But the court ordered that the hearing must take place behind closed doors, and he cannot be sentenced if found guilty. His trial is set for January next year. The 89-year-old was found guilty in 2013 of ordering the mass killing of indigenous people in the early 1980s, but the conviction was overturned. The court's decision to proceed with a special retrial came after Gen Rios Montt underwent medical assessment. Doctors have told the court he suffers dementia, and further testing found he lacked the capacity to appear at a public hearing. Instead, will be represented by lawyers. Gen Rios Montt came to power in a 1982 coup, but was himself toppled the following year. He is accused of ordering the massacre of over 1,700 Ixil Maya people, as part of efforts to stamp out support for leftist guerrilla groups.

Volunteers from the Tynemouth Station were called earlier to manoeuvre the Tres Hombres - a Brigantine-type sailing ship - into port, after the motor launch it relies on broke down. With strong winds forecast, there was concern the engineless cargo ship would have been in a precarious situation. It was towed into the River Tyne and moored at North Shields quayside. Adrian Don, from Tynemouth RNLI, said: "This is one of the most unusual services our volunteer crew members have carried out and the casualty vessel is unique as the world's only engineless sailing cargo ship. "The Tres Hombres and her crew were in no immediate danger but having no engine and with her launch broken down, they had no means of safely getting into harbour. "With very poor weather expected her skipper had no alternative but to ask for assistance."

The overcrowded vessel was carrying some 45 people. Police say the boat became unbalanced when too many passengers moved to one side. Nine bodies have been recovered, and 15 people have been rescued, reports say. Boat accidents are fairly common on Lake Albert and in other parts of Africa.

The 21-year-old had recently been on trial with the Championship club and played against them for Cheltenham Town in a pre-season friendly on Monday. The former Austria Under-19 player made one league appearance for Austrian Bundesliga side Ried before joining German champions Bayern in 2014.

But when pressed for an answer on Donald Trump's controversial refugee ban she first of all, uncomfortably, avoided the question. Then on the third time of asking she would only say that on the United States policy on refugees it was for the US. Her refusal to comment was immediately condemned by the former Labour leader, Ed Miliband, who said it was shocking and wrong. The UN has expressed dismay and France and Germany have reported concerns. Downing Street had been delighted with its visit to Washington. But the PM returns to a row over her refusal to give her view. Having boasted that the virtue of the special relationship is that friends can be candid with each other, Theresa May's silence on President Trump's executive order will raise suspicion that in fact, as the junior partner, she is unwilling to speak her mind.

Summary: Before this trip Theresa May promised to be frank with the American president when she disagreed.


Lemos purchased a majority stake in G50 Holdings, the company which holds 82% of Morecambe's shares, in September. He had disputed January's transfer of 99% of G50 shares to tax consultant Graham Burnard, who reportedly claimed Lemos had failed to pay for the share issue which saw him take control.

Rhodes, 26, came on as a substitute to draw Boro level in the 93rd minute of Tuesday's 1-1 draw at MK Dons.

He said the "Welsh family farm" was "at risk" from Tory proposals to change the way people pay for elderly care. But social care provision in Wales is handled by the Welsh Government. Challenged on a visit to a farm in Montgomeryshire on Tuesday evening, Mr Farron said the Tory policy had implications for cross-border farms. "If you have a situation where you end up with people's homes at risk, particularly if you are cross-border farming, you end up in a situation where your home could be cashed in, and that, if it's the farm, could potentially impact future generations down the line," he said. "But these are issues that will indeed be decided on Thursday," Mr Farron added.

Summary: Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron has defended attacking Conservative social care policy while visiting Wales, even though it only applies in England.
