Mr Ewing said he agreed with the outcome of a public local inquiry into the Infinergy's proposal. Highland councillors unanimously agreed in 2013 to lodge an objection to the project. The move, by members of Highland Council's north planning applications committee, triggered the inquiry. Landscape conservation charity, the John Muir Trust, has welcomed the government's decision. It said the wind farm would have been constructed close to an area of wild land. Helen McDade, head of policy for the trust said: "As someone who grew up in Caithness, I am delighted for the local community which campaigned strongly to prevent the unique character of this landscape."

Summary: Energy Minister Fergus Ewing has refused to give consent for a 24-turbine wind farm near Reay in Caithness.


Fighting first broke out in December 2013, when President Salva Kiir accused his former deputy Riek Machar of attempting a coup, which he denies. The UN's aid chief in South Sudan, Toby Lanzer, said the conflict had now resumed in the oil-rich Unity state. Areas around the regional capital, Bentiu, were worst-hit, he said. Mr Lanzer added that the fighting was taking place at the peak of planting season, when people need to move around the region to help make a living. Mr Kiir and Mr Machar signed a ceasefire deal in January this year, but violence has continued in parts of the country. The UN estimated 10,000 people have been killed and another 1.5 million displaced since the conflict began. Mr Kiir's term as president ends in July, four years after South Sudan gained independence to become the world's newest country.

Summary: Close to 100,000 people have been displaced by renewed fighting in South Sudan in the last week, the United Nations has warned.


The Northern Ireland venue replaces existing number one New Jersey's Pine Valley, which drops to third, with Augusta National ranked second. Cypress Point in California, Royal Dornoch in Scotland and Royal Melbourne in Australia complete the top six. St Andrews and Muirfield are ranked seventh and eighth with Portmarnock and Royal Portrush in 25th and 27th spots. Lahinch, in 65th position, is the only other Irish course in the Golf Digest top 100. Royal County Down moves up from fourth position in last year's list and it's likely that the profile generated by its staging of the Irish Open last May played a role in its ascent to the number one spot. Over 1,800 golf course evaluation panellists took part in the poll.

Summary: Royal County Down has been voted the world's top golf course in the annual rankings of US magazine Golf Digest.

The MetroWest Phase 1 project includes the reopening of the Bristol-to-Portishead line to passenger train services, by early 2019. An study found it would initially be cost-prohibitive to build the station, but it would feature in later plans. The project team said the scheme was on hold until funding is in place. The plans have been drawn up by the Joint Transport Board for the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership. Vice chairman Mark Bradshaw stressed that there was still a "commitment" to build a new station at Ashton Gate. He said: "All rail schemes really must have strong business case backing and clearly more work is needed to shape the special case for Ashton Gate." Network Rail confirmed the plans would be flexible to enable a new station to be developed when the funding and business case allow.

Chiswick Bridge, in west London, disappeared over the weekend, although other bridges nearby did not. During the fault, drivers were sent on long diversions over neighbouring Kew Bridge, despite the "missing" bridge still being in use. The error was fixed on Monday - two days after its absence was noted. Google has declined to comment. BBC Travel reporter Rob Oxley first noticed the bridge had disappeared on Saturday after he was contacted about roadworks which had closed the bridge on previous weekends. "I went to check something on the map when I noticed that it had vanished," he said. "I'd already looked at the CCTV camera to check for roadworks so could see the bridge was still there." "It actually could have sent anyone who relied on Google Maps for directions on a long diversion, as their route planning software was also ignoring the bridge."

Summary: Drivers were sent on a five-mile detour when a bridge temporarily "vanished" from Google Maps.

In recent years violence has abated from its peak in the 1990s, but the causes of the insurgency are still far from resolved. A ceasefire agreed in 2003 remains in place, but the nuclear-armed neighbours often accuse each other of violating it. In 2014 there was an escalation in hostilities along the disputed border , with some of the worst violence in a decade. Both sides accuse each other of initiating the clashes.

Summary: Two people have died in "unprovoked" firing from the Indian military in the disputed Kashmir region, says Pakistan.

She was due to go up against fellow Britons Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Morgan Lake, who are looking to achieve the Olympic qualifying standard. Ennis-Hill has already secured her place in Rio.

The 20-year-old has started four of the Dons' last five games. Manager Derek McInnes told the club website: "We've always been aware of Craig's ability and he's really taken his chance in recent weeks when asked. "He loves it here at Pittodrie and it wasn't a hard decision for him to agree to stay on for a further two years." McInnes handed Storie his debut three years ago, but injury hampered the progress of the midfielder, who had loan spells with Forfar Athletic and Brechin City in League One. The Scotland youth international, who had signed his previous contract in May, came on as a substitute against Ross County at Pittodrie in November and has since made five more appearances. "I'm sure he'll have a big part to play for Aberdeen in the coming years," McInnes added.

The European Space Agency's Rosetta mission dropped the robot onto Comet 67P in November 2014. Scientists tried to land the robot several times but there were problems landing. When it finally settled, its exact location wasn't clear but images and data suggested it was sitting at an awkward angle, in the shade. This meant that the robot, which is powered by solar energy, was unable to charge properly. The lander did send back some information but the last contact was in July 2015. The comet is now travelling into a much colder part of space, with temperatures below -180C. Philae was never designed to operate at these temperatures so the chances of getting any more data are slim. Scientists are now focussing on landing the Rosetta space craft on Comet 67P in September.

Summary: Scientists have decided to give up trying to contact the comet lander Philae after lots of attempts without success.

The newspaper says traces of a banned anabolic steroid were allegedly found in a sample given by Fury last year. The boxer's promoter, Hennessy Sports, says it is "baffled" by the story. Undefeated Fury, 27, this week postponed his rematch with Wladimir Klitschko after injuring an ankle during training.

Police said the detonators could be "dangerous in untrained hands". "Only two years ago a teenager from Essex sadly lost his sight after a detonator accident, so I can't emphasise the dangers enough," said PC Carl Jones, of North Wales Police. "We are obviously concerned for the safety of the individuals who have the detonators, regardless of their age, and I would urge anyone who has information that could help us with our enquiries to contact us as soon as possible."

Summary: Police have issued a warning after railway detonators found in woodland went missing before they could be handed over to officers.


From allegations of keeping its currency artificially low to boost exports to the labelling of some of its firms as a security threat, China's growth has put the relationship between the world's two biggest economies to the test. And with both President Barack Obama and his challenger Mitt Romney promising to put further pressure on China, the tests are only likely to get tougher. Add to the mix the fact that China is also set for a once-in-a-decade leadership change over the next few days. Its new leaders will be keen to stamp their authority not just on the domestic front, but also on the global stage. This could potentially see both sides taking hardline stands on a range of trade issues which have been the focus of debate between them in recent times:

Summary: No other country's economic rise has been debated as ferociously or caused as much concern in the US, as that of China.

He helped his club beat Fenerbahce to last season's Turkish Super Lig title. The 24-year-old said Bilic was "a big factor" in his move to the Olympic Stadium, adding: "He's the best manager I have played under."

The 25-year-old ended a 735-day goal drought with a low, curling right-footed strike against the Shakers. "I play too much Fifa, I tried to put the finesse on it and it worked, so I'll try it again next game," Ranger told BBC Essex. He then added his second and his side's third in a 4-1 League One victory. The former Newcastle, Swindon and Blackpool striker joined the Shrimpers in the summer, but has been restricted to just six appearances because of injury. Having not scored since 8 November, 2014, Ranger helped Phil Brown's side stretch their unbeaten run to five matches. "From the first goal I was buzzing so I thought 'you know what, let me try to get a second one'. That was the first brace of my career," said Ranger. "I don't really get goals like [his second]. That's my first left-footed goal as well."

Summary: Southend United striker Nile Ranger said his first goal against Bury on Saturday was inspired by the "finesse" shot on the Fifa video game.

A US judge ordered Australian Amanda Hayward to set aside $10.7m (Â£6.9m) for Jennifer Pedroza, a Texas resident. The pair were partners in a small online publishing firm that initially issued the blockbuster erotic trilogy. A jury decided in February that Ms Pedroza had been conned when the rights were sold to Random House. It found that Ms Hayward, who signed the deal on behalf of their firm The Writers Coffee Shop, tricked Ms Pedroza into signing a restructuring contract that cut her out of royalties rights. The judge said an exact amount of the settlement would be worked out once the two sides had reached agreement. The Fifty Shades trilogy, by EL James, has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide, and a recent film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey netted more than $570m (Â£368m) at global box offices.

An amateur photographer spotted the mammal, thought to be extinct, in early July, and passed photos to the Shropshire Wildlife Trust. There have been numerous reports in the county, but trust mammal expert Stuart Edmunds was able to verify the image. "There is now a possibility that they may have been living here right under our noses for a long time," he said. Pine martens are nocturnal, house cat-sized members of the stoat and weasel family. There is a healthy population of at least 4,000 pine martens in Scotland, and small numbers live around Snowdonia, in Wales. The wildlife trust believes the Shropshire marten had moved across from Wales.

Summary: The first confirmed sighting of a wild pine marten in England for over a century has been recorded.


The drug was discovered in an internal wall of the animal carrier at Harwich International Port last week, the Border Force said. A 32-year-old Hungarian man and two women from Germany, aged 42 and 50, have been arrested and bailed pending further inquiries. The Border Force said two horses were being cared for by a local charity. The drugs were discovered after a scan revealed an "anomaly" in one of the walls in the horsebox. Phillip Holliday, Border Force regional director, said: "Although this was an unusual and well-hidden concealment, the vigilance and expertise of Border Force officers has foiled an attempt to smuggle a large amount of class A drugs, with an estimated street value in excess of £3m, into the country."

Summary: Cocaine with an estimated street value of £3m has been found hidden in a horsebox.

Germany coach Joachim Loew said Schweinsteiger's medial ligament injury did not "look very positive" and the 31-year-old may have suffered a tear. "I am not able to give an exact timescale as to how long he will be out," Loew added. Schweinsteiger will definitely also miss Tuesday's friendly against Italy. He will have a scan on the joint in Munich to assess if it is a repeat of the tear he suffered in Manchester United's FA Cup third-round win over Sheffield United in January. That injury sidelined the former Bayern Munich player for two months. He made his return in United's 2-0 Europa League defeat at Liverpool on 10 March. Manchester United are a point and two places off the Premier League's top four with eight matches remaining. They also have an FA Cup quarter-final replay against West Ham on April 13.

Summary: Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger will miss Germany's friendly against England on Saturday after injuring his knee.

The Welsh government signed a deal with BT in 2012, backed with Â£205m of public money, to provide broadband to 700,000 homes and businesses where there was no planned commercial rollout. Auditor General for Wales, Huw Vaughan Thomas, wants the Welsh government to do more to tell people about it. The Welsh government expect the rollout to be complete by the end of 2016. The report by Mr Thomas said broadband access was available to just over half of the target number by the end of 2014, but many difficult-to-connect places remain. It also noted initial weaknesses in the programme and project management by the Welsh government, but said there are now "clear and appropriate arrangements in place".

Summary: The rollout of superfast broadband across Wales is making "reasonable progress", the auditor general said.

Officially, HM Revenue and Customs would only confirm that an operation is ongoing in the Newry area. However, BBC News NI has been told that the operation began on Wednesday and centred on a property just outside Newry. It is believed the property was searched on a previous occasion without anything untoward being found. This time, however, HMRC investigators brought with them specialist metal-detecting equipment. It is understood that two underground pipes were discovered apparently leading under a field to what the authorities believe is an illegal laundering plant. Some 18,000 litres of suspected illicit fuel are believed to have been recovered. This is the second suspected plant to be discovered in days, with one having been recovered in Cullyhanna earlier this week.

Summary: Two men have been arrested during a large-scale operation against suspected fuel laundering in South Armagh.


Wenger's side face Southampton in the Premier League on Wednesday and a win would lift them into fifth. The Frenchman, whose contract expires at the end of this season, has been criticised by some fans this term. Lauren, 40, told BBC Africa: "He knows how to deal with pressure, hopefully things will be in the right way sooner or later."

The former Cameroon right-back said: "I don't think he will resign. He's been under pressure for 30-35 years, managing big clubs with big pressure." In February Wenger said he would decide on a new contract in March or April, but later said that he made a mistake in giving that timeframe.

Summary: Pressure will not force Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to resign, says former Gunners defender Lauren.


During the month, 61,760 mortgages were approved - just over a thousand more than in January. It was the third month in a row that approvals have risen, and the highest figure since August 2014. Even though the rise was small, economists said it indicated that the housing market had bottomed out, and was now facing a steady improvement. Nevertheless the number of approvals is still well below the recent peak of 75,453 in January 2014. "Housing market weakness has bottomed out, and activity is now gradually turning around," said Howard Archer, chief UK economist with IHS Global Insight. Last week the Nationwide reported that annual house price inflation had fallen from 5.7% in February to 5.1% in March.

Summary: The number of mortgages being granted across the UK hit a six-month high in February, Bank of England data shows.

It is understood the complaint is that Fermanagh politician Tom Elliott announced his candidacy too early. He said he would stand for the post in June, but party leader Sir Reg Empey only officially announced his resignation last week.

Wada said they had reached the decision after "careful review" of the footage. It was claimed a top British athlete escaped investigation after athletics' governing body, the IAAF, chose not to look at 150 suspicious blood samples.

The Scottish Public Services Ombudsman has also told the health board to improve training for staff. The ombudsman upheld the complaint on behalf of a mother who complained about the monitoring of her baby daughter. The infant had had hydrocephalus, a condition which sees an abnormal build-up of fluid on the brain. An independent expert said there were failures in recording and interpreting the baby girl's head circumference, resulting in missed opportunities to record her steep growth rate and refer her for further investigation. The ombudsman recommended that NHS Grampian provide training to staff on the guidance in place for monitoring, recording and analysing growth measurements, and put in place better clinical supervision and support for health visitors.
