So dolphins have developed elaborate behaviours to turn larger prey into more bite-size pieces, according to marine biologists in Australia. The researchers filmed dolphins shaking octopuses and tossing them through air in preparation for consumption. The findings, compiling years of observations, have been described in the journal Marine Mammal Science. "Everyone relates it to seafood preparation," lead author Dr Kate Sprogis told the BBC. "They've got skills to prepare their meal." The authors said the technique is one way dolphins have managed to thrive in waters around Australia. "They bite off the head first then they shake and toss the rest of the body," Dr Sprogis said. "They have to do this because they are such large octopus they can't just swallow them in one piece." The technique also prevents octopus tentacles from latching on to dolphins, she said. The study involved researchers from Murdoch University and Monash University.

Summary: Octopuses can be a perfect meal for dolphins, but they can also pose a deadly choking hazard.

The central section of the memorial in Royal Square in Woodhall Spa began to crumble earlier this month. East Lindsey District Council said it had now been repaired ready for a ceremony to mark the anniversary of the Dambusters raids over the weekend.

Gladwin's left-footed strike opened the scoring, before Michael Smith fired home to double the Robins' advantage. Gladwin turned in Jonathan Obika's flick on, and then powered in his third from the penalty spot shortly after. Ian Henderson's penalty reduced the deficit after Andy Cannon was fouled, but Nathan Thompson's late own-goal was no more than a consolation for Dale. Rochdale are now seven points behind Chesterfield in the final play-off spot, with only four games left to play. Gladwin's hat-trick was completed after he fired home from the penalty spot in emphatic fashion after he was brought down by Rhys Bennett inside the box. Sam Ricketts's foul on Cannon looked to have given Rochdale a route back into the game when the subsequent penalty was converted by Henderson, but Swindon's defence held firm after the break until Thompson turned into his own net deep into stoppage time.

Summary: Ben Gladwin's first-half hat-trick helped Swindon beat Rochdale and secure at least a play-off spot in League One.

The knee-length knickers were one of a number of lots to go the hammer at the sale at Westernhanger Auctioneers near Folkestone in Kent. The auctioneer said the overseas buyer of the "very large" underwear wished to remain anonymous. A pair of silk stockings, also worn by Britain's longest-serving monarch, sold for £1,100.

He said the bloomers were from about 1890. He added: "When Queen Victoria died she gifted a lot of her under-linen to her loyal servants. "These bloomers have been in a Kent family for more than 80 years. "These are some of the most interesting items I have auctioned in my 40-year career."

Summary: A pair of Queen Victoria's silk bloomers with a 52in (132cm) waist have been sold at auction for £6,200.


The structure began to collapse in February after being closed since 2008. Engineers at Conwy council, which owns the pier, say the collapse of the sea end has weakened other sections.

Castle Cary's cylindrical "lock-up" was built in 1779 at a height of 10ft (3m) and width of 7ft (2.1m), according to a plaque on its stone wall. It is one of only six in the country and the only one that can hold wedding ceremonies, the town council said. "Couples looking to inject an element of humour in their special day will revel in the 'dramatic irony' this building provides," it added. The Round House has two iron grills for ventilation and was once used to incarcerate miscreants and drunkards. "The bride and groom are able to make their vows under lock and keyâ€¦ and manacles if necessary!" the town council said. Source: www.gov.uk

The order will give police and the council powers to disperse those involved in drug and alcohol consumption, rough sleeping and other anti-social behaviour. Officials said the issues are having a "detrimental effect" on life. A report said there had been over 300 incidents in the last 12 months such as drink and drugs, fights and harassment. It said vulnerable people would be given welfare help and warnings before any action was taken. But North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Arfon Jones raised concerns during a public consultation that the order may move problems elsewhere and not solve them. Failure to move away from specific parts of town would result in Â£100 fixed penalty fines or prosecution in court. A public consultation on the plan is due to close next week.

Summary: Councillors have approved plans for action to combat anti-social behaviour in Wrexham town centre.

British number one Konta suffered a straight-sets defeat by Zheng Saisai. Konta, ranked 18 in the world, lost 6-4 7-5 to the Chinese, who is 44 places below her in the world rankings. Zheng will now face Hong Kong-born Moore, 23, who beat American world number 67 Christina McHale 6-2 6-2 to reach the quarter-finals.

The little penguins, also known as fairy penguins, grow to be about 30-40 centimetres tall and live by the coast of South Australia and New Zealand. On Middle Island in Australia the colony of little penguins who live there were suffering badly from fox attacks. At one point it got so bad that there were only around 10 penguins left. A local farmer who used specially trained dogs called Maremma, to protect his chickens from the foxes decided to step in to help the penguins. He started walking along the beaches with the dogs. Because the foxes didn't like the smell of the dogs, they stayed away, allowing the penguins to move about freely. As a result, the little penguin population has increased, and the story has even been turned into a film. Footage courtesy of ABC Behind the News (Australia)

Summary: The world's smallest penguins are being protected from foxes by a group of specially trained dogs.

They happen when huge amounts of energy from the sun hit the earth's magnetic fields, pushing electricity to the north and south poles. But Earth isn't the only planet where you can see the Northern and Southern lights. They can be seen on other planets in our solar system too. Space scientists at NASA have been able to confirm that some of our closest neighbouring planets such as Jupiter and Saturn have their own auroras. These auroras are slightly different from Earth's, because their atmospheres and poles are different.

Summary: The Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, are an amazing event in the night sky.

The offer falls short of the Rugby Park club's valuation of the 22-year-old Ivorian, who is Killie's top scorer with 11 goals this season. Zamalek's rivals Al Ahly are also interested in the player but have yet to make a bid. Former Tottenham youth player Coulibaly signed a three-year contract when he joined Kilmarnock in June.

The British Mountaineering Council campaign, Mend Our Mountains, aims to protect key routes from erosion. It has started a crowd funding project to raise £100,000 to maintain paths to some of Britain's main peaks. Snowdonia National Park Authority said the campaign was vital if it was to find enough money to maintain paths following budget cuts. The BMC said a section at the top of the Watkin Path just below the summit of Snowdon was "notoriously eroded". Meanwhile, a path above the Neuadd Reservoir en route to Pen y Fan in the Brecon Beacons can cost up to £170 per metre to repair due to its remote location, according to the British Mountaineering Council. Other paths in the Lake District, Peak District and Yorkshire Dales among others are also included in the project.

Summary: Action is needed to restore popular paths to the summit of Snowdon and in the Brecon Beacons, experts have said.

Inditex, which also owns Pull & Bear and Bershka, said the expansion of Zara Home - its home goods range - was a "particular highlight" of the first quarter.

Summary: Inditex, owner of clothing retailers including Zara and Massimo Dutti, reported a 28% rise in net profit for the first quarter of 2015, after a surge in sales.
