The ex-Peterborough player, 30, made 23 appearances last season for the League Two side, who were beaten in the play-off final by Blackpool at Wembley. Midfielder Tom McCready and full-back Connor Riley-Lowe have also been let go but six have been offered new deals. "We are yet to establish whether we are able to carry three goalkeepers in the squad," said Exeter boss Paul Tisdale. "With Bobby's contract expiring, he has not received an offer, although we would love to keep him if it were possible." Christy Pym and James Hamon are the other keepers on the Grecians' books. The Devon side have 18 players under contract for next season, including forwards Ollie Watkins and David Wheeler, with defender Troy Archibald-Henville and Jamaica international Joel Grant among those yet to respond to offers from the club.

Summary: Exeter City still hope to offer Bobby Olejnik a new contract despite releasing the Austrian goalkeeper.


Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge says flu is affecting patients as well as those in public areas and has urged people to stay away. "The hospital is full and we're struggling to cope. Some patients have had to be diverted to other hospitals. "We have high numbers of people with flu across the hospital," medical director Dr Jag Ahluwalia said. "For coughs, colds and flu-like illnesses, people are better off at home, resting and drinking plenty of fluids," Dr Ahluwalia added. "We need people to stay away from the hospital and ask themselves - do you need to be here?" Influenza is a virus so cannot be treated with antibiotics and in most cases it will run its course, the hospital said.

Summary: Three wards have been shut and 64 patients are ill following an outbreak of flu at a hospital.

Speaking at the launch in Llanelwedd, he said: "We have record levels in terms of visitors but what we want to do is build on those successes, making sure people come and return time and time again. "I'm particularly impressed by what you have done with the online resources, not just including top 10 visitor suggestions for each area but for each of the seasons. We have to ensure there's something all year round to offer tourists." The e-brochure is available online from Monday.

The pups were born on 3 June and are being raised by their parents Ruby and Jax. It is the latest litter of European wolves, a subspecies of the grey wolf, to be raised at the park. Previously, pups were born there in 2013 and Ruby was born at the site in 2012. Ruby's siblings went on to join other collections as part of a European wolf management programme in the UK. The latest pups, which are four females and two males, have been named Fearn, Eadha, Rose, Cora, Darach and Simon. A series of photographs of the pups were first released by the park in July. In the wild, European wolves are found throughout Scandinavia. Some are also found in southern and eastern Europe and western Russia. Wolves were hunted to extinction in Scotland in the 1740s.

Summary: New images have been released showing how much six wolf pups born at the Highland Wildlife Park at Kincraig, near Aviemore, have grown.


The 153 skiers were stuck on the slopes of the Cervinia resort for seven hours on Saturday after wires carrying the cabins became tangled in strong winds. The cars stopped at an altitude of more than 2,500m (8,366ft), and the rescue ended just before midnight. No cases of hypothermia were reported during the incident in the Aosta Valley, near the French border. "Luckily the wind wasn't too cold... everything is under control," Adriano Favre, the head of the local rescue teams, was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency. Television pictures of the rescue showed the skiers using wires to slide down the cable to the ground. In September, more than 30 tourists spent a cold night trapped in several cable cars high above the French Alps. They were eventually freed after rescuers managed to restart the cabins by relaxing the tension of tangled cables.

Summary: More than 150 skiers have been rescued after hours trapped in cable cars in the Italian Alps, officials say.

Summary: American Charley Hoffman holds a one-shot lead at the Houston Open after an eight-under-par opening round of 64.


On Wednesday, the organisation is to hold its first conference. The event in Oban will focus on current and future uses for Scottish seaweed in the food and drink industry. But the association said there was also growing interest in the plantlife as an ingredient in pharmaceuticals and personal care products. Seaweed is harvested in a number of areas of Scotland. On the Western Isles, sugar kelp is gathered by hand for making Isle of Harris Gin. The Hebridean Seaweed Company on Lewis harvests and processes seaweed for use in skincare and other products. Five years ago, mapping was done to establish the best resources of knotted wrack could be found in the Western Isles. Lewis was identified as offering the largest quantities of the seaweed. North Uist had the next highest percentage of knotted wrack for harvesting, followed by South Uist and Harris.

Summary: Seaweed could be one of the biggest sustainable growth areas in Scotland's marine sector, the Scottish Seaweed Industry Association has said.


Kris Wade, 36, was accused of killing Christine James, who was 65, at Hansen Court, Century Wharf, some time between February 25 and March 3. He appeared at Cardiff Crown Court via video link from Long Lartin prison. Wade's barrister said his client had "no recollection of the incident". Sentencing was adjourned until 22 September Barrister John Charles Rees QC told the court: "There is no doubt he used a knife. It is not accepted he took a knife there.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission confirmed it was continuing to investigate contact between Mrs James and South Wales Police before her death. Mrs James was the mother-in-law of former Wales rugby captain Jonathan Humphreys.

West Dorset District Council earlier gave the go-ahead for phase 2b of the Brewery Square scheme in Dorchester. The development will create a cultural quarter, including a hotel, shops, restaurants, a theatre, fountain and ice rink. The 12-strong development committee voted unanimously in favour of the former Dorchester Brewery site plans. Among the approved proposals is the conversion of the 130-year-old former brewery building into a hotel and spa, and homes. The Grade II listed brewhouse will be transformed into a 52-bedroom hotel and 17 apartments. New homes and shops will also be built on the site. Phase one of the scheme, which is now complete, involved the construction of a new health centre and the redevelopment of the old Eldridge Pope building into shops and apartments. Phase two, due for completion in October, includes a new cinema on Brewery Square.

Summary: Councillors have approved plans for the next phase of the £100m redevelopment of a Dorset town centre.


This is what we know about the scheme so far: A spokesman for the Treasury said the new scheme was simultaneously designed to help people get onto the property ladder and to help stimulate house building. If you accept a 40% London equity help-to-buy loan you are required to pay back a 40% share of the value of the home when you come to sell. Between April 2013 and June 2015 the government provided 3,128 help-to-buy equity loans in London worth nearly £200m in total. In the capital the most help-to-buy loans were supplied in the borough of Havering (362). Four London boroughs - Haringey, Westminster, Camden and Kensington and Chelsea - had no applications for the scheme. The City of London also had no loan applications.

Summary: The Chancellor has announced a London help-to-buy scheme in his Autumn Spending Review.


The statutory prison term recommended for offenders had ranged from between three months and three years. The cabinet has approved plans to impose jail terms of between five and seven years, with harsher sentences if the procedure leads to death or deformity. FGM has been illegal in Egypt since 2008 but it remains widespread. The procedure involves the partial or full removal of the external sex organs, ostensibly to control women's sexuality. It is practised by both Muslims and Christians in a number of African countries and in parts of the Middle East. In May, an Egyptian teenager who had undergone FGM died of complications, prompting the UN to call on Egypt for tougher action.

Summary: Egyptian authorities are to increase the penalty for those who force women into genital mutilation (FGM).


RSPB Scotland and National Trust for Scotland raised concerns in October that the faeces on Ben Macdui posed a potential health risk. The RSPB said there had been no incidents of irresponsible toileting detected since last year. The two charities own the 4,295ft (1,309m) mountain. Ben Macdui, second on the list of the UK's tallest peaks after Ben Nevis, is in the Cairngorms. Some of the waste was left at the ruins of the stone-built Sapper's Bothy. A spokesman for RSPB Scotland said: "We believe that the problem may have been something of a 'one-off' and have not received any calls about the problem recently. "I think we can say that people are, on the whole, respecting the mountain environment and we are grateful for that."

Summary: Conservationists hope a problem with human waste being left on the summit of the UK's second highest mountain has gone away.


Lingard scored 14 minutes into Tuesday's 3-0 league win over Stoke to end United's run of 11 home matches without scoring a first-half goal. United remain five points adrift of the top four, but the margin of victory gave Van Gaal respite from criticism of his team's dour displays this season. "It's not the manager's fault - we've been on the pitch," said Lingard. United, jeered after losing 1-0 to Southampton in their previous home game, outclassed Stoke, with Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney also scoring. Lingard, 23, described his early goal as "massive" for the team's confidence. "It's a weight off our shoulders and we can just play football now," he added. "We are playing with freedom and we've got a lot of energy in the team." Media playback is not supported on this device

Summary: Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal is not to blame for the team's recent troubles, says winger Jesse Lingard.


Contracts have been exchanged between the owners of the Quality Inn hotel and Plymouth City Council which deems the building an "eyesore, after becoming a magnet for anti-social behaviour". The authority plans to demolish the 10-storey building. It said the site would make an "amazing location" for a new hotel. Updates on this story and more from Devon Council leader Tudor Evans said: "We cannot let this eyesore blot our stunning waterfront. "We want to make it work for the city and are already talking to a number of interested parties." The hotel, which was built in the late 1960s, closed two years ago. The council said it could not reveal how much it would pay owner Tamar Properties (Canterbury) Ltd because "commercially sensitive discussions" were ongoing. It added that contracts had been exchanged, with a report on buying the property to be discussed by the Cabinet later.

Summary: A derelict building that has been the target of several arson attacks could make way for a new hotel under council plans.

"He is an offensive central midfield player who fills the position left by Emyr Huws' departure," Terriers head coach David Wagner said. "We have completed some very interesting permanent transfers, but sometimes the loan market also offers exciting quality like Aaron." Huws, who was on loan at the Terriers last season, has returned to his parent club Wigan following their promotion to the Championship. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page.

Summary: A police investigation has begun after a gun was fired at a house in Fife.


A document advising "if you can't RUN, HIDE" was placed online by the National Counter Terrorism Security Office. A source said the document - titled Developing Dynamic Lockdown Procedures - had been published in error. It was due to put on the site next week during a security awareness week that was planned before the Paris attacks. Sources stressed the advice was aimed at businesses and the security industry and was not a response to any specific threat. It says: "Is there a safe route? RUN if not HIDE" and tells people to "find cover from gunfire". The NCTSO is part of the National Police Chiefs' Council, and the mistake does not appear to have been made by government or Home Office officials. The NCTSO has access to pages on the gov.uk website.

Summary: Advice urging the public to run and hide from gunmen was published by mistake on the government's website, the BBC understands.


The staff member became entangled with the hydraulically operated machine at the firm's shop in Middlesbrough's Captain Cook Square in December 2013. The company must also pay £4,800 in costs. It was sentenced at Teesside Crown Court having pleaded guilty to a health and safety offence at a previous hearing. Easi Recycling Solutions Limited, which supplied and installed the machine, was fined £10,000 and ordered to pay £6,800 costs having also previously admitted its guilt.

On Wednesday States members rejected amended proposals for the introduction of a width and emissions vehicle tax. An Environment Department spokesman said signing the contract, due to take place on Friday, would be put off until a meeting with treasury next week. Dai Powell, from preferred bidder CT Plus, said it would not cause issues. He said: "We understand the position of the States and they have kept us informed during their process. "Whilst obviously disappointed with the delay as we want to start moving things forward as soon as we can, a short delay in signing the contract will not have a material impact on the roll out of the new contract." CT Plus is the current operator of the island's public bus services and some school bus services. Its contract is due to finish on 31 March.

Summary: Funding concerns have delayed the signing of the new contract for Guernsey's bus services.

Summary: Swiss food giant Nestle has said it could sell its US confectionery business.


The defibrillator was taken from a secure cabinet outside the Co-op on High Street, Burntisland, at about 02:30 on Monday. It was installed by Burntisland First Aid Services Trust in May 2015 after £850 was raised by the local community.

Both sides had gone into the game level on points in Premier League Two, still in with a chance of promotion but also still not safe from relegation. Team Jets were 22-15 ahead by half-time and, although Clan narrowed the advantage, the hosts were able to pull away again in the final quarter. "It was quite a classy win," Jets coach Linda Andrews told BBC Radio Jersey. "I'm really pleased that we'll move up in the table. There were about four of us within one point of each other so it's really, really tight. "We know that Clan have got to play [unbeaten leaders] Tameside, and I think the people around us have still got to play Tameside so that might be in our favour. "We'll just keep on plodding along, one game at a time, and then we'll see where we end up at the end of the season."

Summary: Jersey's Team Jets boosted their play-off hopes with a 44-30 win over Clan at Fort Regent.

Summary: Eleven men have appeared in court charged in connection with a multi-million pound raid at a cider-making family's luxury home in Somerset.


Few details were available, but media reports were enough to send shares in Weight Watchers up around 16%. The share price has tumbled 85% this year on losses and criticism that it has been too slow to react to competition and new health trends. The New York-based firm, which could be valued at about $2bn (Â£1.3bn), saw profit fall 52% last year. The hedge fund has reportedly bought Weight Watchers loans, due for repayment in April next year, and is now talking to potential partners about a possible joint bid. The company is still the world's leading weight loss brand, but fewer people have been subscribing to classes, with mobile apps and activity monitors a contributing cause. In the US, where the company has the majority of its subscribers, the number of people signing up has fallen by more than 20%.

Summary: Weight Watchers International is reportedly a takeover target for an unnamed activist hedge fund.


The baby, which is yet to be named, was born at Drusillas Park in Alfriston to parents Lotfi and Clementine. The pair have been at the zoo since 2009 as part of the European Endangered Species Programme. Black lemurs are native to Madagascar and are vulnerable due to hunting and deforestation. Clementine and Lotfi came to Drusillas from zoos in Portugal and Tunisia. A Drusillas spokeswoman said they could not tell yet if the baby was male or female but that it would become clear when their markings and colourings appeared. She said: "Males are all black with striking orange eyes, whereas females are brown with long white ear tufts. "Once this has been established, the zoo team will get on with the very important business of naming their beautiful little lemur."

Summary: A rare black lemur, which is classed as an endangered species, has been born at an East Sussex zoo.


In this video (which is in Dutch) an eagle is seen swooping towards a hovering drone, grabbing hold of the machine with its talons and flying off. The birds are taught to treat the drones as if they were a small animal they would hunt to eat. "The bird sees the drone as prey and takes it to a safe area, a place where he does not suffer from other birds or humans," says a statement from the police. The Dutch National Police force says it's trying to limit how often members of the public are using drones. Drones have been a big problem, sometimes they are flown too close to aeroplanes. Obviously there's the chance that an eagle could get hurt by the blades on a drone. That's why the police are apparently looking into some sort of protective clothing for the birds.

Summary: Dutch police are training eagles to grab illegal drones out of the sky.


The white paint has pooled across the M606 southbound in Bradford after 12 containers fell off the lorry. The motorway is shut from Staygate to the Euroway industrial estate while a clean-up operation gets under way. West Yorkshire Police said it was trying to establish what caused the crash. Highways England said the road needed to be resurfaced. Nigel Fawcett-Jones, from the force, said: "One of the challenges is that it's hazardous to the environment and they can't just flush it down the drain. "So they are trying their best to find a method to get it off the carriageway and dispose of it in a safe and appropriate manner." Motorists have been urged to avoid the area.

Summary: About 12,000 litres of paint have been spilt over a motorway following an HGV crash.

Summary: Top seed Roger Federer beat his old rival Rafael Nadal in three sets to claim his seventh Swiss Indoors title.


Members will also be working to rule and adhering to a 37.5 hour week between 13 October and 9 November. Earlier this week, the Unison union said its members would go on strike on the 13th between 07.00 and 11.00. Unions are angry with the government over its 1% pay rise offer for NHS health workers. This does not apply to those who get automatic, on-the-job pay increases, which are given to about half of staff and are worth 3% a year on average. The decision by ministers went against the recommendation of the independent pay review board, which called for an across-the-board rise. Unite members in Northern Ireland will be striking between 11.00 and 15.00 on 13 October.

Summary: Unite members working in the health service in England will join a four-hour strike on 13 October, the union has said.


The Australian, 30, was signed in January on a one-year contract after being released by Catalans in October. A proposed move to Huddersfield in 2009 fell through after he was denied a visa because of drink-driving offences.

Watson told the club website: "Todd is able to play in all the positions along the spine of the team. I know how excited he is to come across and perform for the club." Salford travel to Huddersfield on Thursday, although Carney's visa approval came too late for him to feature. Instead, he could make his debut against Leeds Rhinos on 24 February.

Summary: Salford Red Devils have announced that half-back Todd Carney has had his visa application approved and should arrive in England by the weekend.


Waseem Al-Muflehi, 15, and Yahya Mohammed, 14, both from Birmingham, disappeared in the water at Barmouth beach, in Gwynedd, last Sunday. Coastguard teams searched for them for three days but the hunt was called off on Tuesday. The body has not yet been identified but the families have been informed. The boys were part of a group of about 500 people from the Somali and Yemeni communities in Birmingham, who were visiting the area last weekend when the incident happened. Emergency services were called to the beach on Sunday after one of the boys was seen to "disappear under the water".

The disability arts movement began in the 1980s and culminated in the introduction of disability rights legislation in 1995, lasting a few years beyond. During this time, disabled people expressed their frustration in pictures, sculpture and ephemera, in what some call protest art. The aim of the million pound project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, is to capture as much of this collection as possible before it is lost. Here is a selection of images from the collection. For more information go to the website of The National Disability Arts Collection and Archive (NDACA) who will be doing more roadshows next year. The collection will be on display from 2017 online, in pop-up galleries, in a national cinema tour, and more.

Cardigan Bay has one of Europe's largest semi-resident populations of bottlenose dolphins. But the Sea Watch Foundation says a short-beaked common dolphin has now been seen from New Quay, in Ceredigion. It says the smaller breed, with its yellow and white markings, usually gathers in groups in waters deeper than 164ft (50m).

The Enfield 8000 was built to woo drivers during the decade's oil crisis, but only 120 were offered for sale. Motoring journalist Jonny Smith set a record of 11.27 seconds at 118.38mph, beating the previous 11.5 second record for a 1/4 mile dash. The car, named Flux Capacitor, broke the record at Santa Pod Raceway on the Bedfordshire-Northamptonshire border. Mr Smith tweeted: "Good news! Just set new record. So it is definitely the quickest street legal EV in Europe. I am extremely chuffed." The high cost of building electric cars in the mid-1970s when technology was at an early stage killed off production. The Santa Pod Raceway, which hosts drag racing and other high speed vehicle events, is based south of Wellingborough.

Andrew Beadie, 20, had just been released on licence when he used the 25cm (10in) blade in an alleyway near the Bow Bells pub in November. Beadie, from Basildon, was cleared of attempted murder but found guilty of assault and wounding with intent. The Old Bailey heard Beadie thought the officer was a crack addict who was out to get him. The court was told the stabbing on 22 November happened moments after Beadie beat up another man because he bumped in to him. Beadie, of Claremont Road, already had a number of convictions, including battery and possession of a knife. During the trial Det Ch Insp Gary Holmes told the jury it was a "cowardly, unprovoked and sickening knife attack on a police officer" and it was "just sheer luck" the injuries were not life-threatening.

Summary: A man who stabbed an undercover Met Police officer with a "Rambo knife" has been jailed for 16 years.


Senators backed plans to reduce their number by two-thirds, remove the chamber's power to bring down a government, and limit its ability to block legislation. The moves aim to end decades of political instability in the country. Senators voted 179 in favour and 16 against the reforms, which will go to a national referendum next year. Mr Renzi has overcome much opposition to push through the reforms. However, because it involves a change to the constitution, the bill introducing the changes will have to return to the senate again next year, and pass twice through the lower house. This will give opponents considerable opportunity to oppose the reforms. The bill will then have to be ratified through a referendum, adding another hurdle to the process.

Summary: In what is deemed a victory for Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, Italy's senate has voted to cede most of its power.

Imperial War Museum Duxford plans to overhaul the offering at its American Air Museum, built in 1997. It also plans to put 15,000 rarely seen prints and slides online and carry out conservation work on its aircraft. Robyn Llewellyn, from the Heritage Lottery Fund, said the grant would allow "fascinating stories" to be told. The museum said the first phase of the project involves putting its Freeman Collection online, which contains thousands of pictures and artefacts about the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) in Britain during World War Two. Mr Llewellyn said: "The American Air Museum has possibly the best collection of US military aircraft outside the USA. "This project will give IWM Duxford the opportunity to overhaul the displays and galleries and bring many of the fascinating stories of the First World War, Second World War, and more recent conflicts to life in new and exciting ways."

Summary: A Cambridgeshire war museum has been given £980,000 to boost its American collection and make more of it available to the public.


Media playback is not supported on this device Alvarez withdrew from Spain's squad for the European Under-21 Championship in June because he required treatment. The 22-year-old was given a round of applause from his Bilbao team-mates when he returned to the club on Friday. Alvarez played 26 league games last season as Bilbao finished seventh in La Liga. He had surgery in December after being diagnosed but was back in action in February. An abnormality was discovered in June during a routine test to monitor the centre-back's recovery from his operation, which required him to start a new course of treatment. "We want him to feel as comfortable as possible here and we did this not only for Yeray but for all families that suffer from this disease," said midfielder Oscar de Marcos.

Summary: Athletic Bilbao players have shaved their heads in support of defender Yeray Alvarez who is having chemotherapy for testicular cancer.


The published extract is authoritative, balanced and, in parts, far from flattering. Those around the future king - who invited the author in - cannot now complain as she holds a mirror up to his court. The book's greatest value will probably be the light it sheds on how Charles intends to behave once destiny calls. The serialisation suggests the Queen's eldest son wants to continue the work he does now - which includes a focus on the environment and architecture - as well as taking on the role of head of state. Some in royal circles believe the two are not compatible. We know the prince's reign will be different from his mother's. This biography may help us understand just how different it will be.

Summary: To write the biography Charles: Heart of a King, Catherine Mayer had access to Prince Charles, his friends, his staff and his critics.


The 19-year-old, who can play at right-back or centre-back, is yet to make his senior debut for the Whites. The Northern Ireland international will be with the Reds until 27 August. "With Lanre Oyebanjo out until October we need cover in the right-back position and Liam is a player we have had on our radar for a while," Crawley boss Mark Yates told the club website. Donnelly, who began his career with Dungannon Swifts, becomes Crawley's 10th signing of the summer transfer window. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page.

Summary: League Two side Crawley Town have signed Fulham defender Liam Donnelly on a one-month youth loan.


The infiltration began shortly after 21:00 GMT, and at least four messages were broadcast to his 384,000 followers. One mocked Prime Minister David Cameron by stating: "davey cameron is a pie". Mr Corbyn's team quickly regained control of the @jeremycorbyn account and the offending tweets were deleted. The Labour leader mostly tweets about party policy so the first of the hacked messages, which began "Here we... here we..." and contained three exclamation marks, would have alerted his followers to the fact that something was not quite right. A minute later, the hacker posted the message about Mr Cameron, followed almost immediately by one which poked fun at Mr Corbyn's opposition to the Trident nuclear missile programme.

Summary: A series of foul-mouthed posts have been published on Jeremy Corbyn's Twitter feed following the apparent hacking of the Labour leader's account.


It touched down at Titanic Belfast this morning, and will tour Northern Ireland over the next two days. It is hoped the helicopter will come into service by March. Decisions are yet to be made about staffing and a permanent base for the helicopter. Northern Ireland was previously the only area in the UK without a HEMS (helicopter emergency medical service). The helicopter has arrived after a campaign for an air ambulance service by the late Dr John Hinds. Dr Hinds died in an accident in July 2015, but his partner Dr Janet Acheson continued his campaigning work. Earlier this year the then chancellor George Osborne provided Â£4.5m of banking fines to get the service up and running.

Summary: The new air ambulance for Northern Ireland has arrived in Belfast.


Retrospective planning permission for people to live all year-round at Lakeminster Park, near Beverley was refused in 2012 by East Riding Council. Following appeals, the decision was upheld and residents were given 18 months from September 2014 to move out. Six months on, 30 units have been removed, vacated or are soon to be empty. Pete Ashcroft, the council's head of planning and development management, said: "The council understands the difficulties being faced by the occupants of Lakeminster Park, but is encouraged that so many have already complied with the enforcement notice and well ahead of the deadline of March 2016. "We understand the concerns of those living on the park and, if they have not yet done so, we would strongly advise them to seek independent legal advice on this decision and what options are now open to them."

Summary: Up to half he residents of a chalet park in East Yorkshire have moved out ahead of an eviction deadline.

Thames Valley Police said a number of people were involved in a fight in Whaddon Way in Bletchley on Tuesday afternoon. The teenage victim from Lord Grey School was taken to hospital with two wounds, believed to have been caused by a knife. A police spokesman said the injuries were "not life-threatening". The force said the incident may have been filmed on mobile phones and have appealed for anyone who saw what happened to come forward. Supt Gez Chiariello said officers would " leave no stone unturned" in the investigation. "Patrols in the area have also been stepped up, so the police presence has been heightened and this will be visible to members of the public as a sign of reassurance," he said.

Taylor dismissed Georgia Elwiss, Sonia Odedra and Thea Brookes in the space of five balls as she claimed 4-5. Loughborough could only manage 108-9 despite being given a good start by Ellysse Perry (25) and Amy Jones (21). England skipper Heather Knight (24) was run out for the Storm but Taylor's 34 helped see them home by five wickets. The match was in the balance with three overs remaining as last year's runners-up, who were beaten by Southern Vipers in their opening match, still needed another 24 for victory. Three boundaries off Rebecca Grundy eased the pressure and although Taylor was caught at mid-wicket off Georgia Elwiss (2-24), Sophie Luff (18 not out) hit the winning single with five balls to spare.

Summary: West Indies all-rounder Stafanie Taylor took three wickets in one over as Western Storm beat Loughborough Lightning in the Women's Super League.

The northbound carriageway of the A249 between Key Street and Bobbing roundabouts, near Sittingbourne in Kent, has been closed for a week. More than 1,000 homes and three schools on the Isle of Sheppey were affected by the burst main, with some without water for two days. Highways England said it was assessing the damage caused by the sinkhole. Spokesman Andrew Broughton said it was not known when the road would reopen as engineers were awaiting the results of detailed geo-technical surveys on the sinkhole, which is up to 15ft (4.5m) deep. "We're continuing to assess the damage that's happened underneath the road before we can actually plan any repairs," he said. Diversions are in place for drivers heading towards Sheppey.

Summary: A dual carriageway is to remain shut after a huge sinkhole opened up as a result of a burst water main.

Exeter are now unbeaten in nine league games and level on points with Wimbledon, who currently occupy the final play-off position.

Summary: Exeter boosted their chances of a League Two play-off spot with victory at Yeovil Town.


The 21-year-old winger, who has signed a one-year contract, has become Gary Locke's first capture as manager with the Scottish Championship club. Winger Bobby Barr had agreed a move to Stark's Park from Greenock Morton under previous manager Ray McKinnon. Johnston only played once last season because of a cruciate ligament injury.

Summary: Former Scotland youth international Chris Johnston has signed for Raith Rovers after being released by Kilmarnock.


In Tynwald, David Anderson confirmed plans are in place for an external assessment, the timings of which are due to be announced next month. It follows the publication of a series of concerns from senior consultants about standards at Noble's hospital. Mr Anderson said plans for a review have been in the pipeline since 2008. He added the delay had been due to trying to persuade UK regulators, Care Quality Commission (CQC), to take on additional work outside the UK. The CQC was set up in the UK as a way of checking that hospitals, care homes and care services meet national standards. Talks are now ongoing with other health service regulators. The inspection dates will be announced in the July sitting of Tynwald.

Summary: An independent review into the Isle of Man's hospital is "a sign of a healthy, self-critical organisation, not failure", says the health minister.


The items were apparently found during a search of a burial ground in Edmonton. Earlier, Sky News reported that a man who had admitted taking part in the raid wrote to Sky offering to reveal the whereabouts of the stolen goods. He was escorted from prison to the cemetery to show officers where to dig. The contents of 72 safety deposit boxes were taken during the heist in April. Jewellery, cash and other items valued at up to Â£20m were taken in the burglary over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend. The BBC has learned that "many millions" are still missing. Sky News said its crime correspondent was contacted by Danny Jones, 58, one of four men who had pleaded guilty to conspiracy to rob the Hatton Garden vault over the Easter weekend. Five others pleaded not guilty and are due to stand trial next month.

Summary: Police investigating the Hatton Garden jewellery raid have recovered what is believed to be some of the stolen property at a north London cemetery.

"Hopefully I can keep my place between now and the end of the season and then we'll sit down with my agent and see what's what," he said. Taylor has competed for a place at left-back with Jordan Obita. "I've enjoyed my time here and really taken to the players, staff and fans," he added. "If an opportunity came to stay, it's something I would definitely look at." The former Cardiff and Middlesbrough defender says he has heard little from his parent club since making the move south. "Nobody's been in touch with me from Wigan, apart from a few players I'm friends with," he said. "But, from staff-wise and above, nobody's spoken to me."

Summary: On-loan Reading full-back Andrew Taylor says he will "definitely look at" the opportunity to make a permanent move to the Madejski Stadium next season.


The suspects are leaders of Taksim Solidarity, an umbrella group at the forefront of the demonstrations. They were accused of setting up a criminal group and violating public order and faced up to 30 years in jail. Activist Mucella Yapici told AFP: "All of us were acquitted. It was an absurd case." Human rights campaigners had demanded the charges be dropped, with Amnesty International calling it a "politically motivated show trial". The protests began over plans to redevelop Istanbul's Gezi Park in May 2013, but turned into mass anti-government rallies after a heavy-handed police crackdown. Mr Erdogan, who was prime minister at the time, said the demonstrations were the work of "riff-raff". Hundreds of others are still being prosecuted across Turkey for alleged crimes related to the protests.

Summary: A Turkish court has acquitted 26 people charged over their role in organising protests against leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Istanbul in 2013.

Summary: The Queen will mark the 175th anniversary of the first train journey made by a British monarch.


In contrast, they were pleased that Jeremy Corbyn had shown his face. For him, that decision seems to have been a tactical win. If elections really are a game, he took the points today. But whether his performance will have the same impact on a wider audience, particularly undecided voters, is a different matter. In the spin room tonight where the press were watching and senior politicians were trying to claim victory for their competitor, it didn't feel like a wake or a celebration for any party in particular. None of the participants achieved a big breakthrough moment. But nor, crucially, did any of them have a cringing disaster. By polling day, tonight's event may be remembered more for the day that Mrs May didn't show, than anything that was actually said on the platform.

Summary: At the end of the debate, some of the audience I spoke to were clearly pretty fed up that Theresa May hadn't turned up.

Dhaka police spokesman Muntashirul Islam told AFP news agency that three of the men arrested on Sunday were directly accused of killing Mr Tavella. Attacks on foreigners in Bangladesh are rare, correspondents say, but Islamist violence has surged recently, including high-profile attacks on atheist bloggers.

Summary: Four people have been arrested in Bangladesh in connection with the killing of an Italian aid worker, say police.


The artwork is called Ten Million and stands on top of the Golden Cap above cliffs between Charmouth and Bridport in Dorset. It was created by Zac Greening to highlight pollution around the coast. The "light cube" symbolises one of the 10m metric tonnes of plastic that researchers believe are dumped into the sea every year. It will be in place until early January, and will be illuminated from late afternoon until around 21:00 GMT. The sculpture has been installed as part of the National Trust's 2015 Coastal Festival. Helen Mann, the trust's general manager for west and north Dorset, said the sculpture was "an innovative way to help highlight the issues of plastic pollution in our seas and around our coast".

Summary: A sculpture made of 250 recycled plastic bottles has been installed on the highest point on the south coast.


Hull's Arsenal loanee Chuba Akpom broke the deadlock shortly into extra time but Matt Crooks equalised. Greg Luer's header put Hull back in front three minutes later, but Terry Gornell took the game to penalties. Both sides missed two of their first five penalties to send the spot-kicks into sudden death before Crooks fired over after Curtis Davies scored. Hull City boss Steve Bruce told BBC Radio Humberside: Media playback is not supported on this device "I thought they were well organised, well drilled and have got some good players as well. "We were lackadaisical and we weren't playing as quick as we should do. We played like it was a pre-season friendly and sometimes that happens when you come to places like this and that's what it looked like tonight. "We've got a lot of young players and the experience of tonight will do them well."

Summary: Championship side Hull beat League Two Accrington Stanley on penalties to reach the League Cup second round.


Built on the site of Alfred Barrow School in Duke Street, it will replace "old, inefficient" facilities. A number of services, including three GP practices, a response base for the North West Ambulance Service and a pharmacy will operate from the centre. Barrow GP Geoff Jolliffe said he was "delighted" to be creating a "much better" service for the community. The development was approved by Barrow Borough Council's planning committee.
