Rehm, 27, won Paralympic gold in 2012 and is looking to become the second athlete after Oscar Pistorius to compete at the Olympics. IAAF rules say amputee competitors must prove they do not have an advantage. IAAF president Lord Coe said Rehm had not proven the prosthetic he uses "does not give him a competitive advantage". Rehm had commissioned a scientific study hoping to prove he did not get an advantage, with a report last month indicating no clear edge over able-bodied athletes. The study showed that amputees such as Rehm had a less efficient start but a more efficient jump. Last year, Rehm jumped a Para-athletics world record of 8.40 metres to win the IPC world title in Doha. That distance would have beaten Briton Greg Rutherford's winning leap at the 2012 London Olympics by nine centimetres.

Summary: Paralympic long jumper Markus Rehm is unlikely to compete at the Rio Olympics after failing to prove his prosthetic leg does not give an unfair advantage.

The decision has spurred hopes that Casamance's beaches will attract French holiday-makers, giving the tourist industry a boost. Improved security meant that French citizens could now visit the region, France's embassy in Senegal said. Casamance had been hit by unrest linked to a separatist group since 1982. Once home to a thriving tourist industry, Casamance is separated from the capital, Dakar, by The Gambia. It is home to numerous ethnic groups, including many Christians, while northern areas are dominated by three, largely Muslim communities. Violence has waned since a 2014 ceasefire agreed between the government and separatist rebels. There has been a push to clear land mines from the region over the last few years. The BBC's Abdourahmane Dia in Dakar says the French decision will be welcomed by the government of Senegal, which has long called for France to scrap the travel warning.

Summary: France has scrapped a travel advisory of more than 25 years which urged its citizens not to travel to Senegal's coastal region of Casamance.

People were invited to drop off weapons without fear of prosecution over a two-week period that ended on Sunday. The 59 shotguns - including two sawn-offs - were among 293 items handed in. The others included 17 revolvers, 26 pistols and 65 air weapons. All the weapons will be destroyed. Ch Insp Phil Fortun said the operation had been a "huge success".

That's according to Professor Nick Jennings who is working on a multi million pound project for the goverment to see if remote controlled drones could save lives. These unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) would be launched to hover over a disaster area and assess the situation. This information is then sent to emergency services to so they can co-ordinate a response and send help to the right place. Robots would also be sent to areas on the ground that are too dangerous for humans, where they could defuse bombs or rescue people who are trapped. The research has only been tested on a computer so far but Prof Jennings wants to test his robots out in a real-life situation. He said, "The next stage is to run some mock disasters in open spaces, and have human actors in there, interacting with the robots, doing it for real."

Summary: Robots could be used in the future to help after natural disasters like floods and earthquakes, and respond to terrorist attacks.

Ann Maguire, 61, was stabbed to death by a student at Corpus Christi Catholic College in April 2014. Will Cornick, who was 15 at the time, was ordered to be detained for a minimum of 20 years after admitting her murder. West Yorkshire coroner David Hinchliff said a date for the inquest had not yet been fixed. A full inquest is not usually held following a successful prosecution. Mrs Maguire's husband, Don, has previously called for a full independent inquiry into the circumstances of his wife's death. He said due to Cornick's guilty plea the evidence was never fully reviewed and he wanted to ensure nothing could have been done to prevent her death. Mrs Maguire had taught Spanish at Corpus Christi Catholic College for more than 40 years at the time of her death. A review of the case is already under way by the Leeds Safeguarding Children Board.

Summary: A coroner is to hold a full inquest into the death of a Leeds school teacher murdered in her own classroom.

A team of experts from Edinburgh's Spectrum Heritage is 3D scanning the structures, which sit in the Old Inverurie Churchyard. Exposure to the elements has left the stones in a poor condition, and some of the Pictish carvings have been eroded. The stones will be temporarily removed to allow conservation work to take place. Clara Molina Sanchez, director of Spectrum Heritage, said: "The 3D recording is going to help the conservation process. "We'll be removing the biological growth that's growing on the surface of the stones and consolidating all the areas that are a little bit fragile."

Summary: A project to conserve four Pictish stones in Aberdeenshire has got under way.


The project in Levenshulme, Manchester hopes to highlight difficult areas for elderly or vulnerable people. The biodegradable paint reveals parts of the pavement which might trip up those with mobility problems. The "graffiti" volunteers are all connected to Manchester's Age Friendly team, which aims to raise the concerns of older people. Levenshulme Inspire, which works to make the area more accessible for the elderly, said the paint is temporary and will wear off naturally. "While it's there it does at least show people where we think potential hazards could be," added co-ordinator, Kate Williams. Manchester City Council called the project "art with heart" and said it was "gratifying to see communities getting involved in looking after one another."

Summary: A group of "grey graffiti artists" have been flagging up potential pavement hazards with spray paint.

Huntsman Donald Summersgill and joint hunt masters Rupert Andrews and David Greenwood faced charges relating to alleged incidents of hunting with dogs. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said their cases were dropped after new evidence came to light. It dismissed the charges after consulting Avon and Somerset Police. The cases were based on video evidence gathered by the League Against Cruel Sports in two separate incidents in September and October 2013. A spokesman for the League said it will be writing to complain to the CPS, as it "strongly believes" its footage contains evidence that stags were being hunted contrary to Section 1 of the Hunting Act.

Taunton Deane councillors voted unanimously in favour of stopping the sale of the substances in any premises rented from the authority, at a meeting on Tuesday.

Along with forbidding the sale of the substances from premises owned or leased by the council, it was also agreed to contact all landlords in the area to ask them to prevent their tenants from selling legal highs.

A member of the public came across it on James Street on Sunday and reported it to the RSPCA. A vet found the monkey to be very thin with a fractured pelvis and wounds on its tail. The RSPCA has already called on the Welsh Government for a ban on keeping primates as pets. Annie James, an animal collection officer with the charity, said: "It broke my heart to see him in such a sad state." No licence is required to keep a marmoset, but the RSPCA said the animals' complex needs were almost impossible to meet in a domestic environment. In 2015, the charity received more calls about primates being traded or kept as pets in Wales than in any of the previous 11 years.

Summary: A marmoset monkey had to be put down after it was found in an "appalling condition" on a street in Newport.
