Media playback is not supported on this device The 31-year-old Ulster player had hoped to return early this year after he was injured during Ireland's World Cup quarter-final defeat by Argentina. "Unfortunately it's a slow process and to rule yourself out of the Six Nations is disappointing," said Bowe. Bowe, capped 67 times, expects to return for Ulster later this season. Ireland begin their Six Nations campaign against Wales in Dublin on 7 February. Bowe said in November that, although he needed surgery, the injury was not as bad as he initially feared. But speaking on Tuesday, he said: "I have to concentrate on getting myself back to where I was and there's no point in rushing it. "To be back by the start of February is unlikely but I'm still pretty positive I can add something to Ulster's season."

Summary: Ireland winger Tommy Bowe will miss this year's Six Nations as he continues his recovery from a cruciate knee ligament injury.

Mick Cash, RMT general secretary, said the cleaners were being "mercilessly exploited by privateers". He added: "GWR and Servest UK can bring an immediate resolution to this dispute by addressing the issues over pay and other grievances." The union said 98% of its 189 members who took part in the ballot voted in favour of strike action. Turnout was 58%.

Summary: A second 24-hour strike by contract cleaners on the Great Western Railway is under way.


An icebreaker carved a channel through the ice for the Northern Fleet flotilla, Interfax news agency said. Besides Sredniy, five island bases are being built by 1,500 workers - at Alexandra Land, Rogachevo, Cape Schmidt, Wrangel and Kotelny. Russia sees the Arctic as a strategic priority in its new naval doctrine. The fleet's vice-admiral, Viktor Sokolov, inspected the construction site on Sredniy, flying there by military helicopter when the flotilla reached the Kara Sea. During the Cold War the USSR tested nuclear weapons in the area. Russia says it is bolstering its forces in the Arctic in response to Nato expansion up to Russia's borders. Experts say the melting of Arctic sea ice - generally attributed to climate change - is making the polar seas more accessible for shipping. That could make it easier to prospect for untapped energy and minerals in the region.

Summary: Russia has sent warships to an Arctic region where new naval infrastructure is being built, including an air defence base on Sredniy Island.


A spokeswoman for the Schlitterbahn Water Park in Kansas City said it was saddened by the death and the park had been closed pending an investigation.

The Sunderland midfielder, 25, played in a 4-0 win at Crystal Palace, three years, eight months and 29 days after starting in a Manchester City victory. Rodwell's winless run of 39 matches stretches back to a City win over West Brom on 7 May 2013 and includes 37 games since he joined the Black Cats. But it was not all good news as he came off injured after half-time. Rodwell joined Sunderland for £10m in August 2014 and while he has tasted victory a handful of times in cup competitions and when coming on off the bench, his unwanted record of failing to win in the league when starting has become well publicised. The previous longest winless Premier League run belongs to three men - ex-Derby players Darren Moore and Kenny Miller, along with former Aston Villa defender Alan Hutton.

Summary: Jack Rodwell has won a Premier League match in which he has started for the first time in 1,370 days.

It is believed the Tourist Board's budget for supporting events could be cut by more than 50% next year. Events such as the North West 200 and the Belfast Festival at Queens attract grants from the public purse. The aid was administered by the NI Events Company at the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure but is now the Tourist Board's responsibility. By the end of this year, events across Northern Ireland will have received Â£1.6m in grant funding. According to the Tourist Board, however, the amount it will have available for grants next year will fall to Â£700,000 - a cut of 56%. The Tourist Board would like more but will have to await the outcome of the spending review. The cut has prompted fears among some that grant-aiding cultural and sporting events will no longer be seen as a priority as public spending cuts begin to take hold.

Summary: Some Stormont Executive funding for major sporting and cultural events is to be dramatically reduced.

The conditions in Torfaen on Tuesday followed a yellow "be aware" warning issued by the Met Office for rain in most parts of Wales.

Summary: A funnel cloud, which turns into a tornado if it touches the ground, was spotted in Torfaen on Tuesday.


Media playback is not supported on this device A bright loft-style dance studio in a converted Glasgow factory may seem an unlikely venue for an employment scheme. Yet it is here that social enterprise Street Step aims to kick-start young people's journey into work, training or education by raising their heart rates first. Manager Carla Jack says many of the young people arrive with low confidence and motivation. "Some of them have never worked - they've never even considered applying for a job," she says. "After the eight week programme, they are speaking in front of groups, performing in front of large audiences, and they're also applying for loads of jobs." Street Step currently runs sessions in Glasgow, London and Birmingham.

Mr Turnbull unveiled a new system that he said would give better care to patients. The system would allow more use of technology and a focus on tailored care over a standardised approach, he said. Australia spends around A$10b (Â£4.7b; $7.3b) each year on mental health services. "Mental illness gnaws away at participation, it gnaws away at productivity," Mr Turnbull said. The new strategy, which will be rolled out over three years from 2016, comes after a review critical of Australia's current mental health system. Services such as hotlines will be streamlined and local health offices will be able to commission their own care plans for patients with complex needs. Mental health advocacy groups have welcomed the decision.

Summary: Mental illness hurts Australia's productivity and services need to be overhauled, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says.

The 17-year-old, who was last seen at Didcot Railway station on 3 December last year, was remembered at a gathering in the town at 19:00 GMT. Jayden's former boyfriend Ben Blakeley, 22, from Reading, was sentenced to life for her murder, in July this year. Blakeley was told to serve a minimum of 20 years for murdering Jayden and burying her in his uncle's grave. Jayden's body was discovered in the grave of Alan Kennedy in the cemetery of All Saints' Church, Didcot, Oxfordshire, on 18 December. She was believed to be pregnant with Blakeley's child, but tests have never fully confirmed this. Blakeley's brother Jake, of Venners Water, Didcot, was accused of preventing the lawful burial of Jayden, which he denied, and his retrial is set for 19 January after jurors failed to reach a verdict.

Summary: Family and friends of murdered Jayden Parkinson have held a memorial event to her, a year after she disappeared.


Development of a proposed £292m specialist hospital in Cwmbran was put on hold in January last year. Health Minister Edwina Hart ordered more research to be done to ensure the plans were "robust". Now the critical care unit has been included in the five-year plan of Aneurin Bevan Health Board, which runs NHS services in the former Gwent area. The plan states that the Specialist and Critical Care Centre on the Llanfrechfa Grange site is the "way forward" for the community served by the health board. But it acknowledges it may take five to 10 years for the centre to come to fruition. The new hospital services vision would mean a network of six local hospitals, including the Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr in Caerphilly and Ysbyty Aneurin Bevan in Ebbw Vale, Blaenau Gwent. A smaller general hospital would still be based in Newport.

Summary: Mothballed plans to create Wales' first super-hospital for the critically ill have been put back on the agenda.


And in his quest to do so Mr Abe, who won a return to office as Japan's prime minister in December, has launched one of the most aggressive policy moves in Japan's history. Such has been the scale of his plan, that observers have even named it after him, calling it "Abenomics". It is based on three key pillars - the "three arrows" of monetary policy, fiscal stimulus and structural reforms - to ensure long-term sustainable growth in the world's third-largest economy, And with initial surveys indicating a big victory for the ruling coalition - led by his party - in the weekend's upper house elections, he is expected to be able to push his plans with even more assertiveness. While the markets, investors and Japanese exporters have cheered his moves so far, some have warned of the risks and threats posed by them in the long run.

Summary: Shinzo Abe has a mission - that of reviving the Japanese economy, which has been stagnant for two decades.

"It is interesting as now that everything has gone 99.9% digital, people are getting interested in the analogue processes, so people are making late 19th Century forms of photography," she told ABC radio. "Because light travels in a straight line, whatever is down on the ground you will see on the ceiling as it is a straight line," Ms Stacey said. "The exposure time for the photos runs from one minute and four minutes, depending on the brightness outside."

The Ulster University economists expect business investment will be delayed or cancelled as a result of policy uncertainty around the Brexit process. However, they predict that consumer spending will remain solid, allowing the economy to avoid recession. They caution the effects of Brexit and a Trump presidency mean "significant uncertainty" for forecasts. The economists believe that as greater certainty emerges, growth rates will increase towards the end of this decade. They expect the growth rate for 2016 to be just under 2%, which by recent standards is a reasonable performance. The forecasts also predict that UK inflation will increase sharply to more than 3% in 2017 and will reach 4% in 2019. In response, they expect interest rates to rise from their historic lows and reach 3% by 2019.

Summary: The Northern Ireland economy will grow by just 1% in both 2017 and 2018, economists forecast.


The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is expanding efforts to source technology that can detect small, unmanned aerial vehicles near airports. Three British companies developed the Anti-UAV Defense System (Auds), due to be included in new trials. It works by jamming signals to drones, making them unresponsive. A thermal imaging camera allows the Auds operator to target the unwanted drone before signal jamming, via a high-powered radio signal, is activated. Auds was designed by Enterprise Control Systems, Blighter Surveillance Systems and Chess Dynamics. "Sometimes people fly drones in an unsafe manner," said Marke "Hoot" Gibson, an FAA senior adviser. "Government and industry share responsibility for keeping the skies safe, and we're pleased these three companies have taken on this important challenge." The technology will be tested at several airports to be selected by the FAA. Two other firms - Gryphon Sensors LLC and Sensofusion, both US-based - will also take part.

Summary: A UK-developed system capable of jamming signals to small drones is to be trialled by the US aviation authority.
