The 24-year-old appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) after the International Olympic Committee ruled any Russian athlete who had been sanctioned for doping would be banned.

Cas has ruled that athletes cannot be banned from Rio on the basis that they have been previously sanctioned.

Summary: Swimmer Yulia Efimova has been added to the 271 Russian athletes already eligible to compete at the Olympics.

Rates are the property taxes paid by households and businesses. Currently, charity shops are exempt but an official consultation has questioned whether that exemption should continue. Robin Osterley, chief executive of the Charity Retail Association, said the imposition of full rates would cost the charity sector up to £5.5m.

Elsewhere in the UK, charities have their rates reduced by 80% leading the consultation to ask if Northern Ireland charities should "pay some rates". The consultation has now closed and no decisions are expected until after the Northern Ireland Assembly election in May.

Summary: A coalition of charities has urged Northern Ireland's finance minister to reject a proposal that charity shops should begin paying rates.

Customs officials became suspicious when they saw that Jamil Akhter had travelled abroad 13 times this year. The $1.5m (Â£1.15m) haul is the largest this year as Bangladesh has emerged as a hub for smuggling gold into India.

A record 1.5 tonnes of gold has been seized at Bangladeshi airports over the past three years, most coming from Gulf countries.

Councillors were told the building, Reynard's Garage on Piccadilly, was in a dangerous state of repair and at risk of collapse. Built as a trolley bus depot in the 1920s, it was leased by Shute, whose investors included aviator Amy Johnson, in 1931 for his Airspeed Ltd factory.

Conservationists say there are only two nesting pairs left in Britain and they have failed to breed. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) says it's the first time the birds have not produced a chick in about 50 years. The charity said they think the fact that the birds prey on grouse has affected their numbers, because landowners protect the grouse on their land - making it difficult for the hen harriers to feed. A study by government scientists suggests illegal shooting, trapping and disturbing nests was also keeping numbers low. The RSPB support a plan to bring in different food sources for the hen harriers, so they don't rely on grouse for food.

Summary: One of the UK's birds of prey - the hen harrier - is at risk of extinction.

The film star and his lawyer wife Amal want to erect the cameras on poles up to 5m (16ft) high in the grounds of their manor house in Sonning Eye, on the Oxfordshire-Berkshire border.

Juan Manuel Alvarez Inzunza, nicknamed "King Midas", was detained while on holiday in the southern state of Oaxaca. Guzman, a former leader of the Sinaloa cartel, is currently awaiting extradition to the United States. He was recaptured in January after breaking out of a high-security prison. Mr Inzunza is suspected of laundering $300m-$400m a year for the Sinaloa cartel through a network of companies and currency exchange centres. A US federal court in Washington had requested Mr Inzunza's arrest and he is likely to be extradited. Guzman himself is also facing extradition to the US on charges of drug trafficking in California, and murder in Texas. Earlier this month, he asked for the extradition process to progress rapidly so he could receive better treatment in prison.

Net profit between April and June was 60bn rupees ($1bn; Â£580m), 14% higher than a year earlier. Revenue rose 7% to 1.1 trillion rupees. The results were better than analysts had expected. Reliance is controlled by India's richest man, Mukesh Ambani. "Reliance Industries has delivered a record level of consolidated net profit this quarter," said Mr Ambani. "The is was achieved despite weak regional refining margins and a planned turnaround in our refinery."

The Eyemouth site will have to shut from 22 to 24 February in order to safely dispose of the asbestos.

Scottish Borders Council has urged the public and businesses to use licensed contractors to remove the material. Councillor David Paterson said: "It is hugely disappointing that someone has acted in such an irresponsible manner by dumping asbestos waste at one of our recycling centres.

The Swiss Federal Court confirmed a Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) ruling last year that upheld his ban. The court said the Cas decision did not "appear to be manifestly excessive". Platini and former Fifa counterpart Sepp Blatter were found guilty in 2015 of ethics breaches over a 2m Swiss Franc (£1.3m) "disloyal payment". Both deny any wrongdoing and said the payment in 2011 was made for consultancy work Platini had carried out for Blatter between 1998 and 2002, and that they had a "gentleman's agreement" on when the balance was settled.

Summary: Switzerland's highest court has rejected former Uefa boss Michel Platini's bid to overturn his four-year ban from football.

The made-to-order mouthguards are also said to contain gold and diamonds. "My career's gone on 19 years and I've been able to preserve my smile," he told TMZ website. The 38-year-old, nicknamed 'Money', is renowned for his ostentatious behaviour and stands to earn £122m from the eagerly-awaited bout on 2 May.

Khan, who won the fight, donated the shorts to help rebuild the Peshawar army school where 141 children and staff were killed by the Taliban.

A winding-up petition has been issued against the club in connection with the installation of a 3G pitch at their Clandeboye Road ground. On Thursday, a judge agreed to a two-week adjournment, but suggested proceedings could be approaching "the end of the line". Bangor's all-weather playing surface has been in use since 2013. It was hoped the pitch would generate additional revenue for a club that was founded in 1918 and who enjoyed Irish Cup success back in 1993. Outstanding debts for work on the project are believed to have led to the court action. Before Thursday's court action, Bangor expressed confidence that a resolution would be reached.

The ship left Kolaka in south-east Sulawesi province and was bound for the port of Siwa across the Gulf of Boni. Most of the survivors were pulled from the water on Sunday having clung to fishing buoys for hours. The last survivor to be rescued was the vessel's captain, who was discovered on Monday snagged on a fishing platform, the head of the local disaster mitigation agency said. Indonesia has more than 17,000 islands linked by ferry services, but correspondents say the industry has a poor safety record.

The winning numbers, announced live on BBC One, were 10, 17, 35, 41, 51 and 54. The bonus number was 25. It is the fifth biggest Lotto jackpot in its history, but it is not yet known if an individual or syndicate has won. The biggest individual prize - of £35.1m - was won in April this year by someone who remains anonymous.

That follows an overhaul of the game, which saw more numbers added and an increase in the amount to which rollovers could build over the weeks. However, the prize money is still dwarfed by that available on the Euromillions, which has seen several British jackpot winners of more than £100m. The Euromillions draw prize money comes from ticket sales in several European countries.
