The system relies on pedestrians and motorists mutually agreeing to give way to each other and was adopted in Southgate Street in May 2011. Within days, some groups claimed it would only be a matter of time before someone was seriously injured. Gloucestershire County Council said the system had a good safety record but people remain unclear on how it works. In September the authority had 265 responses to a consultation about it, with 68% agreeing a pedestrian crossing was needed. A spokeswoman for the council said: "Traffic surveys show that the shared space has a good safety record with vehicles sticking to a 20mph limit during peak times. "However, it is understood that people are still unfamiliar with how the space should be used and who has the right of way." The "zebra-style" crossing is expected to be added before summer 2015.

Summary: A new crossing for pedestrians is to be added to a "shared space" in Gloucester that has been the subject of criticism.


The draft document cites links between terrorist attacks and humanitarian intake, the ABC reports. The proposed reforms include a simplified visa framework to create "stronger controls over access to permanent residency and citizenship". Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said he had not seen the document. "Assuming it's genuine, ideally these things do not get leaked, but it happens from time to time," Mr Turnbull said on Friday. Immigration Minister Peter Dutton also said he had not read the document. "Government departments produce draft documents for consideration all the time. This is a draft document which has not been seen by the Minister or his staff - nothing more," a spokesperson for the Minister said in a statement. The draft document also reportedly proposed a revamped citizenship test and pledge, constant assessment of refugees and a framework to consider migrants' suitability for life in Australia.

Summary: A leaked cabinet document reportedly shows Australia is considering sweeping visa reforms amid concerns over radicalisation of new migrants.

Thousands of images were taken on 24 and 25 October for the "24 Hours in Bristol" photographic competition. Its "Magic Hour" theme was chosen because the dates coincided with the clocks going back - giving most people an extra hour in bed. Helen Sheppard's image of a technician on a cherry picker installing Christmas lights won first prize. HR manager Ms Sheppard, from Frenchay, said: "Walking around at night taking photographs I noticed just how many people are up working in the early hours of the morning." The photos are on display at the Harbourside Arts Centre, off Millennium Square, from 2 - 11 December.

Summary: Photos celebrating a city's "unsung army" of nightshift workers have gone on display.


A three-person panel upheld a lower court's ruling that the "Greek yogurt" label misled customers. Chobani's yoghurt is strained a number of times to give it a thicker texture, which the firm has said is typical of a style found in Greece. Chobani's rival, Fage, sued the firm in British courts last year. Chobani was introduced in the UK only in 2012 but has been available in US markets since 2007. The privately-held firm recently announced that revenue had surpassed $1bn (Â£602m). However, Chobani has also suffered several setbacks. In September, consumers complained of "bloating" in some Chobani packages, forcing a recall. At the end of December, high-end US supermarket Whole Foods recently announced that it would stop carrying Chobani's yoghurts.

Summary: Chobani, a US-based yoghurt manufacturer, cannot label its UK products Greek as they're made in the US, according to a UK court ruling.


Launching their housing plans, AM Peter Black said the Conservatives and Labour were fighting over "ideological dogma" on the Right to Buy council homes. He pledged to build 20,000 affordable homes over five years, if the Lib Dems win power in May's assembly election. Mr Black said the party would make at least 2,500 "rent to own" homes available to first-time buyers. The Liberal Democrats are also proposing to strengthen the powers of the Residential Property Tribunal into a "housing court", dealing with challenges to rent increases and adjudicating on issues including housing quality and safety.

Summary: The Liberal Democrats have claimed to be the only party with the ambition to tackle Wales' "housing crisis".

It is going to take a few days before he returns home, she said in Cape Town. He retired from public life in 2011 but continues to travel widely. The 83-year-old Nobel peace laureate cancelled a planned trip to Rome in December following another infection. His hospitalization comes a few days after he renewed his wedding vows to his wife Leah Tutu to mark their 60th wedding anniversary. She has remained by his bedside in a Cape Town hospital, says the BBC's Nomsa Maseko in South Africa. Desmond Tutu: Profile: Archbishop Desmond Tutu Archbishop Tutu in his own words

Mr Gross is suing for at least $200m (Â£140m) he claims he lost after being forced to leave Pimco in 2014. The bond manager alleges that executives at his former firm plotted to oust him and spilt his bonus. A judge ruled there was enough evidence to proceed pointing to a "series of alleged oral promises [and] assurances of continued employment." Pimco had argued Mr Gross was never guaranteed employment and could have been fired without cause at any time. The company hasn't commented on the latest development. Mr Gross helped found Pimco - an investment management company that focused on bond investing - nearly 40-years ago. He left the firm abruptly in 2014 following disparaging reports about his management style. Mr Gross filed his lawsuit against Pimco in October.

Summary: Investor Bill Gross can move forward with a lawsuit against his former company, Pimco, a judge has ruled.

Mr Evans added the decision had been made after consultation with Mr Pugh's family.

Summary: A company director has admitted causing the death of a golf club worker who was found dead in a resort lake.


The hosts were facing a heavy defeat after closing on 169-7 on Monday, still 150 short of making Ireland bat again. Paul Stirling dismissed JJ Smit before spinner George Dockrell sealed victory with the final two Namibia wickets. Ireland, who declared on 570-6, top the table with maximum points from their opening two games. A second-wicket stand of 326 between skipper William Porterfield (186) and Ed Joyce (205) laid the foundations for a big total.

Sascha Kindred, aiming to reach his sixth Paralympic Games, missed out in the SM6 200m heats by 0.23 seconds. He races again in Wednesday's finals. It takes the number of GB swimmers to have achieved the qualification times for Rio to 24. While they are not guaranteed a place in the GB team for the Paralympics, which run from 7-18 September, they are highly likely to feature when it is named next month.

Summary: Three more swimmers achieved the Rio Paralympic qualifying standard at the British Para-swimming trials in Glasgow.

Summary: The chief constable of Gloucestershire Police, Suzette Davenport, is to retire later this year.


Congress went too far in passing the law, which would change US State Department policy, the court ruled. Currently, the US State Department does not list Israel as the place of birth for Jerusalem-born Americans. The status of Jerusalem is highly contentious, as the city is claimed by both Israel and the Palestinians. The ruling shows that the US government still refuses to recognise sovereignty over Jerusalem, and accentuates the president's power in foreign affairs. Congress passed the law in 2002, but neither former US president George W Bush nor president Barack Obama has enforced it. The ruling puts an end to a 12-year-old lawsuit from a Jerusalem-born American and his parents. Jerusalem-born Menachem Zivotofsky's parents Ari and Naomi Zivotofsky long wanted Menachem's passport to say he was born in Israel. About 50,000 American citizens were born in Jerusalem.

Summary: The US Supreme Court has invalidated a 2002 passport law allowing Jerusalem-born American citizens to claim their birthplace as Israel.

They have been learning about hazard awareness, accident prevention, first aid and open water rescue skills. Rob Stuteley, RNLI lifeguard supervisor in Jersey, said they had worked with the Jersey Aquatic Rescue Club on the training course. He said : "We have developed a good working relationship with them over the summer as they've carried out voluntary patrols on the beaches alongside the RNLI lifeguards. "One of our aims is to increase the number of local lifeguards working year on year so we hope this course will play a big part in encouraging more local people to sign up to join the RNLI lifeguard team for 2013." Mr Stuteley said islanders who are interested in lifeguarding should contact the charity.

Summary: A group of new lifeguards have been trained by the RNLI in Jersey.


An executive told CNN that the decision had "nothing to do with programming or editorial decisions". Last August, producers were asked to use the slogan "Most watched, most trusted" instead but there has been no official announcement of the change. Gabriel Sherman, the journalist, who broke the story tweeted that the slogan had been an "iconic tagline of the Roger Ailes era". Mr Ailes, the founder and ex-chairman of Fox News, resigned last year after female employees made sexual harassment allegations against him, and died last month aged 77. Fox News is arguably the most powerful voice in conservative media in the US. President Donald Trump regularly quotes the channel in his frequent Twitter statements.

Summary: The US news network Fox News has dropped its slogan "fair and balanced".


A crowd wearing red fez hats chanted "just like that" as balloons were released to reveal the plaque on the house in Barrowgate Road, Chiswick.

Mr Cooper lived in the house with his wife and two children from 1955 until his death in 1984. The comedian died after collapsing during a live broadcast from Her Majesty's Theatre on Haymarket in the City of Westminster. Unveiling the plaque, Mr Dyke called him "a comic genius and none of us quite understand how and why but he was." Tommy Cooper's friend and colleague Ken Dodd had supported the proposal for a plaque, but was unable to attend the ceremony. Other comedians previously given blue plaques include Kenneth Williams and Tony Hancock.

Summary: Entertainer Tommy Cooper has been honoured with a blue plaque on his former west London home.

He was dismissed by Porto in January and had been linked with English Championship side Wolves, who have been bought by a Chinese group for £45m. Lopetegui replaces Vicente del Bosque, 65, who announced last year that he would retire after Euro 2016. Del Bosque took charge of the Spain national side in 2008 and guided them to victory at both the 2010 World Cup and the 2012 European Championship. He offered to resign after Spain's exit at the group stage of the 2014 World Cup, but was convinced to stay.

Delport took 1-14 and then hit four fours in a 17-ball 19 last week in the Foxes opening T20 Blast three-wicket victory over Lancashire. Leicestershire return to action on Friday when they travel to New Road to face Worcestershire.

Summary: Leicestershire have extended the contact of all-rounder Cameron Delport until the end of the 2019 season.


The Association of British Insurers (ABI) data found all age groups except those aged under 21 saw costs rise. The average price paid for comprehensive motor insurance across all ages hit a record £462, a rise of 8% on the year before, according to the ABI Motor Premium Tracker. Drivers in their late 50s faced the highest rises, at nearly 13%. Those aged under 21 have the highest average premium at around £923 annually. However technology used to track driving habits of young drivers meant those aged between 18 and 21 were the only age group to see motor insurance premiums fall, down 2.3% between 2015 and 2016. The insurance industry group said premiums could rise further between now and the start of 2018 as insurers pass on costs such as the insurance premium tax and changes to the discount rate, which increased the claims for insurers.

Summary: Car insurance premiums hit record highs between 2015 and 2016, according to an industry group.

As part of essential work to repair Durley Lane bridge, the A4 Keynsham bypass will be shut from midnight to 06:00 BST on Sunday. A council spokesman said the bypass was closing to allow the installation of a new contraflow. "Essential repair work" to re-waterproof the deck began on 16 March.

The contraflows are expected to be in place for six weeks - three weeks per side - and there will be a signposted diversion through Keynsham. The council warned that a further night closure would be required to remove the contraflow at the end of the works by the end of May.

Summary: Drivers are being warned of disruption after Bath and North East Somerset Council announced it was temporarily closing a major route in Keynsham.


Hernanes and Simone Zaza scored the goals as Juventus extended their club record for successive home clean sheets to 10.

Hernanes' first-half strike and Simone Zaza's late header helped Massimiliano Allegri's men brush aside relegation-threatened Carpi. They can complete a double by beating AC Milan in the Italian cup final on 21 May. "I am happy with the win," Allegri said.

Now we are thinking about the last two games and then the Coppa Italia final, which we are all looking forward to."

Summary: Juventus celebrated the Serie A title in style with a 10th successive league win.

Hamilton have been short of options in that position since Lennard Sowah moved to Hearts earlier in January. Accies' head of player recruitment David MacKinnon told BBC Scotland: "He's got a good pedigree with loads of experience in the English leagues."

In a BBC interview, he said the migration crisis was putting the entire EU project at risk, not only the EU's passport-free Schengen zone. He said the EU must urgently expand reception centres for migrants in Greece and other countries on the EU's external borders.

A trust spokesman said: "This is due mostly to patients that need to be admitted to our wards from A&E, however, due to delayed discharges and lack of bed availability, we are having to keep those patients in A&E." Another appeal was made in March. People who are not suffering serious illnesses or injuries are advised to dial the NHS advice line on 111, a pharmacist, Primary Care Assessment Centre, or GP.

The 93 licences to explore 159 blocks of land could pave the way for more controversial hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Parts of the Yorkshire, the Midlands, and the North West have been opened for exploration. There are also licence blocks in the South of England and Wales. Around 75% of the exploration licences relate to "unconventional" shale oil and gas, which typically requires fracking. Today's licences give rights to companies to explore for shale oil and gas, but do not give automatic permission to drill. Planning permission to build rigs and drill land needs clearance from local or central authorities. Earlier this year, councillors in Lancashire rejected shale gas firm Cuadrilla's application to drill a handful of shale gas exploratory wells. There would be too much noise and the impact on the landscape would be too great, they said. But the final decision will be made by central government.

Summary: The Oil and Gas Authority has awarded a raft of new licences to explore for oil and gas on the mainland of the UK.

Well spare a thought for Mpumalanga batter Shania-Lee Swart, who was the only player to score a run as she hit 160 from 86 balls in a 42-run victory over Easterns during Cricket South Africa's Under-19s week in Pretoria on Monday. Swart's remarkable innings included 18 fours and 12 sixes. Eight of her team-mates came and went for a grand total of no runs as her side racked up 169-8 in 20 overs.

Lesley Griffiths was speaking ahead of the launch in Wrexham of new plans to tackle the problem. Boosting incomes for poor workers and helping families manage household budgets will be two new objectives. Ms Griffiths had told AMs in January it was "50/50" whether the 2020 target would be kept because the work involved was "increasingly complex". On Friday, she said: "Although levels of poverty in Wales remain stubbornly high, important progress in key areas has been made." There had been a fall in the number of children living in workless households, and the number of 16-18 year olds not in employment, education or training (NEET), she said.

Summary: Ending child poverty in Wales by 2020 is still a "key priority", the minister responsible has said.

The world-famous locomotive Flying Scotsman was joined by an HST and InterCity 225 from Virgin Trains' fleet, and one of its new Azuma trains. They lined up on the East Coast Main Line at Tollerton, North Yorkshire, at 06:00 BST before travelling to York. Hundreds of people lined the route to witness the unique event.

Home-owners borrowed a total of Â£22bn in the month, the highest amount since July 2008. The CML said total mortgage lending for the year was likely to hit Â£209bn, which would mean a 3% increase on 2014. It also said it expected lending to pick up in the second half of the year, following "subdued activity" earlier. "We expect lending activity in the rest of the year to be underpinned by improving economic fundamentals, but kept in check as any upward pressure on house prices further stretches affordability for some buyers," said CML economist Mohammed Jamei. The total amount of money lent naturally gets bigger as house prices rise, and home-owners need to borrow more.

Summary: Mortgage lending across the UK in July was at its highest level for seven years, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML).


Gwynedd council's cabinet says £54,000 could be saved by shutting the Pont yr Aber footbridge crossing the estuary in Caernarfon. Residents would face a diversion of almost 2 miles (2.7km). The council said closure is just one option and transferring swing bridge operations is also under discussion. The bridge links the historic castle side of the Seiont estuary and harbour with the Aber foreshore and St Helen's park and leisure facilities. It also provides a link to nearby caravan parks, with tourists attracted by the neighbouring castle. The council said it will be consulting on its planned cuts in the coming months before any decision is taken in 2016. An earlier proposal to close the Barmouth bridge over the Mawddach estuary to walkers has attracted a petition signed by over 20,000 people.

Summary: Hundreds of people have lined a swing bridge threatened with closure as a north Wales council tries to plug a £33m funding gap.

The drilling modules have been built by Hyundai Heavy Industries for the oil company BP. The parts, along with others already being transported by sea to the field, are due to arrive off Shetland in May. A floating crane will be used to lift the modules onto two new platforms already at the field. It will then take a workforce of about 750 people to install and commission them. Once that work has been completed, the two platforms are expected to begin drilling operations. The oil will be piped ashore at Sullom Voe in Shetland for treatment and distribution by tanker. The first oil is expected to start flowing by the end of next year. The Clair Ridge development is expected to produce about 640 million barrels of crude over the following 40 years.
