribution centre has officially opened in Grangetown. City-wide figures for August showed 1,238 adults and children were given emergency food parcels - up from just over 900 in the same month in 2015. "We're coming across people from across the social spectrum," said Helen Bull, partnership and fundraising manager. "It's not just people from disadvantaged backgrounds or on benefits, we're seeing people on low incomes. "People are doing all they can to make ends meet but they can be one event away from a crisis - it could be losing a job, or a boiler or car breaking down, or being victims of domestic violence. It really can happen to anyone" Cardiff Foodbank collects donations of food at a distribution warehouse in Splott and at some supermarkets. People in need of three days' worth of food are issued with vouchers from 120 different organisations, health and care workers. Last week, it distributed two tonnes worth of food - with donors able to check online what is needed. Current shortages include tinned fruit and vegetables and UHT milk. In 2015-16, just over 12,000 parcels were distributed to 8,000 different people in the city, with numbers on course to rise again this year. There are spikes during the year - including over the summer, when children do not get free school meals. In the last week of August, 116 children and 155 adults were helped in Cardiff. Food bank trustee Jules Ashton-Davies said: "It still takes a great deal of courage to come to a food bank". Grangetown Baptist Church will host the new food bank every Friday afternoon, with a team of volunteers helping with the welcome. Minister David Evans, who was handing out commemorative chocolate bars at the opening, said: "It's important to make people feel they have something to give to society." Ms Bull added: "If people are struggling to pay for food then they will also be struggling for bus or train fare so it's important we can be as local as possible for them." Susan Elsmore, cabinet member for health, housing and wellbeing, said Cardiff Council was keen to support the network and was bidding to be able to employ two workers to help with income management and welfare issues.
The network of food banks in Cardiff has expanded, with organisers saying people on low incomes and from "all walks of life" are using the service.

The accusation relates to a report on the channel on alleged passport fraud at the Venezuelan embassy in Iraq. Venezuela's National Telecommunications Commission (Conatel) ordered "the immediate suspension of broadcasts". Conatel accused the channel of attempting to "undermine the peace and the democratic stability" of Venezuela. It did not specifically mention the passport story, but government officials had earlier in the day disputed it at a press conference. The story was the product of a year-long investigation into allegations that Venezuelan passports and visas were being sold to people in Iraq, including some with terrorism links. The report alleged that Venezuelan Vice-President Tareck El Aissami was directly linked to the granting of 173 passports, including to members of the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which is designated a terrorist group by the US and other Western powers. According to Venezuelan media, Conatel urged publishers and journalists to "provide timely and truthful information to our people, adjusted to the values of Venezuelan society". Mr El Aissami has this week had sanctions imposed on him by the US for allegedly trafficking drugs. He was described by the US treasury as a drug "kingpin" who worked with traffickers in Mexico and Colombia to ship drugs to America. He accused the US of "imperialist aggression" in response and President Nicolas Maduro demanded a public apology.
Venezuelan authorities have ordered that US broadcaster CNN's Spanish-language channel be taken off air, accusing it of spreading propaganda.

The 26-year-old has been linked with a move to the Championship leaders, but ex-Magpies boss McClaren laughed when asked if Ince would be leaving. "It's newspapers stirring," McClaren said. "He is staying, definitely. "Rumours are what sells. Fortunately we are are in a good position where Tom is staying here." Ince has scored 10 goals in his past 12 games, with 11 in a total of 29 appearances so far this season, helping the Rams to seventh place in the table. McClaren said he was aware of the ongoing talk of a bid from Newcastle. "I heard that - £8m. That would probably pay for his right foot," he added. "It's normal; we have to deal with it and cope with it. We will be creating plenty of speculation ourselves. "It's part of the game. It's football, the window is open. Newspapers need to sell themselves." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page or visit our Premier League tracker here.
Derby County manager Steve McClaren says reports of a Newcastle offer of £8m for Tom Ince would only be enough to buy the winger's right foot.

Brushes, a folding travelling palette and a pocket paint-book caked with watercolour will be on show at Petworth House in West Sussex from Saturday. Oil and watercolour paintings, along with personal possessions including a ring and gold watch, can also be seen. Four costumes from the film, Mr Turner, also form part of the exhibition. Turner painted many works at the 17th Century mansion house between 1809 and 1837 when he visited as a guest of the 3rd Earl of Egremont. A fishing rod he used at the house's lake and a selection of his books will also be on display. There will also be rarely-seen portraits of the artist, including possibly the last image painted before his death. Actor Timothy Spall played the painter in director Leigh's film, released in October. Paintings he created while training for his role will be on show in a mock-up of Turner's studio created from props used in the film, plus behind-the-scenes footage. Leigh said: "Petworth wrote itself into the film rather than us having to think of possible stately homes. It is such an extraordinary and rare and rarefied place." Andrew Loukes, curator of collections and exhibitions at Petworth House, added: "Turner is an important part of the story at Petworth House. "We are thrilled to be able to mount this celebration of his life." The exhibition runs until 11 March.
Painting materials once owned by JMW Turner form part of a new exhibition inspired by Mike Leigh's recent film on the master British landscape artist.

The city and county councils have jointly commissioned the £30,000 study in a bid to reduce air pollution. If agreed, the zone could be introduced from 2020, starting small and expanding as technology develops. The city centre has been a low emission zone since 2014, requiring all local bus services to use low-emitting vehicles. City council board member John Tanner previously branded the idea "ridiculous", but now says he is "thrilled" the study is taking place. He added: "Air pollution has a significant impact on the health of residents and visitors to Oxford. "Our vision is to create a city centre that people can live and work in without worrying about how vehicle emissions will impact on their health." But speaking in 2015 he said the city council would not support "a blanket ban" because "ordinary" cars were not responsible for pollution. The Road Haulage Association also called the proposals "unworkable". A spokesman for the county council said the ban would initially only apply on a small number of roads, and the timescales would change if technology was not advanced enough. Last year, Oxford was featured in a report by the World Health Organisation as one of 10 cities with unacceptable levels of pollution. And European Union targets for air pollution are currently being breached at 32% of 75 locations monitored across Oxford.
A study looking into banning all petrol and diesel vehicles from the centre of Oxford has been launched.

Ceyda Sungur, an academic at Istanbul's Technical University, had gone to Gezi Park to defend it against a controversial redevelopment project to concrete over one of the last green spaces in the city. When Ms Sungur arrived, she found herself in front of a line of riot police. One of them bent down and fired tear gas at her, leaving her gasping for breath. Reuters photographer Osman Orsal captured the moment, and the images soon went viral on social media, in cartoons and as stickers and posters used by other protesters. In the city of Izmir, her picture has even been transformed into a giant billboard. Sympathisers can put their head through a hole where Ms Sungur's face should be, and pose for photos. The images make good publicity for critics of the government. In her demure red dress and necklace, carrying a small shoulder bag, Ms Sungur looks more like she's going to a summer fete than a violent protest - adding weight to the demonstrators' argument that the police were too heavy-handed. The pictures also call into question Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's statement that the protesters were extremists "living arm in arm with terrorism". Ms Sungur told Turkish media she was a "reluctant figurehead", and just a tiny part of a huge grassroots movement to save Gezi Park. "A lot of people no different from me were out protecting the park, defending their rights, defending democracy," she said. "They also got gassed." But whether she likes it or not, Ceyda Sungur may find herself forever known as the "lady in the red dress", the iconic image of these Turkish protests.

Darren Cooper posted the picture of Darryl Magher on his @sandwellleader profile. Twitter suspended the account but it had been reinstated by 15:30 GMT. Mr Magher said the Labour leader and Smethwick councillor had posted the image in a bid to suppress him and stop him asking difficult questions. "He does not like being challenged and held to account," said Mr Magher, who runs a Facebook page about the Yew Tree area of Sandwell. But Mr Cooper said the image concerned was already in the public domain. He said he had been a victim of trolling and said the complaint was part of a campaign of harassment mounted against him. Asked on BBC WM if he had done anything wrong, he said: "I don't think so. I try to stay within the realms of decency and modesty. "People have a go at you, usually political opponents, and sometimes you have a go back, but I'm not aware of anything I have done that would breach Twitter rules." Twitter said they did not comment on individual accounts for privacy and security reasons. It referred the BBC to the website's rules.

He is Alan Drennan, 21, a mechanic, from Newtownabbey, County Antrim. Mr Drennan had left Northern Ireland on Saturday with a group of friends for a holiday on the island. He was found dead in his hotel room on Sunday. Spanish police said there were no signs of violence and the death seemed to be of natural causes. But they are waiting for an autopsy to be carried out. It is not clear at this stage when that will take place. Mr Drennan's father, also Alan, told Cool FM: "This is breaking our hearts, it really is. We cannot understand why. "Alan was called after me and he was just mini me. He was Alan junior. He was me all over and, boy, will I miss him." A spokesperson for the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office said: "We can confirm the death of a British national in Ibiza on 19 July. "We have been liaising with the Spanish authorities and are providing support to the family at this difficult time."

It marks the day World War One ended, at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, back in 1918. A two-minute silence is held at 11am to remember the people who have died in wars. There is also Remembrance Sunday every year, which falls on the second Sunday in November. This year, it will fall on Sunday 13 November. On this day, there are usually ceremonies at war memorials, cenotaphs and churches throughout the country, as well as abroad. The Royal Family and top politicians gather at The Cenotaph in Whitehall, London, for a memorial service. The anniversary is used to remember all the people who have died in wars, not just World War One. This includes World War Two, the Falklands War, the Gulf War, and conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. The first two-minute silence in Britain was held on 11 November 1919, when King George V asked the public to observe a silence at 11am. This was one year after the end of World War One. He made the request so "the thoughts of everyone may be concentrated on reverent remembrance of the glorious dead".
Armistice Day is on 11 November and is also known as Remembrance Day.

The Welsh Government funding comes after the chancellor gave £2bn extra for social care in England. A total of £8m will be used in a bid to prevent children entering care. Councils will also get £3m more to pay for respite for carers. Plaid Cymru welcomed "any additional investment" for what it called an "underfunded service". The Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) has previously warned that rising social care costs could force some councils to merge. In a statement, Public Health Minister Rebecca Evans said: "We are acutely aware of the pressures being faced by the sector and by local government. "It is vital that we support the development of social services that are sustainable for the future. "There is no doubt that the public sector is facing unprecedented challenges. We need to continue to build our resilience." Part of the money will go towards supporting families and children on the "edge of care" and improve "outcomes for children leaving care". A WLGA spokesperson said the additional funding represented a continued recognition that the "health of the population depends on far more than just health care services alone". He said: "The WLGA will continue to work with Welsh Government and make a case for sustainable solutions to the challenges in social care as an issue of national strategic importance. "We also look to the new UK government following the forthcoming general election to come up with sustainable solutions to the longer term funding of social care and ensure that the hard choices required are made to safeguard vital provision for children and older people now and into the future." A Plaid Cymru spokesperson said: "The Welsh Government had little option but to increase funding given the pressures the NHS faced. "For too long the Conservative party has failed to understand how vital social care is in keeping the NHS functional, and the additional finance is too little too late."
An extra £20m a year is to be spent on social care in Wales.

Ashley Broomhall's Ben Nevis trek will raise money for Cancer Research UK. Mr Broomhall, a member of Star Wars costuming club the 501st UK Garrison, set himself the peak challenge after his mother was diagnosed with cancer. He has already done a walk up the 1,335ft (407m) hill The Wrekin in Shropshire in his stormtrooper kit. To further prepare for his 4,406ft (1,344m) hike to the summit of Ben Nevis, he also plans to walk to the top of 3,560ft (1,085m) Snowdon. The UK Garrison was created in 2000. Its members attend events across the UK dressed in "movie accurate" costumes to raise money for charity. The newest movie in the Star Wars franchise, whose best-known characters include Darth Vader, Obi Wan Kenobi, Han Solo and Chewbacca, is due to be released in cinemas in December.

Party officials told the electoral office they have been contacted by 18 people whose votes had been "stolen". The Chief Electoral Officer said she is investigating 12 allegations of electoral fraud in the Foyle constituency. Former SDLP leader Mark Durkan lost the seat by 169 votes to former city lord mayor Elisha McCallion of Sinn Féin. The police have said they are investigating a small number of reports of electoral fraud, following an Electoral Office referral. Chief Electoral Officer Virginia McVeigh said: "The investigation is at a very early stage. We have made a number of calls for other people to come forward." The SDLP said about a dozen incidents of voter fraud had also been reported in South Down and has called for tighter controls on voter identification. SDLP veteran Margaret Ritchie was defeated in South Down by Sinn Fein's Chris Hazzard by 2,446 votes. SDLP MLA Mark H Durkan said he had been contacted by people who were told they had already voted when they arrived at polling stations. "It's difficult to gauge how widespread it may be," said Mr Durkan, the nephew of the defeated Foyle MP. "It is horrifying to think that in this day and age that voting fraud is going on. "It is vitally important to all parties that we have an electoral system that people can have faith and confidence in." BBC News NI political correspondent Enda McClafferty said: "While allegations of voter fraud are not new, the SDLP claims it is more of a problem now - especially in constituencies like Foyle where only 169 votes separated the winner and loser." No accusations have been made against any one party but in response to the SDLP claims, Sinn Féin said there was always an effort by political opponents to explain away their rejection by the electorate. Police have asked anyone with concerns about electoral fraud to contact the Electoral Office. Ch Supt Karen Baxter said: "We work closely with the Electoral Office and where information becomes available in relation to criminal activity, we take action."

The pool, at White Wells Spa Cottage on Ilkley Moor, is open for bathers all year round but it is traditional to take the plunge on 1 January. Joanne Everall, who runs the bath house and adjoining cafe with Mark Hunnebell, said the pool usually attracted 100 to 150 people at new year. The current record was made last year, with 212 bathers taking part. Queues formed throughout the day outside the cottage, as bathers of all ages braved the water. The bath was built in around 1700, when it was open air with surrounding walls but no roof. Its waters were advertised as having healing properties. Charles Darwin is believed to have visited Ilkley in 1859 and "took the waters" at White Wells.

The 15-year-old Scot became the youngest ever Commonwealth medallist when she finished third in the SB9 100m breaststroke aged 13 in 2014. However, she was told in April her impairment was now not serious enough for her to compete in Para-swimming. A second panel, at the Berlin Open event, upheld the result on Wednesday. Davies, from the Delting Dolphins club in Shetland, has Perthes disease, a condition that affects her hip bones and joints. Before losing her classification, she was only eligible to compete in breaststroke events.

Halfpenny's current deal runs out in the summer and Cardiff Blues and Wasps have been linked with him. But Laporte said the 27-year-old will take up the option of a third season with the European champions. "He's staying at Toulon. I don't know when he will sign but it should happen," Laporte told AFP. "He's a good lad, you need some like him in a club. He trains five hours a day." Halfpenny signed a two-year deal when he agreed to join Toulon from Cardiff Blues in January 2014. Former France coach Laporte said Halfpenny had been "under pressure" from his national coach Warren Gatland to return to Wales. A return to Wales would benefit Gatland given the limitations imposed on him on the number of foreign-based players he can select in the squad. But Halfpenny would still be eligible under the so-called 'Gatland's Law' as he would be taking up the option of a third season at Toulon on a contract he signed before the selection criteria came into effect. Former side Blues expressed an interest in re-signing Halfpenny while Scarlets said they would be keen to take him back to Wales. Wasps were also interested but director of rugby Dai Young said the Coventry-based club were "not an option" for the Wales full-back. The British and Irish Lions full-back has not played for Toulon this season after suffering a serious knee injury in a World Cup warm-up game for Wales in September. He subsequently missed the World Cup and is expected to miss this year's Six Nations Championship after having reconstructive surgery.

Phyllida Lloyd will direct revivals of Julius Caesar and Henry IV and a new production of The Tempest, which are all set in a women's prison. Harriet Walter will play Brutus in Julius Caesar, King Henry in Henry IV, and Prospero in The Tempest. The new in-the-round venue will be open for 13 weeks from 23 September. Julius Caesar and Henry IV were both staged by the company at the Donmar's Covent Garden base in 2012 and 2014 respectively. The theatre hopes to make 25% of all tickets will be free to 25s and under with a new scheme called Young and Free, funded mainly through sponsorship and philanthropy. Artistic Director Josie Rourke said: "I remember very clearly the furore created by the idea of an all-female Shakespeare, when Phyllida Lloyd first staged Julius Caesar with Harriet Walter in 2012. "Phyllida Lloyd's work with this diverse, all-female company has been genuinely ground-breaking and in the intervening four years, theatre has got into the fast lane of debate and change. "It's time, with these Young and Free tickets, to join together our question about who gets to play these roles with a renewed mission for who gets to experience them." After its month-long run at the new London venue, The Tempest will transfer to Broadway in October as part of the Donmar's New York season, which runs from July until February 2017. The James Graham play Privacy, starring Daniel Radcliffe, and Christopher Hampton's Les Liaisons Dangereuses, will also be staged in New York.

Currently, people only face a fine if they fail to pick up litter in the town centre. According to residents, rubbish is regularly being left strewn along the shoreline. Bournemouth Borough Council said fixed penalty fines were not cost effective and the beach was cleaned daily throughout the summer. In a statement, the authority said: "In order to issue a fixed penalty notice, litter must be witnessed being dropped, and this is obviously difficult to monitor with both the volume of visitors and the length of time people tend to stay on the beach. "We are very confident that, every day, the beach and seafront are a clean and pleasant environment for people to visit and enjoy." More than 1,500 people have signed a petition calling for the on the spot fines to be introduced. Peter Ryan, of volunteer litter clearing group, Dorset Devils, said: "We do need to take further steps to look after our beautiful beach - it shouldn't be trashed, there's nappies, glass, barbeques and items are also being buried in the sand. "The council do a fantastic job - but there should be a presence on the beach to discourage people from dropping litter. "When you're on the beach the only thing you should leave behind is your footprints."

Media playback is not supported on this device World record holder Paul Biedermann of Germany was third with Ryan Lochte and Chad Le Clos outside the medals. It is 19-year-old Guy's second medal of the meeting after winning silver behind Sun in the 400m freestyle on Sunday. Fellow Briton Adam Peaty set a new world record of 26.42 seconds in the 50m breaststroke semi-finals. Media playback is not supported on this device Peaty, who won gold over 100m on Monday, beat the mark of 26.62 seconds set in the morning heats by South Africa's Cameron van der Burgh. The pair will race again in the final on Wednesday afternoon. In the same summer that Lochte collected five medals at London 2012, a 16-year-old Guy won a 400m freestyle bronze at the European Junior Championship - and the Bury teenager is struggling to comprehend his victory over the illustrious American. "I never thought I'd race Ryan Lochte head to head like that - he is one of my heroes," said Guy. "So to race him was amazing and to touch my hand on the wall first and be world champion hasn't sunk in quite yet. I am so happy. "Coming in, I didn't think that I would make the final of the 200m, but I knew I had done some good sessions out in Majorca and back at home." Liam Tancock finished eighth in the 100m backstroke final that was won by Australian Mitchell Larkin. In the final race of the evening session, Russian Yuliya Efimova successfully defended her world title, edging out Plymouth-based Lithuanian Ruta Meilutyte in the 100m breaststroke despite trailing the Olympic champion by 0.49 seconds at the turn. Efimova returned from a 16-month doping ban in March and Meilutyte has previously said that she no longer sees her rival as a "honest competitor". Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, who won Britain's first world 200m individual medley medal with a bronze on Monday, fell short of making the 200m freestyle final. The 19-year-old set the 11th-fastest qualifying time in the heats and was 0.35 seconds slower than the final qualifier from the semi-finals. Stephen Milne clocked seven minutes 46.41 seconds to qualify third-fastest for Wednesday's men's 800m freestyle final. American Katie Ledecky lowered her own world record by 2.23 seconds as she swam clear of the field to successfully defend her 1,500m freestyle.

But for one unfortunate Hansard reporter, they are both called Albert Owen. Readers of the official report on Monday's House of Commons debates will have noticed an intervention from someone of that name during questions to the secretary of state for work and pensions. Except the intervention didn't come from Mr Owen, but from his colleague Wayne David, who was most put out - in a genial way - to discover his words credited to the Ynys Mon MP. "Albert Owen wasn't there," Mr David tells me. "It was me. I can't understand how they mixed us up. I'm a south Walian, he's a north Walian. I'm much taller than him. I've got more hair." I'm not sure the last argument is really a clincher, but the Caerphilly MP joked that he was now consulting his solicitor. It doesn't help his case that he was 550th in a "sexiest MP" poll, more than two hundred places behind Mr Owen). Be that as it may, Hansard has now corrected the record online and Mr David's views on job creation in Shipley and Yorkshire are now recorded correctly for posterity.
One is Labour MP for Ynys Mon; the other is Labour MP for Caerphilly.

In another call a woman reported the owner of a guest house where she was staying for refusing to cook breakfast.

England are due to play three one-day internationals and two Tests in Dhaka and Chittagong in October. Last month more than 20 people were killed after Islamic militants stormed a Dhaka cafe and days later four people died in another attack in Kishoreganj. Last year Australia postponed a tour to Bangladesh for safety reasons. Cricket Australia said "an independent security assessment found a risk of terrorism in Bangladesh targeting Australian nationals" and they also pulled their under-19 team out of this year's World Cup in the country. England did send an under-19 team to the tournament but the recent attacks have placed October's tour in doubt and Dickason's report will be sent to the England and Wales Cricket Board's executive board to make the final decision.

Through Pottermore, JK Rowling will release more stories and background from the world of Harry Potter. Pottermore officially opens in October, and scammers are selling fake accounts for the site that claim to give fans early access. They are also using search engine poisoning to direct Potter fans to sites that are seeded with viruses and other malicious programs. Discovered by veteran security researcher Chris Boyd, the scams largely revolve around early access to the Pottermore website. The public at large will be able to sign up in October but early, or beta, access is being granted to people before then if they are among the fastest to complete a magical quill challenge on the Pottermore site. The challenge runs every day from 31 July to 6 August and about one million beta accounts will be given away. Scammers are now offering to register people for this challenge and are getting hold of their personal details as a result. Also, Mr Boyd discovered, some scammers are supposedly selling Pottermore accounts for about $100 (£60) via eBay. While many of these are likely to be fake, some are being offered by fans who have set up more than one account for Pottermore. The administrators of the Pottermore website have noticed the trade in accounts and have issued a warning about the practice. In a blog post, the Pottermore administrators said buying and selling accounts was "expressly prohibited" in the terms and conditions. Also, it added, signing up with a view to selling an account "deprives genuine fans the chance to gain early access". It added: "We have the right to terminate any Pottermore accounts that are sold online." Videos of people successfully signing up to Pottermore are being posted on YouTube but, found Mr Boyd, many lead to surveys tied to affiliate marketing schemes. Those who fill in the surveys get the offer of a download as a reward that is often found to be full of malware or adware. Scammers are also starting to poison search engine results associated with Pottermore to direct people to sites loaded with malicious programs. One site found by Mr Boyd is known to have harboured fake security software that claims to find viruses on a PC and asks for cash to clean up the non-existent problem.
Cyber conmen are cashing in on interest surrounding the Pottermore website.

The animal was discovered off Lannacombe Beach in north Devon in August before being taken to the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth. Initially named Lionel, the lobster has since been renamed JJ in honour of British boxing Rio Olympics silver medalist, Joe Joyce, the aquarium said. Vets are monitoring the animal to check time out of water has not harmed it. James Wright, the curator at the National Marine Aquarium where JJ was weighed, said he appeared to be the heaviest lobster caught in the UK since 1931, when one weighing just over 9kg was caught off Fowey in Cornwall. Mr Wright said it was "very hard to age a lobster" because they frequently moult and their growth is affected by different factors. However, he estimated JJ was between 50 and 70 years old. "He has spent some time with our husbandry team here at the National Marine Aquarium who have been monitoring his progress very closely, and we're happy to report he has been feeding well and is on the road to recovery," Mr Wright said. He added the lobster would join "other native marine species" at the aquarium when he had made a full recovery.
A common lobster weighing in at 7.65kg is thought to be the heaviest caught by a diver in UK waters since 1931.

The Padgett's Motorcycles rider, who became the fastest 250 racer ever at the Lightweight Classic TT in 2016, has never ridden in the class at Dundrod. "I started my racing career on a Suzuki RGV250 and I still just love racing the 250," said Anstey. "I can't wait to get the RCV out at Dundrod - the 250 is a thoroughbred racing bike." Team boss Clive Padgett has also confirmed that Anstey will ride iconic Moto GP bike, the Honda RC213V-S, at the Dundrod circuit for the second year running. "We're proud to be the only one of the three international road races to run an ultra lightweight/lightweight class," said Noel Johnston, Ulster GP clerk of the course. "It's great to see a rider like Bruce entering this class for no other reason than he really enjoys it. "I think it'll give the race a bit of a shake up, as Bruce's calibre and track record combined with Clive Padgett's experience and machinery will surely be very hard to beat. "It's been a somewhat subdued season for Anstey so far, but if there's one thing I've learned, it's to never ever discount him for podium contention at the Ulster."
New Zealand's Bruce Anstey has announced he will ride a two stroke in the Ulster Grand Prix next month.

Operation Safeway sees Met Police officers deployed to 166 key junctions during rush hours to warn road users who are breaking road traffic laws. It comes as six cyclists were killed in 14 days on London's roads. The force said the fines issued were mainly for using a mobile phone while driving or passing through a red light. On Monday, there were about 650 officers at 60 sites across London. However, the scheme will see all 2,500 traffic officers take part. It is due to last until Christmas when it will then be reviewed. Over the course of the scheme, officers will hand out advice to anyone seen putting themselves or other road users at risk, including pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and other motorists. The six cyclists who died between 5 and 18 November are: Brian Holt, 62; Francis Golding, 69; Roger William De Klerk, 43; Venera Minakhmetova, 24; a 21-year-old man from St John's Wood and a man believed to be in his 60s. The names of two of the victims have not yet been officially released by police. The number of cyclists killed so far in crashes in London this year is the same as the figure for the whole of 2012.
Some 150 fixed penalty notices were issued by traffic police officers on Monday as part of measures to raise road safety awareness.

The Driven group also plans to try out a fleet of autonomous vehicles between London and Oxford. The cars will communicate with each other about any hazards and should operate with almost full autonomy - but will have a human on board as well. Previous tests of driverless vehicles in the UK have mainly taken place at slow speeds and not on public roads. The Driven consortium is led by Oxbotica, which makes software for driverless vehicles. Founder Prof Paul Newman, of Oxford University, said: "We're moving from the singleton autonomous vehicle to fleets of autonomous vehicles - and what's interesting is what data the vehicles share with one another, when, and why." The project is backed by an £8.6m government grant and involves an insurance company, which will assess the risks involved at each stage of the journey. The UK government has committed about £100m in total towards autonomous driving projects and has said it wants Britain to "lead the way in developing" the tech. But one expert said the country risks falling behind what is being done abroad. "Britain is trying to keep up, but the big development in the field is going on elsewhere," said Prof David Bailey from Aston Business School. "That includes Google in the US, Volvo in China and Daimler in Germany. "And amounts being committed [by the UK] are relatively small beer. "The Obama government, for example, proposed spending billions of dollars over 10 years." Calum Chace, author of Surviving AI, agreed that the UK appears to have fallen behind. "I don't know why we have to wait until 2019," he said. "But in a way it doesn't matter how aggressively the UK pushes this tech. When the US does this large-scale technology we will have to adopt it too. "It will save so many lives and so much money."
A consortium of British companies has unveiled a plan to test driverless cars on UK roads and motorways in 2019.

The City of London Police's Intellectual Property Crime Unit (Pipcu), which led the operation, said the men were suspected of selling products from Microsoft, Adobe and others via a dedicated website. The unnamed pair, aged 48 and 45, were arrested on Tuesday at their home, where computer equipment was seized. The unit is leading a piracy crackdown. Earlier this week, Pipcu announced another arrest in Manchester, where a 27-year-old was taken into custody accused of running a series of illegal sport-streaming websites The squad also recently arrested a 26-year-old in York accused of operating several boxing match streaming sites, and a 20-year-old in Nottingham alleged to have been responsible for proxy sites that allowed users to circumvent blocks on well-known piracy sites. "It is important that consumers are aware of the risks of buying counterfeit items," said Danny Medlycott, the head of Pipcu, after the latest case. "Not only is purchasing fake software violating the intellectual rights of software authors, but consumers are also putting their computers and laptops at risk from security threats, such as viruses and malware."

The France international is not part of Jurgen Klopp's plans, but the Reds want £20 million for the player. Sakho signed a new long-term deal at Anfield in 2015. But he has not played for the first team since April because of off-field issues and he was sent home from Liverpool's pre-season tour of the United States by manager Jurgen Klopp as a disciplinary measure. He was also handed a 30-day suspension by Uefa in April for testing positive for a prohibited substance following a Europa League tie against Manchester United the previous month. Swansea are 19th in the Premier League but have advanced to the quarter finals of the Checkatrade Trophy. The Swans' U21 side came from behind to beat Wolves 2-1 at the Liberty Stadium thanks to two second half goals from Oliver McBurnie. Christian Herc had given Wolves a half time lead, with a first half back injury to winger Mo Barrow giving the hosts cause for concern.

Travellers to Paris and Brussels were deterred after major terror attacks in November 2015 and March 2016 and numbers fell by 4% to 10 million. Eurostar, whose main shareholder is the French national rail operator, SNCF, made a profit of 31m euros in 2015. It said 2016 had been "a difficult year". Revenues were down 3% at £794m. But the company said there had been a pick-up in business at the end of last year which had continued into 2017. Last year, Eurostar said it would cut some of its services from December as it introduced longer trains. The new e320 trains introduced earlier in 2016 have around 20% more seats than the previous model, and are used for most services between London and Paris.
The channel tunnel train service Eurostar said it made an operating loss of 28m euros (£25m, $30m) in 2016 following a drop in passenger numbers.

Rovers predictably had the best of the contest but could not make the most of what was a game in hand over their rivals at the top of the National League. Jay Harris and Michael Ihiekwe each had an early chance for Tranmere before, midway through the first half, a mix-up between Gulls keeper Brendan Moore and team-mate Myles Anderson almost led to an own goal. Similarly, shortly before the break, a goalmouth scramble after Moore failed to clear a free-kick nearly saw the visitors go ahead. Rovers dominated again after the break although Torquay's Damon Lathrope hit the top of the bar with a 25-yard volley. Match report supplied by the Press Association. Match ends, Torquay United 0, Tranmere Rovers 0. Second Half ends, Torquay United 0, Tranmere Rovers 0. Jamie Reid (Torquay United) is shown the yellow card.

From Thursday, M&S will sell avocados bearing what look like pale tattoos, showing a best-before date and origin. Peeling away the traditional labelling will save 10 tonnes of paper and five tonnes of glue a year, says M&S. More of its fruit and vegetables may be laser-branded in future, the retailer says. "The laser just takes off one layer of skin and instead of inking it or burning it, the skin retracts and leaves a mark," says Charlie Curtis, senior produce agronomist at Marks and Spencer. "What we're putting onto the fruit is country of origin, best before date and there's a short code so you can put it through quickly at the [checkout] till." While the printed sticker is an effective way to label most groceries, they are sometimes prone to coming unstuck, particularly when applied to very dry, wrinkly or shiny surfaces. Alongside avocados, sweet potatoes and coconuts are among the more challenging products for the supermarket sticker-gun. It's taken M&S six months to perfect the laser process for avocados, but if the trial rolling out this week goes well they expect laser-labelling to be extended to more products. Previous experiments with citrus fruits proved disappointing, since the laser penetrated too far into the very soft, porous skin and made the fruit deteriorate faster. But Miss Curtis says they have high hopes for many other fruits and vegetables, possibly including lasering pumpkins with "cut here" scarey faces for Halloween. M&S has also experimented with lasering a complete barcode onto the avocado, but the skin was too uneven. However, it may work for other products, Miss Curtis said. M&S said the avocado was first introduced in its UK stores in 1968 as an "avocado pear" and some customers consumed it "as a dessert with custard". These days its more likely to be served "smashed" on toast, as guacamole or even in a smoothie. UK consumption of avocado has soared as it has become increasingly fashionable, and M&S said sales at its stores rose 29% last year. Hear more on the laser labelling of fruit and vegetables on the BBC World Service programme, Science in Action.
Marks and Spencer is paring back its fruit and veg labelling to be more environmentally friendly, replacing stickers with laser-markings.

The year-long study by the Child Poverty Action Group involved 340 pupils and 120 staff at eight primary and secondary schools across Glasgow. It identified basic cost barriers to some pupils reaching their potential. These were identified as uniform, travel, learning, meals, trips, clubs, fun events and attitudes to poverty. The findings will be presented at a special Inclusion and Equalities conference being organised by Glasgow City Council at Celtic Park on Friday. Stephen Curran, the council's executive member for education and young people, said:: "It is estimated in Glasgow that one in three children are in poverty - affecting almost 36,000 of our children. "This can result in them feeling excluded from school activities, trips, meals or simply finding it difficult to take part in routine school tasks like submitting homework which requires online access. "The findings and recommendations of this valuable report will shape future polices in Glasgow and build on the good practice and work already being carried out on this area in our schools." In a bid to address the problem, some schools are now distributing free meal and clothing grant forms as standard to all parents to reduce stigma, and starting homework clubs to help pupils who do not have computers at home. John Dickie, director of the Child Poverty Action Group in Scotland, added: "No child should ever miss out or be made to feel awkward at school just because their families are struggling on a low income but our work tells that all too often they do. "That's why we have been absolutely delighted to work with education and health services in Glasgow to identify the cost barriers children face at school, and are even more pleased that individual schools and the council are already taking practical action to remove those barriers. "It's now vital that all schools, local authorities and national government act on this report to ensure that no child misses out on any aspect of school because of financial barriers." A dedicated officer, funded by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and Glasgow Centre for Population health, will work for a further 18 months with schools across the city to help them minimise the impact of poverty on education and learning.
Children from low-income families can be held back at school by the costs associated with meals, trips and every-day equipment, suggests new research.

Both the boss of Unilever and the boss of Tesco have previously warned that the fall in the value of the pound since Brexit could see the price of some products rise. They are not seeing eye to eye now. A Unilever demand for a 10% rise in the wholesale price of many well-known brands has seen the UK's biggest retailer dig in its heels. Tesco boss Dave Lewis was a senior executive at Unilever, so is in a good position to read the Anglo-Dutch company's hand in this game of grocery poker. Industry sources have told the BBC that while retailers recognise the fall in the pound has put upward price pressure on some imported goods, they feel Unilever's demand for across-the-board price increases is unreasonable - not least because many of the products are produced in the UK. Retailers also feel that manufacturers are in a better position to absorb the shock of the currency move as their margins on the branded goods are between 20% and 30%, while the supermarkets generally operate on margins of between 2% and 3%. Rows between suppliers and retailers are common, but a dispute which sees supplies of much-loved brands choked off is not. Other grocers have been hit by the same demands and are still considering their options. While secretly cheering Tesco's stand, it's not clear they are rushing to join them. According to one competitor I spoke to, watching the market leader unable to sell some of customers' favourite products is not entirely without its benefits in a cut-throat retail world. Tesco said it hopes to resolve the dispute soon, but until then, Tesco shoppers may find some items on their list are not in stock.
It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Senators Richard Blumenthal and Edward Markey said passengers often bring extra items through the security screening process to save money. They asked major US airlines to suspend the fees during the busy summer season. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has struggled with long queues at major airports. "Passengers report waiting for so long in these lines that they miss flights, despite arriving at the airport hours in advance." the senators wrote in a letter to the airlines. "Travel officials, including TSA Administrator Peter Neffenger, have expressed fears of a meltdown this summer as travel increases." A spokeswoman representing the many of the airlines said the senators plan is a misguided attempt to re-regulate airline and would raise ticket prices. Jean Medina of Airlines for America said the TSA should hire additional staff at the busiest airports instead. Federal budget cuts have recently reduced the number of TSA screeners. American and Delta airlines said they planned to loan employees to the TSA to handle low-level tasks. The TSA was created in response to the 9/11 attacks, but the agency has been often accused of mismanagement and using inept screening procedures. American Airlines recently complained to Congress about TSA checkpoints, saying more than 6,000 American passengers missed flights in one week because of security delays. "The lines at TSA checkpoints nationwide have become unacceptable," said Ross Feinstein, a spokesman for American. Many airlines introduced baggage fees in 2008 to cope with soaring fuel costs. Despite historically low oil prices and record airline profits, the fees have not been revoked.
Two US senators have urged airlines to temporarily stop charging passengers baggage fees in an effort to speed up security queues.

Caslavska won seven Olympic golds and four silvers between 1960 and 1968. The Czech gymnast is one of just five women to win four golds in one Games, with American gymnast Simone Biles the most recent to do so in Rio. A vocal critic of the Soviet Union, Caslavska was forced into hiding in 1968 after signing a document calling for political reforms. The Two Thousand Words manifesto advocated change in Czechoslovakia but angered leaders in the neighbouring Soviet Union - which invaded the country two months later. Caslavska fled to a mountain village but was later given permission to return to the Olympic team, which she did just weeks before the Mexico Olympics in the same year. She went on to win gold in the vault, the individual all-round, the floor exercises and the uneven bars, before turning her head in silent protest during the Soviet Union national anthem. After retiring from gymnastics, Caslavska served as president of the Czech Olympic Committee (COC), won the Pierre de Coubertin Prize for promoting fair play in 1989 and was also awarded the Olympic Order. Her achievements in winning four golds at Mexico put her in exalted company, alongside Biles, Agnes Keleti and Larisa Latynina for Hungary and the Soviet Union respectively in 1956 and Romania's Ekaterina Szabo in 1984. Jiri Kejval, president of the COC, said that Caslavska was "a fighter" and that she "died in her sleep".
Vera Caslavska, one of the most decorated gymnasts, has died aged 74 after battling pancreatic cancer.

MK Dons manager Karl Robinson: "It was disappointing for us but it summed up our whole season. We were good but also poor in certain key areas. "It has been a massive learning curve. Some of these players deserve to be in the Championship but some don't and that is why we are where we are."

England came third at the 1999 and 2011 tournaments and fourth at the 2003 and 2007 competition. They also finished fourth at the 2014 Commonwealth Games but lost by just a point to both World Cup holders Australia and runners-up New Zealand. "We're competing so strong," Housby, 20, told BBC Newcastle. "We're going out there to right that wrong. It's the best chance England have had in a long time "I think the Aussies and the Kiwis can be afraid of us because the performance we put in at the Commonwealth Games was so heartbreaking - to come within a goal at the end of it." Australia, New Zealand and Jamaica have been thorns in England's side, taking gold, silver and bronze at the Games in Glasgow last year. Despite that, England are confident they can reach their first final since 1975. "We know with the squad on paper we can definitely do that," Housby said. "It's about getting the mentality that the Australians and New Zealand have had for so many years to push it and get over the line." Coach Tracey Neville has prepared her side for the tournament with a series of "on-the-road" friendlies, including Monday's win against Scotland at Newcastle's Sports Central venue. "I think it's something that Tracy is passionate about as she's worked in the north," Housby added. "It's really good to get the kids involved, and there's a lot of them, waiting here for autographs. "It's got netball out there and hopefully they'll support their Super League franchise - Team Northumbria - next season."

The Just Walk Out shopping experience uses the same types of technologies found in self-driving cars. The system detects when items are taken or returned to shelves and tracks them in a virtual shopping trolley. Once the shopper leaves the store, their Amazon account will be charged and receipt sent to them. The first shop is expected to open to the public in Seattle in the US in early 2017. "Grocery retail is a crowded sector, and customers have incredibly high expectations of the Amazon brand," said Natalie Berg, an analyst at Planet Retail. "If they're going to differentiate, they'll need to translate the fantastic customer experience that they have created online in a physical store setting. This is no easy feat. Removing the traditional checkout process does exactly that." Customers will swipe into the store using the Go app. It will use computer vision, sensors and deep learning algorithms to keep track of what customers are picking up off the shelves. Amazon has spent four years developing the shop. "Despite significant investment in store technology, the checkout experience has been largely ignored," said Ms Berg. "Retailers have made a lot of progress on mobile payments as a standalone option; however, very few have been successful in moving towards a comprehensive mobile wallet and thereby addressing the problem of long queues. This is where Amazon comes in." The shop will offer ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by on-site chefs or by local kitchens and bakeries. Grocery essentials such as bread and milk will also be on sale alongside Amazon Meal Kits, with all the ingredients needed to make a meal for two in about 30 minutes. This is not the first time a grocery retailer has attempted innovation in the US. Tesco disposed of its Fresh & Easy shops in 2013 after the small convenience stores focused on healthy foods proved unpopular with US shoppers more used to extensive choice. Amazon already has physical book shops in the US. But some users feel the company has not quite got the retail experience right, saying it feels more like an "annex to a website".
Amazon has revealed plans for a grocery shop without a checkout process, where customers will instead pay for the goods they have selected via an app.

Earlier, police closed off a number of roads in the Broadmead area after the car was left outside Bridewell police station for about an hour. Avon and Somerset Police said calling in the bomb disposal unit was part of the standard procedure and an assessment was under way. The road closures have added to the Balloon Fiesta congestion. Police said the car raised suspicion earlier this afternoon by a member of staff at the police station who thought it was "strange" after the car had been left there. They also said the bomb disposal unit team had their own vehicles and equipment and while their investigation continued, the cordon would remain in place. Avon and Somerset police said: "We're conducting enquiries to establish the owner of the car and as a precaution are also assessing it." Road closures were put in place just before 16:00 BST on Sunday. The roads affected are Bridewell St, Nelson St, Silver St, Union St, Rupert St & Haymarket. Police added that cars parked in Rupert St car park can be collected. Bus services run by First have also been affected by the Rupert St closure and diversions are being put in place.

"Dogs gone," Barnaby Joyce tweeted. Depp was accused of not declaring Yorkshire Terriers Boo and Pistol to customs officials when they flew into Queensland by private jet last month. Thanking Depp and his wife Amber Heard for co-operating, Mr Joyce said Australia had "strict biosecurity requirements for good reasons". He had given Depp a deadline of Saturday to return the dogs to the US or they would be put down. Australia's quarantine regulations aim at preventing diseases such as rabies reaching its shores. But Mr Joyce has been criticised for his strong stance, with thousands signing a petition to spare them. He received praise and condemnation from people using the #WarOnTerrier hashtag. Mr Joyce defended his position by saying: "If we start letting movie stars even though they've been the 'sexiest man alive' twice to come into our nation, then why don't we just break the laws for everybody?" The dogs' illicit entry appears to have been uncovered after a grooming salon on the Gold Coast posted pictures of them on its Facebook page.

In a statement published on their website, the group said they were taking up an offer made by Colombia's Paulina Vega in her quest to win her title. Ms Vega, 22, has so far not responded to the offer. The rebel army has been in talks with the government for the past two years. It has waged an anti-government guerrilla war for the past 50 years. Representatives of both sides are trying to strike a deal but the talks in the Cuban capital, Havana, are deadlocked. Agreement has so far been reached on issues of land reform and bringing the Farc into formal politics, but a final peace deal remains elusive. During interviews prior to being crowned Miss Universe, Ms Vega had spoken of wanting to see peace in Colombia. In their statement, Farc rebels said they welcomed her "willingness" to travel to Havana, adding: "We invite you to materialise your visit to update you about the development of the peace talks." The BBC's correspondent in Havana, Will Grant, said it was surprising that the group would act on Ms Vega's sentiments. Some 220,000 people, most of them civilians, are estimated to have been killed since the Marxist-inspired Farc rebels launched their armed struggle in 1964.
Rebels from Colombia's Farc militia have invited the newly crowned Miss Universe to assist their peace negotiations with the government.

Politician Elio Di Rupo said the eight parties in the talks had agreed on moves to resolve key sticking points. They included the division of power between French- and Dutch-speaking communities, he said. The country has been without an elected government for 15 months. Disagreement centres on electoral boundaries in the linguistically divided Brussels region. "The eight parties have together succeeded in overcoming the obstacles which have created difficulties these last few days," Mr Di Rupo said in a statement. Belgium's political crisis worsened on Tuesday when caretaker Prime Minister Yves Leterme announced he was leaving to take up a new job in Paris. King Albert II cut short a holiday in France to fly back to Brussels following the news. The king had appointed Mr Di Rupo, leader of Belgium's second-biggest party the French-speaking Socialist Party, to negotiate a coalition deal. On Wednesday Mr Di Rupo said that negotiations faced imminent collapse and warned: "The future of the country is at stake." But after further intense talks on Wednesday he was finally able to announce a breakthrough. He said the parties had agreed on solutions to sticking points including a dispute over Bruxelles-Hal-Vilvorde (BHV), a district covering the capital and the suburbs. BHV is the only district officially bilingual rather than French- or Dutch-speaking. "Even if the work is far from being finished and numerous debates have to be have to be worked out, the steps taken today... constitute an important step," the statement added. Financial markets and rating agencies are pressing the country to create an effective government capable of carrying out structural reforms and reducing debt. Mr Leterme announced he would leave by the end of this year to take up a post at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Residents were baffled by coaches of sightseers arriving in Kidlington, Oxfordshire and posing for photos in front gardens and against parked cars. But a guide has now confirmed the tourists are attracted by the quiet houses and gardens. The guide was responding to a BBC question sheet that was handed to tourists. The tourists were first identified in Benmead Road and the Moors in July, the Spotted: Kidlington Facebook page reported. Anne Clifton, who lives in the Moors, handed the BBC's question sheet to a member of the tour party when they reappeared in the road on 23 October. She said: "I asked a woman standing at the door of the coach if she would be good enough to complete the form. "She was not actually one of the tourists, but was leading the party." A tour guide provided the following answers to the BBC question sheet: Q: We are happy to have you here but why have you come? A: 因为我们中国没有,这里有我们找国家的感觉 Translation: "Because we don't have [these] in China. Here, we are looking for the true sense of this country. " Q: Do you like it? A: 返璞归真 Translation: "[Yes]. Because the environment makes you feel you are closer to the simplicity of your original self." Q: What do you like here? A: 房子,花园 Translation: "The houses [and] gardens." The tourists were a short walk from thatched cottages and a church but preferred to take photos outside modern houses. Previous theories for the cause of the influx included mistaken identity, a covert social experiment or possibly Oxfordshire's connection to Inspector Morse. Baz Daniels, who has lived in Kidlington for more than 20 years, said he had been in touch with a friend in China to try to get to the bottom of the tourist influx. "Kidlington is apparently being marketed by Chinese tourist agencies as a beautiful English village on the way to Bicester Village shopping centre," he said. "Many of the visitors live in cities and love to see things like the hanging baskets and little flowers in people's gardens."
Chinese tourists are descending on an English village in search of "the true sense" of the UK, the BBC can reveal.

The start of the second half of the match at Roma's Olympic Stadium was delayed due to a saturated pitch. Sampdoria led 2-1 at the time but following the resumption Roma scored twice, including Totti's 90th-minute penalty to stay unbeaten in Serie A. Totti, 39, has now scored in 23 consecutive Serie A seasons for Roma. Sampdoria had won their first three games of the season and hit back after Mohamed Salah's early goal for Roma to lead through goals from Luis Muriel and Fabio Quagliarella. But former Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko made it 2-2 after 61 minutes before fellow substitute Totti secured victory from the penalty spot with his 249th goal in Serie A after Dzeko had been fouled. "That was the first time I've ever felt afraid of taking a penalty. You just can't afford to miss under the Curva," Totti told Sky Sports, with reference to the popular Curva Sud end at Roma's home ground. Totti has started what is expected to be the 25th and final year of his career at Roma, where the former Italy international is the club's record appearance maker with 759 games and highest goalscorer with a total of 305 in all competitions. Elsewhere, inclement weather also affected Genoa's match against Fiorentina, which was abandoned after 28 minutes when the surface became unplayable.
Club legend Francesco Totti scored a late winner on his first appearance of the season as Roma beat the weather and Sampdoria to secure a 3-2 victory.

An Education Authority (EA) review of the centre, published last year, recommended it close on 31 March 2017. However, the EA have now said that it will not close until responses to a consultation on the proposals are fully considered. In November 2016, the EA announced plans to close half of its eight large outdoor residential activity centres. It was hoped the move could save around £1.5m. As part of the EA review, three other centres were also earmarked for closure in August 2017. They are Bushmills Outdoor Education Centre in County Antrim, Ardnabannon Outdoor Education Centre in County Down and Killowen Outdoor Education Centre, also in County Down. However, the plans met with some local opposition and 1,850 responses to the consultation on them have been received. In a statement, the EA said that it was considering those responses. "The review recommendations will not be implemented until this process is complete," it said. Delamont Outdoor Education Centre opened in 1987 and is situated within the 300-acre Delamont Country Park. It has the capacity to accommodate up to 30 students, as well as accompanying staff on both weekdays and weekends. However, it is only two miles away from Killyleagh Outdoor Education Centre, which is also operated by the EA. The EA review recommended that the Killyleagh centre remain open.
The proposed closure of Delamont Outdoor Education Centre in County Down has been postponed.

People in St Dogmaels might also have low water pressure, Welsh Water said. The company is using "ice pigging" to clean six miles (10km) of pipes in the next few weeks as part of its investment in the area's drinking water system. The work involves injecting a pipe with "slushy ice" to pick up any debris. Boss Ian Christie said: "With some parts of the water network laid over a century ago, the time has come for us to undertake some essential work to cleanse the pipes."
Residents in a Pembrokeshire village are being warned their water could be discoloured due to £21m maintenance work.

After news that a Scots nurse was being treated for the virus, Hopkins wrote: "Sending us Ebola bombs in the form of sweaty Glaswegians just isn't cricket." Another tweet said: "Glaswegian ebola patient moved to London's Royal Free Hospital. Not so independent when it matters most are we jocksville?" Police confirmed they were looking into an unspecified number of complaints. Det Insp Glyn Roberts, of Police Scotland, said: "We have received a number of complaints regarding remarks made on Twitter. "Inquiries are ongoing into the nature of these tweets and to establish any potential criminality. "Police Scotland will thoroughly investigate any reports of offensive or criminal behaviour online and anyone found to be responsible will be robustly dealt with." Hopkins' comments came after it emerged that the nurse, who volunteered to help Save the Children in the fight against Ebola, was diagnosed on her return from Sierra Leone. Pauline Cafferkey, a public health nurse at Blantyre Health Centre in South Lanarkshire, has been receiving specialist treatment at the Royal Free Hospital in north London. A message posted on Police Scotland's Twitter feed on Tuesday stated: "Please be aware that we will continue to monitor comments on social media and any offensive comments will be investigated." More than 11,000 people have signed an online petition on the change.org website for Hopkins to be charged over the "racist tweets" regarding Scotland.
Police are examining complaints about Ebola comments tweeted by controversial TV personality Katie Hopkins.

The 39-year-old has passed the Premier League and Football League's fit and proper person test and will become chairman of the West Midlands side. He succeeds American Randy Lerner, who bought Villa for £62.6m in 2006. Villa were relegated from the Premier League for the first time last season, finishing bottom, and have since named Roberto di Matteo as manager. Dr Xia spent six years at Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, including five months at Oxford University, before returning to China. He made his fortune as the owner of Recon Group, a holding company that has the controlling interest in five publicly listed companies on the Hong Kong and Chinese stock exchanges, employing 35,000 people in 75 countries. His takeover comprises a £52m purchase price and a £24m overdraft. In addition, he will contribute £60m in operating costs. Dr Xia met the Football League's Shaun Harvey in London on Monday for formal confirmation he had passed the owners' and directors' test, after the Premier League had been satisfied in its investigations. The new Villa vice-chairman is Chris Samuelson, an international financier who has been involved in a failed takeover at fellow Championship club Reading. He also attempted to inject finances into Premier League Everton more than a decade ago. The new chief executive is Keith Wyness, who filled the same role at Scottish Premiership club Aberdeen, then Everton. Samuelson was instrumental in getting Dr Xia interested in the Villa project and introduced the new owner to Wyness. Dr Xia is expected to inject about £30m into the transfer fund available to former Chelsea, West Brom and Schalke boss Di Matteo as he rebuilds a first-team squad that won only three league games last season.

Employee Nathan Owens also alleges swastikas were drawn on toilet cubicle walls at Euro Quality Coatings Ltd. The Cardiff hearing was told one worker was called "Eddie" because he looked like Hollywood actor Eddie Murphy. Head of human resources at the factory Julie Hunter said it was "banter" but "nothing malicious". Ms Hunter said the company "absolutely" took allegations of racism seriously. But when managing director Steve Rosher was asked if banter could go too far, he replied: "I don't think banter can go too far, by its definition it is something you cannot take too far." Another worker, Lee Hardy, told the hearing paedophile jokes were made because "Jimmy Savile was in court". He added: "It was the general topic of the day in the newspapers and on social media, so everyone was talking about it at the time." He also denied calling a colleague an "IRA terrorist". The hearing continues.

Whitlock, 23, gained Britain's first-ever Olympic gymnastics gold with victory in the men's floor and won his second gold on the men's pommel horse. The gymnast, coach Scott Hann and team mate Brinn Bevan were met by crowds at South Essex Gymnastics Club, Basildon. Whitlock said he was proud to be supported by an "incredible" club and hoped to inspire more gymnasts. The gymnast now has five Olympic medals, earning bronze in the all-around to add to bronze in both the team event and pommel horse at London 2012. Whitlock said it was not until he flew into UK with the rest of Team GB on Tuesday that he realised quite how much of an impact their achievements had made at home. "It was like we were in a bubble in Rio - you could feel it slightly on social media, but it was literally when we stepped forth off that plane that we realised what an impact we'd made," he said. "The whole of Team GB have done so well." Mr Hann said: "All the guys have trained so hard but... it's phenomenal and an honour to be part of Team GB and this historic result."
Double Olympic gold medallist Max Whitlock has been welcomed home by the gym which trains him.

The team will present its findings at the National Cancer Research Institute conference next week. They plan to use liposomes - tiny bubbles of fat which carry materials round the body - to release toxic drugs when their temperature is raised. The "grenades" are intended to avoid side-effects by ensuring the drugs target only the tumour. Experts said such technology, which has been effective in animal experiments, was the "holy grail of nanomedicine". Cancer scientists are trying to harness the transporting abilities of these fatty spheres by getting them to carry toxic drugs to tumours. "The difficulty is, how do you release them when they reach their target?" Prof Kostas Kostarelos, from the University of Manchester, told the BBC News website. The Nanomedicine Lab in Manchester has designed liposomes that are water-tight at normal body temperature. But when the temperature increases to 42C they become leaky. "The challenge for us is to try to develop liposomes in such a way that they will be very stable at 37C and not leak any cancer drug molecules and then abruptly release them at 42C," Prof Kostarelos added. He suggests heat pads could be used to warm tumours on the body surface such as skin, head or neck cancers. Probes can heat tumours inside the body, and there is also discussion about using ultra sound to warm tumours. In early tests on mice with melanoma there was "greater uptake" of drugs in tumours using the thermal grenades. And that resulted in a "moderate improvement" in survival rates. Prof Kostarelos said similar techniques were being trialled in patients and this "is not a fantasy." Prof Charles Swanton, the chairman of the conference, said targeted liposomes were a "holy grail of nanomedicine". He added: "These studies demonstrate for the first time how they can be built to include a temperature control, which could open up a range of new treatment avenues. "This is still early work but these liposomes could be an effective way of targeting treatment towards cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed." Follow James on Twitter.

Unemployment fell to 1.69 million between January and March, down 2,000 from the previous quarter. The jobless rate remained at 5.1%, the ONS said. There were 31.58 million people in work, up 44,000 from the previous quarter. That took the employment rate to a record high of 74.2%. But the number of job vacancies dropped by 18,000 to 745,000, the ONS added, marking the first fall for almost a year. David Freeman, a senior statistician at the ONS, said: "The employment rate has hit another record high, but this time the increase is quite modest. "With unemployment very little changed, that is further evidence the jobs market could be cooling off." Average earnings including bonuses rose 2% from a year earlier, up from 1.9% in the three months to February. The ONS said the timing of bonuses this year had affected the rise in total earnings. Excluding bonuses, earnings rose by 2.1% year-on-year in the three months to March, down from 2.2% in the three months to February. The number of people claiming jobless benefits fell by 2,400 in April to 737,800, although revised data showed the figure rose by 14,700 between February and March, the largest increase since autumn 2011. The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Stephen Crabb, said: "These are another record-breaking set of figures, with more people in work than ever before and the unemployment rate is the lowest in a decade at 5.1%." But economists were less upbeat. David Kern, chief economist at the British Chambers of Commerce, said that despite the UK employment rate reaching a record high, "the cumulative picture - including manufacturing, trade and GDP figures - points to a softening in economic activity". Paul Hollingsworth, UK economist at Capital Economics, said: "Although there were some bright spots in today's UK labour market figures, on the whole they offered a further indication that the economic slowdown has sapped the jobs recovery of its recent vigour." However, Martin Beck, senior economic adviser to the EY Item Club, said: "With the unemployment rate back to the pre-crisis average... it would be unrealistic to expect the rapid drops in unemployment seen in 2015 to continue indefinitely."
The UK unemployment total has fallen slightly, but the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has said the jobs market could be "cooling off".

The man was arrested by police in Birmingham on Wednesday and was brought to Northern Ireland for questioning. He faces a number of charges involving drug trafficking and money laundering and is to appear before Newtownards Magistrates' Court. He was among 15 people arrested in the UK and Italy during the investigation. Four men have already appeared in court charged with similar offences. The charges follow the seizure of more than £800,000 of 'skunk' cannabis and cash during searches in multiple locations across Northern Ireland in recent days. The Police Service of Northern Ireland have carried out searches in Belfast, Greenisland, Bangor, Newtownards and Ballywalter. They have also been co-operating with police in Italy, where officers uncovered a cannabis factory. It is believed the total value of the 'skunk' seized in Northern Ireland and Italy was £4.25m and was destined for Northern Ireland. The four other men who have already been charged - Jian Wen Chen, 29, of Belfast, Jiazhu Cia, 30, of Ballywalter, Yong He, 33, from Belfast and Wei Zou, 32, from Bangor - all appeared in Newtownards Magistrates' Court on Thursday. The men were among six people, including two women, arrested in Northern Ireland on Tuesday. The women, aged 29 and 26, have since been released on police bail pending further inquiries. Eight people were also arrested in Italy and remain in custody.
A 37-year-old man is due in court later over an international investigation into the supply of 'skunk' cannabis to Northern Ireland.

UK authorities said a hack in April 2011 "could have been prevented". The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) criticised the entertainment giant for not having up-to-date security software. Sony told the BBC it "strongly disagreed" with the ruling and planned to appeal. "Criminal attacks on electronic networks are a real and growing aspect of 21st century life and Sony continually works to strengthen our systems, building in multiple layers of defence and working to make our networks safe, secure and resilient," a spokesman for the firm added. The company had previously apologised for the hack which saw its PlayStation Network knocked offline for several days. In May 2011 company executives bowed in public and offered users free games to show their remorse. The ICO's report said technical developments had led to user passwords not being secure - leaving data such as names, addresses, dates of birth and payment card information at risk. "If you are responsible for so many payment card details and log-in details then keeping that personal data secure has to be your priority," said David Smith, deputy commissioner and director of data protection at the ICO. "In this case that just didn't happen, and when the database was targeted - albeit in a determined criminal attack - the security measures in place were simply not good enough." Since the hack, which angered gamers who wanted to play over 2011's Easter weekend, Sony has said it has rebuilt the PlayStation Network system to be more secure. But the ICO said the fine reflected the severity of the security lapse, adding that it was among the most serious it had ever seen. "There's no disguising that this is a business that should have known better," Mr Smith added. "It is a company that trades on its technical expertise, and there's no doubt in my mind that they had access to both the technical knowledge and the resources to keep this information safe." One positive from the hack, Mr Smith said, was that polls conducted after the breach suggested a greater awareness of the risks in handing over personal data.
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has been fined £250,000 ($396,100) following a "serious breach" of the Data Protection Act.

Media playback is not supported on this device The two strikers squared up near the end of Preston's 2-1 loss at Sheffield Wednesday as they chased an equaliser. Both players are likely to receive three-match bans for violent conduct. "I've been in the game for 30 years playing and managing and I've never been involved with anything like that," Grayson told BBC Lancashire. "I spoke to them in the dressing room and they were apologetic, but that doesn't wash with me, something like that should never happen in the professional game." With Wednesday temporarily down to nine men following Fernando Forestieri's sending off and Will Buckley off the field receiving treatment to a shoulder injury with all the substitutes used, North End had been in with a chance of levelling the game after Doyle had pulled a goal back. But Beckford took exception to Doyle's decision to pass to Marnick Vermijl, who shot over the bar in the 90th minute. "It's an absolute embarrassment," Grayson said. "I stick up for my players at every club I've been at, I don't like to criticise them in public, I will do in the dressing room. But I can't stick up for either of those players." Grayson said the duo would be reprimanded by the club, on top of any suspension handed to them by the Football Association. "You expect it in the playground between four or five-year-olds, not from two professionals who've been in the game a long time," added the Preston boss. "They've let themselves down, but that's the least of it. They've let our supporters down who've travelled here, and ultimately cost us the potential of getting a point or maybe three points because 11 against 10 we were on top and we had them. "For something like that to happen is embarrassing. It's a joke, it's a disgrace." Preston captain Tom Clarke told BBC Radio Lancashire that the team will discuss the incident early next week. "It's not like us, we're a close group and all stick together and we'll look at it again on Monday and try and air stuff out," he said. "We'll iron stuff out as quickly as we can because we've got to move on."
Preston North End manager Simon Grayson described Eoin Doyle and Jermaine Beckford as an "absolute embarrassment" after they were sent off for fighting.

The 23-year-old, who scored 18 La Liga goals on loan at Eibar last season, will not play in the Swans' Premier League opener at Burnley on Saturday. The fee for Borja, who has signed a four-year deal and will wear the number 10 shirt, eclipses the £12m the Swans paid for Wilfried Bony in 2013. "There is pressure, but it is good pressure," said Borja. "I want to repay the transfer fee paid for me with good performances and results. Hopefully I can score a lot of goals. "I want to settle and spend several years here. I am very happy to be here. I am eager to contribute to the success of the team." The former Spain youth international, whose signing is subject to international clearance, arrives as the Swans look to replace Andre Ayew following his move to West Ham. Forwards Alberto Paloschi, Eder and Bafetimbi Gomis have also left the club this summer. Borja, whose full name is Borja Gonzalez Tomas, is an Atletico youth product but made only one senior league appearance for the Champions League finalists. He joins fellow Spaniard and World Cup winner Fernando Llorente at the Liberty Stadium. "I was happy with the squad before but I am more happy now because, with Fernando Llorente and Borja Baston, I think we have signed two good players, two very important players," said Swans head coach Francesco Guidolin. He is the Welsh club's fifth summer signing following Llorente, Dutch defender Mike van der Hoorn, Dutch winger Leroy Fer and Australian keeper Mark Birighitti.

Fuel duty has been held at 57.95p per litre since the March 2011 Budget. In his Autumn Statement, Mr Hammond also revealed plans for investment in transport, including £1.1bn for English local networks. And he pledged £390m for work on low emission vehicles and the development of connected autonomous vehicles. Fuel duty remains the biggest component of the price of diesel and petrol. Motorists also pay 20% value added tax on those fuels. It was last increased in January 2011 from 58.19p to 58.95p a litre and cut by a penny in the Budget two months later. Mr Hammond said: "This will save the average car driver £130 a year and the average van driver £350 a year. "It is a tax cut worth £850m next year and means the current freeze is the longest for 40 years." What the Autumn Statement means for you UK economy 'resilient' despite £122bn hit Autumn Statement latest updates Key points at-a-glance Your questions answered Drivers could also find their journey times cut after the chancellor announced investment of £220m to "address traffic pinch points on strategic roads". He also promised £110m for an Oxford to Cambridge Expressway as well as East West Rail to create "a transformational tech-corridor" to link "the world-class research strengths of our two best-known universities". In addition, the government will invest £450m to trial digital signalling on the railways to "achieve a step change in reliability and to squeeze more capacity out of our existing rail infrastructure". Mr Hammond added: "Reliable transport networks are essential to growth and productivity so this Autumn Statement commits significant additional funding to keep Britain moving now and to invest in the transport networks and vehicles of the future." He said the money for low emission vehicles would "build on our competitive advantage" in the field. The chancellor added that the Department for Transport would continue to work with Transport for the North to develop detailed options for the Northern Powerhouse rail system.
Next year's planned rise in fuel duty has been cancelled by Chancellor Philip Hammond - the seventh successive year that the tax has been frozen.
