The baby spotted seahorses, which measure less than a centimetre in length, have started life at Tynemouth's Blue Reef Aquarium. Usually found throughout south east Asia, Australia, Japan and Hawaii, the new arrivals are part of an ongoing captive breeding programme. A spokesman for the aquarium said their birth was "very important" in easing the pressures on wild populations. The seahorses, which are listed as vulnerable in the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species, will eventually grow up to 20cm (8ins) in height. In the wild, the majority of species of seahorse are now under threat. Displays supervisor Terry McKeone said: "The babies are doing extremely well and it's more than likely there will be more born over the coming days. "Although tiny, the newborns are exact miniature replicas of their parents and are already learning and mimicking the adults' behaviour."

Summary: Dozens of rare seahorses have been born in captivity in Tyneside.

The court told AFP it had rejected the 32-year-old Real Madrid forward's appeal after he was sent off in the 3-1 win against Barcelona in the Super Cup. He got a one-match ban for two yellow cards and a further four for pushing the referee after he had been sent off. "From injustice to injustice, they will never bring me down," he posted. The two bookings at the Nou Camp were for taking off his shirt to celebrate his goal to make it 2-1, and for a dive. Ronaldo has already served two games of his ban - last week's second leg, which Real won 2-0, and Sunday's 3-0 La Liga win against Deportivo La Coruna. The Portugal forward will not return to domestic action until 20 September against Real Betis, but can play in the Champions League.

Summary: Cristiano Ronaldo says a decision by Spain's administrative sports court to uphold his five-game ban for pushing a referee is "incomprehensible".

The computers normally sell for up to 50,000 pesos (£1,990; $2,500). But because of an apparent software malfunction, only the shipping costs - 679 pesos - were included in an advert published earlier this month. When the US company realised the mistake, cancelled the sales and offered refunds, buyers complained. Some created a Facebook group inviting other buyers to refer the case to Mexico's federal consumer protection agency Profeco. Profeco agreed to consider the complaint and said on Thursday: "Dell will have to deliver the equipment offered to customers who received an email confirming the sale before the ad was withdrawn." The agency also urged the company "to improve its customer service mechanisms". Dell later acknowledged it had made a mistake and said it was "working with the relevant authorities" to rectify it. It is not clear how many computers were sold before the ad was taken down.

Summary: Mexican officials have ordered Dell Computers to honour the sale of laptops that had been mistakenly advertised online for just 679 pesos (£27; $33).

The Championship club have had three bids for the 22-year-old Gills midfielder rejected. And Edinburgh told BBC Radio Kent: "I spoke to Bradley and he made it quite clear he didn't feel that Bristol was the right move for him at this present time, which I was delighted with. "He just wants to have success here with Gillingham right now."

Gillingham, currently third in League One, were reportedly offered £1m for Dack, who has scored 13 goals this season. But Edinburgh is convinced the former Charlton youngster is worth substantially more than that figure. "Our valuation is a long way off that," he said. "With 13 goals and 12 assists, I don't think there's a more valuable player in the league."

Summary: Gillingham manager Justin Edinburgh has insisted that Bradley Dack has no interest in joining Bristol City.

Conygar wants to develop land at Cross Hands West with a variety of shops, a food store, pub, restaurant and 521-space car park. But its application has been deferred twice this year by Carmarthenshire council's planning committee. Conygar said the retail park will create 260 full-time jobs and more than 100 jobs during construction.

The force made the decision after a survey found the "overwhelming majority" of staff wanted to do away with the helmets. The "custodian" will still be worn on ceremonial occasions, like funerals and Remembrance Day parades. West Yorkshire is the second force to make the change after Thames Valley did so five years ago. Supt Keith Gilert said peaked caps had become "more appropriate" and "more in keeping" than traditional helmets. First used by the Metropolitan Police in 1863, the "custodian" helmet was based on the spiked Pickelhaube worn by the Prussian army. Nick Smart, chairman of the West Yorkshire Police Federation, welcomed the change in headwear. "Helmets fall off heads, they're cumbersome and a lot of the time they weren't getting used," he said. "Officers in cars would chuck them on the back seat and not put them on to deal with an incident."

Summary: West Yorkshire Police is getting rid of the traditional police helmet in favour of peaked caps.

But she added: "It is unacceptable that this group are posing as underage girls and meeting up with men with the view to either blackmailing them or attacking them in the street."

Those living in the country could also face jail, and foreigners deportation. The new law was brought to light when the UAE's supreme court ordered the retrial of a man fined $800 for the offence, arguing the fine was too lenient. The man was convicted of swearing at a colleague using the smartphone instant messaging app. The exact words used by the defendant were not revealed by the court, which simply said that they were "insulting", according to 7Days UAE.

Northfield UK Solar's subsidiary company RAF Desb plans to install the panels on a 276 acre (112 hectare) site at RAF Desborough. The firm aims to generate electricity for about 15,000 homes per year. The planning application has been submitted to Kettering Council, with a decision expected by the end of July. The scheme also includes a number of buildings involved in the production of electricity and deer fencing to restrict access and "protect the scheme from theft and vandalism". RAF Desborough was an airbase between 1943 and 1953. The agent for the developers, Peter Brett Associates, said in a report to the council that the UK is committed to providing 15% of its energy from renewable source by 2020 and this solar farm would make an "important contribution".

Summary: Plans to turn a former World War Two airfield in Northamptonshire into a solar farm with hundreds of solar panels have been submitted.

Corney added: "It's quite common in football and there are probably quite a lot of clubs in the same situation as us. "The debts will be paid. There's no two ways about it. They always do get paid, we have to pay them." Interim chief executive Mark Moisley said Oldham hope to have the embargo lifted for when the January transfer window opens.

The 26-year-old Red Bull Salzburg player has been ruled out of the trip to Cardiff with a broken foot. Damari has five goals in this campaign, making him joint top scorer in the section with Wales' Gareth Bale and Bosnia-Hercegovina striker Edin Dzeko. Israel are third in Group B on nine points, five adrift of leaders Wales and two behind second placed Belgium. Wales face Israel at home three days after playing away to Cyprus.

The team, based at Leafield, went into administration with the loss of 200 jobs last October following financial problems. Their former 28-acre site includes 150,000 sq ft (13,900 sq m) of buildings, offices and a racing car testing facility. Bids in excess of £5.5m are being sought for the site. Agent Jonjo Lyles, of BNP Paribas Real Estate, said he was confident the facility, which "lends itself to a number of different uses", would be of interest to many people. Caterham Sports Limited built cars for the Caterham Formula 1 team which was operated by 1 Malaysia Racing Team (1MRT). Last October administrator Finbarr O'Connell said up to £20m was owed to external suppliers. Weeks before the company was put into administration, bailiffs visited the Leafield site and seized items, including a 2013 F1 test car.

Summary: The former Oxfordshire headquarters of the collapsed Caterham Formula 1 team is to be sold.


The 32-year-old, one of nine men in the Trek-Segafredo team that includes 2009 Tour winner Alberto Contador, tested positive for erythropoietin (EPO). Cardoso's sample was taken at an out-of-competition test on 18 June, said the International Cycling Union (UCI). Spanish rider Haimar Zubeldia will take Cardoso's place in the team. EPO boosts the production of red blood cells, which speeds up the delivery of oxygen to muscles. A Trek-Segafredo statement read: "It is with deep disappointment that we have just learned that our rider, Andre Cardoso, has tested positive for a prohibited substance. "In accordance with our zero-tolerance policy, he has been suspended immediately. "We hold our riders and staff to the highest ethical standards and will act and communicate accordingly as more details become available." Cardoso has completed seven Grand Tours but never raced in the Tour de France, which runs from 1-23 July.

Summary: Portuguese cyclist Andre Cardoso has been suspended by his team for a failed drugs test, four days before the start of the Tour de France.


They changed the lyrics of hit Cradle to the Grave to sing the line: "There are some here who are hell bent on the destruction of the welfare state." Mr Cameron had been interviewed on the show and was watching the band's closing performance. The band later tweeted about its "third verse message" for the PM. Squeeze, formed in South London in 1974, reached the peak of their popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s with songs including "Cool for Cats", "Up the Junction" and "Tempted".

Eileen Swannack, 70, and partner John Welch, 74, both from Wiltshire, have not made contact since the shootings at the resort near Sousse on Friday. Police said relatives of Ms Swannack and Mr Welch, of Corsham, were getting family liaison officer support. It is feared up to 30 UK citizens were killed, but only 18 are confirmed dead. Speaking to the BBC on Saturday, Mr Welch's grandson Daniel Welch said: "You know that we're going to get some sort of news at some point, whether it be today, tomorrow or the next day, and you know it's probably not going to be great, because they haven't been able to make contact themselves by now." Tunisian authorities have arrested several people on suspicion of helping the gunman, who had links to the jihadist group Islamic State (IS).

Summary: A British couple who are still officially classed as missing following the Tunisian beach attack are among the dead, the BBC understands.


Customers have put in no fewer than 23,700 claims for property damage, after Storm Desmond caused torrential rain in parts of the region. The Association of British Insurers (ABI) said the storm was on a scale which it expects to see every year. Over 4,000 affected businesses have put in claims for damage. The ABI said that so far, insurance companies had already paid out £1.7m to residential customers and £900,000 to commercial customers. The £520m expected bill makes the storm much more serious than the floods in Cumbria in 2009, which caused £200m of damage. However, the floods in Somerset and the Thames Valley two years ago cost insurers £1.3bn. And the summer floods in South Yorkshire and Tewkesbury in 2007 cost more than £3bn.

Summary: The insurance bill for the floods in Cumbria and the North earlier this month is likely to hit £520m, the industry has said.


The American, 27, plans to be ringside next Friday when Burns meets WBA super-lightweight challenger Relikh. "We were pretty much there in terms of the deal to fight Broner," said Hearn. "But because of issues out of the ring we all decided to fight Relikh and try and clear the mandatory before securing the fight against Broner in December." Broner is a former four-time world champion and was last in action in April when he stopped Londoner Ashley Theophane in Washington, taking his record to 32 wins from 35 fights. "Adrien contacted me this week and said he is coming to Glasgow on 7 October to watch the fight," added Hearn. "If Ricky defeats Relikh I expect that fight to get made without any problems."

Summary: Ricky Burns will take on Adrien Broner in Glasgow in December if he defends his world title against Kiryl Relikh, says promoter Eddie Hearn.


They were found after police at a checkpoint in the southern state of Tabasco heard calls for help coming from the vehicle and the sound of crying children. Many of the migrants, who included 55 minors, were badly dehydrated. Most had come from Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador or Ecuador. The migrants had paid up to $5,000 (£4,080) to be driven through Mexico to the US border. The lorry driver was arrested, the authorities say. In recent years, people smugglers have increasingly begun using lorries to transport migrants through Mexico. Every year, tens of thousands of people enter Mexico illegally with the aim of reaching the US. The journey is extremely dangerous. In the first nine months of 2016, Mexico and the US deported more than 55,000 people from Honduras alone.

Summary: The Mexican authorities say they have stopped a lorry carrying 121 Central American migrants, who were trying to reach the US illegally.


Lymphoedema, a painful swelling mainly of the legs and arms, affects 54 children in Wales who have to travel to Liverpool or London for treatment. Health Minister Mark Drakeford said Wales would appoint the UK's first paediatric specialist in the condition. He said it had "a significant impact" on a person's quality of life and ability to carry out normal activities. "The new Welsh specialist post I'm announcing today - the first of its kind in the UK - will improve the services on offer to Welsh children, allowing them to be treated closer to their home," Mr Drakeford added. Melanie Thomas, lymphoedema clinical lead for the NHS in Wales, said she was "delighted" that children would be offered the same service as adults. "This unique post will make a significant improvement to the current care and support offered to children and their families," she said.

Summary: Children in Wales with a rare chronic illness will soon receive treatment closer to home.

Only the eight group winners and six best runners-up are guaranteed automatic qualification to the 2017 tournament in the Netherlands. The other two group runners-up will play-off for the final qualification spot.

Summary: Kayleigh Green and Helen Ward both scored twice as Wales women beat Kazakhstan 4-0 to keep alive their Euro 2017 qualification hopes.


The trenches at Bodelwyddan Castle were used by soldiers based at a former nearby camp during their basic training. They have filled in over time although their zigzag outlines can still be seen. Councillors approved the plans at a committee meeting on Wednesday. A planning report said the development would provide "tourism and history benefits". During the war, an Army camp housing approximately 20,000 recruits was built at Kinmel Park, near Rhyl, for basic training. The Army requisitioned large areas of the Bodelwyddan estate and, while the castle was used as a convalescence hospital for wounded officers, a trench warfare training area was built within the grounds. The trenches have similar structures to those found in Belgium and France.

Summary: Plans to create replica trenches alongside original ones where soldiers trained during World War One have been approved by Denbighshire council.


The 22-year-old has pulled out of what was set to be her first WTA Tour event of the season in Monterrey next week. Robson played in eight events last season after returning from a 17-month lay-off, but had to end her season early after suffering a relapse. Now ranked 553 in the world, Robson began her latest comeback in two low-key events last month. She chose not to use her protected ranking of 58 to gain direct entry into January's Australian Open and has targeted the French Open in May as a possible Grand Slam return. Robson is still hoping to play at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells next month, one of the biggest tournaments on the WTA Tour.

Summary: Former British number one Laura Robson's comeback from a wrist injury has stalled again.


Ghana dominated the game in Tamale and crated enough chances to feel they should have won. Uganda's goalkeeper Denis Onyango, who plays for South African side Mamelodi Sundowns, had an outstanding game. There was some confusion over whether Uganda's Nicholas Wadada had been booked twice and not sent off but Fifa confirmed he had been booked only once. Ghana played without the injured duo of Andre 'Dede' Ayew and Kwadwo Asamoah but did welcome back veteran striker Asamoah Gyan, who was unable to inspire his side to a win. The two sides also met in qualifying for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations with Uganda earning a 1-1 draw in Ghana on that occasion too before winning 1-0 at home in Kampala. The other two teams in Group E are Congo and Egypt and they meet in Brazzaville on Sunday.

Summary: Uganda held firm for a 0-0 draw in Ghana in the opening game of Group E in 2018 World Cup qualifying on Friday.

George Jones put Cornwall ahead from a driving maul and Matt Shepherd kicked a penalty to earn an 8-0 half-time lead. Ten minutes after the break, Anthony Bingham ran from the halfway line to go over and give Lancashire a lifeline. Tom Burtonwood and Scott Armstrong crossed shortly afterwards to secure Lancashire the title. Victory meant they have been champions in six of the past nine years, while Cornwall have now been beaten by their opponents in three finals since 2013. It also denied Cornwall head coach Graham Dawe, a former England international, a third successive County Championship triumph after wins over Cheshire and Lancashire in the past two competitions.

Summary: Lancashire came from behind to score 19 unanswered second-half points and beat Cornwall in the County Championship final at Twickenham.

Summary: Former British and Irish Lions scrum-half and England captain Dickie Jeeps has died at the age of 84.


The animals were hit when their herd was crossing railway tracks in the Rambha forest area, a railway spokesman, RN Mohapatra, said. The state's wildlife department said its warning asking trains to slow down because elephants were moving in the area was ignored. Nearly 300 elephants have been killed in Orissa in the past five years. Most of the deaths have been blamed on accidental electrocutions, poaching, poisoning by farmers to prevent them from damaging crops and being run over by trains. The state government recently set up a committee to monitor elephant deaths. While elephants are worshipped by many in India, shrinking habitat has led to increased conflict with people and the deaths of many of the protected animals. There are around 26,000 wild elephants in India, where it is a heritage animal.

Summary: Five elephants have been killed after being hit by a passenger train in the eastern Indian state of Orissa.

Rob Girard, island director of NatWest Guernsey, said it was a "difficult decision", but the branch would close on 27 February 2015. The company is working with Guernsey Post to run counter services at the Sark Post Office to allow cash and cheque deposits and cash withdrawals. HSBC, which runs the other bank, said there were currently no plans to close its branch. Mr Girard said the closure meant there was "one role at risk of redundancy". He said the move followed "significant" changes in banking in the past few years. "The number of customers using the branch has dropped by nearly 30% over the last four years whilst online and mobile transactions have grown by more than 200%," Mr Girard said. "We have advised staff and we are notifying our customers to make them aware of the closure and the different ways they can still bank with us."

Summary: One of Sark's two banks will close next year, NatWest has announced.


Russian adventurer Fedor Konyukhov, 64, has committed to the trip in 2016 and signed-up Cameron Balloons in Bristol to design and build his equipment. His attempt will begin in Northam, Australia, at some point next summer. In 2002, American businessman Steve Fossett achieved the feat in just under 15 days, but Mr Konyukhov wants to beat the record by two days. The design and build for Mr Konyukhov will be similar to that used by Mr Fossett, but with more modern materials and technology. The gondola itself will be designed to carry the balloon's control systems, oxygen supplies, flight communication and navigational instruments. It will also house a sleeping bunk, water supplies, food rations, life-saving emergency equipment, first aid supplies and clothing.

Summary: Construction of a helium balloon to challenge the record for a non-stop flight around the world has begun.

Sakho suffered the injury against West Brom on Sunday and an examination has confirmed the extent of the problem. The 25-year-old Senegal international, who has scored five goals in 14 appearances this season, will undergo surgery on Saturday. Either Andy Carroll or Nikica Jelevic could deputise at Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday. Hammers manager Slaven Bilic described the loss of Sakho as a "big blow". West Ham are already without midfielder Dimitri Payet, who has been ruled out until February with an ankle injury, while striker Enner Valencia is also sidelined by an ankle problem. "We are not bad in terms of quantity of injuries, but unfortunately they have happened to key players," Bilic added.

But for ordinary drivers, roads are usually like this... ...and it gets worse during monsoon rains. So when US Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in Delhi for bilateral talks on Monday evening, monsoon rains decided to not care about his VIP status. Instead of driving smoothly on empty roads, Mr Kerry's motorcade was reportedly stuck in traffic for more than an hour. It was highly unusual because VIPs are usually given privileges like clear passage on empty roads and no waiting in queues. And social media quickly started to have some fun at the cost of Mr Kerry's traffic nightmare.

Summary: When VIPs visit Delhi, they expect roads to be empty like this.
