CO2 emissions are believed to be the driving force behind climate change. The Paris deal is the world's first comprehensive climate agreement. It will only come into force legally after it is ratified by at least 55 countries, which between them produce 55% of global carbon emissions. "Ratification is yet to be done and India too is yet to do it. I announce that India will ratify the decision on October 2, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi," Mr Modi said in a speech at a national meeting of his ruling party in the southern state of Kerala. Last December, countries agreed to cut emissions in a bid to keep the global average rise in temperatures below 2C. The US and China - together responsible for 40% of the world's carbon emissions - both formally joined the Paris global climate agreement earlier this month.

Summary: India, one of the world's largest greenhouse gas emitters, will ratify the Paris global climate agreement pact next month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said.

Closures, reduced opening hours or transferring control to voluntary groups are options being considered. The authority said a two-month public consultation would take place before a final decision was made.

A Christmas recruitment vacancy showed Santa would earn Â£12-an-hour. In comparison, the ad said his wife would be paid an hourly rate of just Â£6.70. A Celtic Manor spokesman said the difference in pay was due to the fact they would perform "very different roles" at the Christmas Kingdom event.

The 54-year-old has had two spells in charge of the Reds as caretaker manager, in 2014 following the sacking of Billy Davies and last season following Philippe Montanier's exit. "The academy has produced some outstanding young talent," chairman Nicholas Randall told the club website. "Securing the continued involvement of Gary will provide much needed continuity and stability. "A functioning and productive academy is vital to the long term success of any football club."

Summary: Nottingham Forest academy manager Gary Brazil has signed a new "long-term" contract with the Championship side.


Conwy council had sought permission to knock down Colwyn Bay pier. The council said it was "disappointed" by the decision but plans to submit a new application which satisfies all of the guidelines and criteria. A legal fight between former owner Steve Hunt and the council over ownership of the pier was taken to the High Court earlier this month. The decision comes days after Clwyd West AM Darren Millar presented ministers with a petition, signed by more than 1,000 people. Mr Millar said the decision brought campaigners "one step closer" to redeveloping the landmark for community use. According to the council, the application satisfied two of three elements and members of the council's project board will meet in the "next few days" to consider a response. A High Court judgement over ownership is expected by the end of November.

Summary: An application to demolish a north Wales pier has been refused by the Welsh government.


Fudge's owner was shocked to find his pet when he arrived to vote at the station in Chorlton, Manchester. An appeal had already been made on social media, as voters were choosing the mayor of Greater Manchester. One person working inside the station tweeted: "Missing: brown rabbit has just wandered into our Polling Station #Chorlton. Random Election Day!" A council worker said: "The owner was very surprised to be reunited with Fudge inside the polling station." There appear to be no rules regarding rabbits in polling stations. But rules regarding other animals seem clearer. Before the 2008 London Mayoral election polling staff were issued with advice stating that dogs had to be in an "accompanying" role rather than "free-range". And dogs have been pictured outside polling stations across the UK. In rural constituencies where voters may arrive on horseback, animals should be tethered outside.

Summary: An escaped rabbit wandered into a polling station to the amusement of council staff and voters.

Great Britain have narrowly missed out on promotion following second-place finishes in the third-tier competition in the past two years.

Summary: Great Britain won their second game of World Championship Division 1 Group B, beating Estonia 5-1 in Belfast.


Australian couple Sean and Shelley Thomas found it in a sand dune at Rattray Head on Scotland's north-east coast. The note inside, written by then 14-year-old Raymond Davidson, is dated 1 January 1971. The couple said it would be "wonderful" to track Mr Davidson down before they returned home to Brisbane on Sunday. Mrs Thomas said: "We went for a walk along the sand dunes. It was just at the bottom of one of the sand dunes hidden under a couple of other bottles. "My husband was having a bit of a poke around as he actually collects bottles and stuff at home, and we noticed that one of them had something inside it. We cracked it open and, there you go." If he were still alive Mr Davidson would now be aged about 58.

Summary: A message in a bottle has washed up 44 years after it was written by a Carlisle boy at the start of the 1970s.


The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) commissioned the external report in the wake of complaints from surgeons. The results come after a senior surgeon sparked outrage over claims doctors should "comply with requests" for sex to save their careers. The RACS has apologised to surgeons, stressing the need for change. "I'm sorry that too many of us have been silent bystanders," RACS president Prof David Waters said. "This silence has been part of the problem." The head of the RACS advisory group, former Victorian health minister Rob Knowles, said he was disturbed by the results, and surprised "at the depth and the entrenched nature of bullying and harassment". The report recommends training, education, addressing gender inequality and actively holding surgeons and their employers to account.

Summary: Almost half of Australian surgeons have suffered discrimination, sexual harassment or bullying, a report says.


Ms Lagarde threw her hat into the ring during an appearance on French television. Her term in office expires on 5 July and the process to find a successor opened on Wednesday. The UK's Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, has already said he is "delighted to nominate" her for a new term. She has also received the backing of Germany, China, France and Korea. Last month, Ms Lagarde was ordered to stand trial in France for alleged negligence over a compensation payment to a top businessman, Bernard Tapie. She approved the payment in 2008 when she was French finance minister. However, Ms Lagarde's lawyer described the decision to make her stand trial as "incomprehensible", and said the IMF boss would appeal. Despite this controversy, commentators say she has no obvious challengers for the job.

Summary: The head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, has confirmed she will stand for a second term.


The US company already operates in more than 300 cities worldwide, including Dublin and London. It has advertised for a general manager position in Belfast, but will also require an operating licence. It said it had not fixed a date for beginning business in the city, but hoped it would be later this year. Drivers are recruited locally. The business model has proven controversial in several locations. Last year around 12,000 taxi drivers staged a protest in London. They claimed the app, which is used to measure journeys, constituted ''an illegal meter''. Customers then use an app that pinpoints their location and alerts drivers to a pick-up request. A company spokesperson said: "Uber's ambition is to be in every major city in the UK - this of course includes Belfast. "Whilst we are now looking for a general manager in Belfast, this is not an indication of our launch timeline."

Summary: The taxi app firm Uber hopes to be operating in Belfast before the end of the year.


Paul Moffat, of Hopeman, Moray, began abusing the girl when she was just four years old. The judge told him "no child should have to undergo" the ordeal she went through. The 30-year-old denied the charges but was found guilty after a trial of raping and sexually abusing the child between January 2014 and May 2015. The crimes happened at an address in Kinloss, Moray. Lord Matthews told Moffat the victim had been "an innocent wee girl". He said: "No child should have to undergo not only the abuse, but also the confusing emotions that sort of conduct engenders." Moffat will be supervised for two years on his release. He will also be on the sex offenders list indefinitely.

Summary: A rapist caught after his young victim told nursery staff she had been abused has been jailed for eight years.


Collins, 36, joined the Mariners on Tuesday having been without a team since his release by Championship club Rotherham at the end of last season. He has also played for seven other clubs, including spells in the Premier League with Sunderland and Stoke. "A lot of teams, managers or chairmen in particular are looking to take young lads on loan from Manchester United or City, the academies," he said. "They're thinking - are we going to get much shelf-life out of an older player if we take him on? "Other managers think 'well, we need a solid older head in the team with a bit of experience to help the young lads through' as well, so there's a balance. "It does get annoying, people thinking, 'oh he's 36 now', but I've rarely missed a day's training through my career and I'll always make myself available to play."

Summary: Former Wales defender Danny Collins says football has become "ageist" after signing for League Two side Grimsby.


Southend-on-Sea Borough Council and Rochford District Council will now formulate detailed plans.

The JAAP presented to the inspector provided evidence for the creation of 4,200 additional jobs excluding direct airport-related employment up to 2021 and up to 2,000 additional jobs later. The aim is for an additional 1,180 jobs within the airport boundary. Borough council leader Ron Woodley said: "This is a golden opportunity for Southend-on-Sea and we will also be working to ensure that our policies reflect the skills required and give our young people every opportunity to fill these new jobs that will be created."

Summary: A scheme to create more than 7,000 jobs on a business park next to London Southend Airport has been approved by a government inspector.


The militant group Islamic State (IS) has claimed responsibility, saying it had targeted the country's Shia minority. The bomb exploded at a Shia mosque in the southern city of Najran, near the border with Yemen. Sunni militants from the group have launched several deadly shooting and bomb attacks on Shia Muslims this year. Unconfirmed reports suggested the number of dead might be higher. It was not clear whether the attacker was killed by the blast. Police found a letter by the bomber addressed to his parents confirming his intention of carrying out the attack, an interior ministry statement said. An IS social media posting said the attack had targeted the "rejectionist Ismailis", referring to a branch of Shia Islam known as Ismailism. The Najran region has a large number of Ismaili residents.

Summary: At least one person has been killed and a dozen others injured in a suicide attack in Saudi Arabia, state TV says.


Police said 270 drivers were found to be over the alcohol limit, 12 more than last year. Its operation ran from 27 November to 2 January. The figure includes motorists who were unfit to drive, or who were unable or refused to give a sample. ACC Alan Todd said said: "While the number of detections is slightly higher than last year, it's difficult to accept this situation as a success - we shouldn't be detecting anyone drink-driving." One motorist was found to be almost five times over the limit, he said. "It's disappointing that despite our warnings, a minority of people completely disregarded the safety of themselves and others by continuing this shameful and incredibly dangerous practice," he said.

Summary: The number of people in Northern Ireland caught drink-driving during the police's Christmas crackdown has shown a slight increase on last year.


Use the team selector below to show your thoughts on each position - rather than choosing a starting 11, you will simply be putting a tick or a cross for every position. Think your first-choice keeper is fine - put a tick there. Worried about right-back? use a cross. Think you've got one great striker but lack back-up or an alternative, put a tick in one attacking position, a cross in the other. You get the idea. We will analyse the data to find out which fans are the most content, which would change great chunks of their squad and which individual positions are a cause for concern at clubs. For each position, select whether you think Spurs are sorted, or if a player is needed.

Summary: Are you happy with Tottenham's squad, or do you think they should have strengthened further during the transfer window?


The Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) was looking to recoup funds it said had been lost through nine disputed trades conducted in 2008. The Libyans said the bank had taken advantage of its lack of financial savvy, exerting "undue influence". Goldman Sachs told the court the claims were without merit. Dismissing the LIA allegations, the judge ruled there had been no undue influence from Goldman. The LIA accused Goldman Sachs of encouraging it to make complex, money-losing investments with its $67bn national investment fund, set up by Col Muammar Gaddafi in 2006 to invest the country's oil wealth. The nine equity derivatives expired worthless. The bank denied all the claims, saying it was a case of "buyer's remorse". Goldman Sachs on Friday welcomed what it described as "a comprehensive judgment in our favour". But the LIA said it would continue to fight to "return Libya's wealth to the people of Libya".

Summary: The London High Court has dismissed a $1.2bn (£840m) claim against US investment bank Goldman Sachs over Libya's sovereign wealth fund.


The American signal crayfish had been found in the River Gaunless, a tributary of the River Wear, the Wear Rivers Trust (WRT) said. They were "effectively eating machines" which would damage the river's ecosystem, it said. Project officer Steve Hudson urged river users to check and dry equipment to stop them spreading. "This could be very damaging for the watercourse," he said. "The American signal crayfish have a ferocious appetite and also damage the river banks through burrowing. "They could have made their way here in a multitude of ways, and it is difficult to pinpoint the source, whether it be flown in on birds or ducks, carried in on vehicles, via anglers' waders or canoeists' paddles." The species came from America in 1976 and has become widespread, carrying a disease which is endangering the native white-clawed crayfish.

Summary: A "highly invasive" alien species of crayfish has been discovered in a County Durham river.

PCC David Keane said there is a case to answer for gross misconduct following allegations made last year. Deputy Chief Constable Janette McCormick has been appointed Acting Chief Constable. Cheshire Police said it would not be commenting. Mr Keane said the suspension follows an investigation conducted by an external police force. "Having carefully considered the evidence, I have determined that there is a case to answer for gross misconduct with regards to authority, respect and courtesy and discreditable conduct," he said. "I consider that the public interest requires that Mr Byrne be suspended pending the conclusion of the hearing." An independently-chaired gross misconduct hearing will now take place. Mr Byrne has been Chief Constable of Cheshire Police since 2014.

Summary: Cheshire's Chief Constable Simon Byrne has been suspended by the county's police and crime commissioner (PCC) while a gross misconduct investigation takes place.


Media playback is not supported on this device The Bayern Munich coach has signed a three-year contract to succeed Manuel Pellegrini this summer. Sunday's defeat by Manchester United has put City's top-four place in doubt, leading to discussion over whether Guardiola has an escape clause. But BBC Sport has learned no break clause exists, so the 45-year-old Spaniard will join in July as planned. Sunday's defeat means City are in the fourth and final Champions League qualifying slot, a point above West Ham and Manchester United. All three teams have played 30 Premier League games. Former Barcelona boss Guardiola has never coached in the Europa League.

Summary: Pep Guardiola will be Manchester City manager next season even if the club do not qualify for the Champions League.

The report also included timelines and processes for the implementation of its recommendation. The working group included a draft bill as part of its final report, which will be available within the next four weeks. Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said the report will not sit on the shelf along with others on the same topic.

Summary: Voting to the upper house of the Irish parliament should be extended to Northern Ireland and abroad, a working group on reform has recommended.

Summary: A clubber is critically ill and four others were hospitalised after taking a "bad batch" of drugs, said police.


The so-called Fagin's Law would target those "procuring young people to commit offences" in the state of Victoria. The name refers to the fictional ringleader of child pickpockets in Charles Dickens' novel Oliver Twist. The crackdown comes after a series of crimes committed by young people in the state. Victoria's Attorney-General Martin Pakula said the legislation would be introduced to state parliament early next year. It would go further than an existing law of incitement, which requires authorities to prove a specific crime has been procured. "This is more general, this is about criminals who, for example, just tell young people to steal things and bring them to them for payment," Mr Pakula told the ABC. "There is a gap in that law at the moment." It comes as the state announced it would increase its police force by 20% over four years.

Summary: Adults who groom children into committing crimes will face up to 10 years in jail under proposed new laws in Australia.

Koeman quickly changed them... and tried to avoid taking responsibility. He explained in his weekly pre-match news conference: "A big mistake of my wife, I'm a Blue but I do like a glass of red wine." Koeman had earlier posted a snap of his tree on Twitter. Following complaints, Koeman's tree was redecorated with far more neutral cream and white baubles. "Better colour?" the former Southampton boss tweeted. But some Everton fans thought he should have gone even further... mocking up a full blue-and-white Everton-themed tree on social media.

Sea defences along the west shore need to be bolstered to prevent flooding during future storms. The plan is to bring in 3,000 tonnes of limestone to the seafront near West Parade. A report to planners say the method has proved "very effective" and is aimed at stopping waves overlapping the sea wall and flooding gardens of nearby homes.

Newly allowed books include the erotic English novel Fanny Hill, first published in 1748, and The Long March, a Chinese communist text. But several adult magazines remain banned, as do publications by the Jehovah's Witnesses Church. The government said the development reflected changes in society. The Media Development Authority said it "routinely reviews prior classification decisions, in order to ensure that they keep pace with societal norms", the Strait Times reported.
