The teams waited on the side of the pitch before the police and stewards restored order. Visiting players appealed for calm and the match resumed after a break of almost five minutes. Everton had opened the scoring moments before the trouble broke out through Michael Keane's header. The Toffees added a second goal through Idrissa Gueye shortly after the game restarted and they held on to win 2-0. "I am disappointed, but it's not my job," said Everton manager Ronald Koeman.

The comments were made by a retired director of the former Western Health and Social Services Trust. The inquiry is examining claims of abuse at 13 homes and training centres in Northern Ireland from 1922 to 1995. The witness said he visited Termonbacca Catholic Boys Home in Londonderry as a social worker in the 1970s. Two months into the inquiry, two homes are still being examined, St Joseph's, Termonbacca and Nazareth House, both in Derry. Since the inquiry opened, most of the evidence has been from former residents, with stories of sexual, mental and physical abuse. The retired health board official, who is giving evidence under an anonymity agreement, said Termonbacca was a very large home with up to 60 children. Commenting on his observations of the home during visits as a social worker in the 1970s, he said: "I found the atmosphere to be caring and welcoming."

SpaceX confirmed it was from the first stage of its successful Falcon 9 CRS-4 mission from September last year. The section of the spacecraft, measuring about 10m (32ft) by 4m (13ft), was spotted on the surface between Bryher and Tresco. Coastguards believed it was from the SpaceX Falcon 9 which exploded after take-off in Florida in June. Get updates on this and other stories today on our Local Live pages. The later CRS-4 mission successfully docked with the International Space Station after its launch from Cape Canaveral in Florida.

Poulter, second at last week's Players Championship, thought he had lost his PGA Tour card in April as he was ranked 197th after struggling with injury. The 41-year-old got a reprieve after a discrepancy in the points structure used for players competing on major medical exemptions was highlighted. "Thanks for the invite and help, European Tour," said the Englishman. "Excited to now be playing. Heard good things about the west course. See you in a week." The PGA Championship is the European Tour's flagship event, while the PGA Tour is a season of tournaments played mainly in the United States. World number two Rory McIlroy will decide early next week whether he will play at Wentworth.

Summary: Ian Poulter has accepted an invitation to play at the BMW PGA Championship from 25-28 May at Wentworth.


The party wanted to "shake up the Senedd", she said, at the start of a two-day campaign visit to Cardiff. Ms Lucas said she was confident of seeing Green AMs elected via the regional lists due to proportional representation. She said the party would speak for those who cared about social justice, the environment and jobs. Wales was the one place in the whole of the UK where the Greens did not have any elected members or councillors, the Brighton Pavilion MP added. "We really are on the cusp of getting elected this time around," she said. "We're really confident that once we do get elected we can make a real difference to Wales."

Summary: The Green Party has a "strong chance" of getting its first ever AMs elected in May, MP Caroline Lucas has said.

Thousands of bathers were cooling off in the Parana River in Rosario, 300km (186 miles) north of Buenos Aires, on Christmas Day when the attack happened. Officials blamed the attack on the palometa fish, describing the event as "exceptional". Paramedics said dozens of people had their extremities attacked and some had lost digits. Director of lifeguards in Rosario, Federico Cornier, said bathers suddenly began to complain of bite marks on hands and feet as they cooled off in a heat wave. He said the palometa was "a type of piranha, big, voracious and with sharp teeth that can really bite". Mr Cornier said: "This is not normal. It's normal for there to be an isolated bite or injury, but the magnitude in this case was great... this is an exceptional event." Paramedic Alberto Manino told Associated Press some children he had treated had lost entire digits.

Summary: A school of carnivorous fish related to the piranha has attacked bathers in an Argentine river, injuring about 70.


North Clwyd Animal Rescue in Trelogan, near Holywell has created the village to ensure its oldest dogs live out their final years in comfort. Each dog has an individual room with an armchair, bed, outdoor run and even under floor heating after money was left by a supporter after they died. Fundraising manager Nicky Owen said: "I think they are very happy." The charity rescues about 1,800 animals a year and the retirement home is for older dogs which are more difficult to find new homes for. Animal welfare manager Karen Weed said: "You don't want to see older dogs in the kennels. It's not the place for them. "So we are trying to make it as nice as possible." The retirement village officially opens at the start of December.

Summary: A new retirement village has opened in Flintshire, but it is not your average old folk's home.

Prices rose by 3.8%, the lowest rate since May 2013, and down from 5.1% in the year to February, said the Halifax. The inflation rate is now less than a half what it was a year ago. Last week, the Nationwide said that house prices had actually fallen in the last month. The Halifax said prices had been flat since February. The average price of a home in the UK is now Â£219,755, it said. "The annual rate of house price growth has more than halved over the past 12 months," said Martin Ellis, Halifax's housing economist. "A lengthy period of rapid house price growth has made it increasingly difficult for many to purchase a home, as income growth has failed to keep up, which appears to have curbed housing demand." Where can I afford to live?

Summary: The growth in house prices across the UK showed a significant slowdown in the year to March, according to the country's biggest lender.

The court heard the footage even showed him filming a sign warning against the use of cameras in the court room. The 21-year-old, of Hunwick Close, Middlesbrough, admitted contempt of court and was jailed for three months.

Summary: A man who "openly" filmed and photographed court proceedings on his mobile phone has been jailed.


Radio - the main source of news - had a role in the 1994 genocide. Notorious "hate" station Radio Tele Libre Mille Collines (RTLM) was a vehicle for virulent anti-Tutsi propaganda. Reporters Without Borders accused officials of "reinforcing news control" in the run-up to 2010 elections. The watchdog says government "hounding" of journalists "forces them into exile or often results in their arrest". Newspaper readership is limited and press titles often exercise self-censorship. The BBC can be heard via FM in Kigali (93.9), Karongi (93.3) and Butare (106.1). The Voice of America and Deutsche Welle broadcast on FM in Kigali. By December 2013, just over one million, or 8.7 per cent, of Rwandans were online (Internetworldstats.com). Critical bloggers are often based abroad, notes US-based Freedom House.

Summary: State TV and radio reach the largest audiences, and state-owned publications predominate in the print sector.

Army spokesman Colonel SD Goswami said army and air force rescue teams helped by dogs were looking for the troops. The avalanche hit the high-altitude military post on the northern side of the glacier early on Wednesday morning. Siachen, known as the world's highest battlefield, is patrolled by troops from both India and Pakistan, who dispute the region's sovereignty. Four Indian soldiers were killed by an avalanche in the same area last month. More soldiers have died from harsh weather on the glacier than in combat since India seized control of it in 1984, narrowly pipping Pakistan. Soldiers have been deployed at heights of up to 22,000 ft (6,700m) above sea level. The neighbours have failed to demilitarise the Siachen glacier despite several rounds of peace talks.

Summary: Ten Indian soldiers are missing after an avalanche struck the Siachen glacier in Indian-administered Kashmir.


At the heart of the development is the new 150,000 sq ft (13,936 sq m) BBC Wales headquarters which will move to the site of the bus station in 2018. The Capital Square development includes a new walkway from Cardiff Central station to the Millennium Stadium and new offices on Wood Street. The scheme is being delivered by Rightacres Property. The new route to the stadium, know as the Millennium Walkway, has been designed to cope with large numbers of people for busy events such as Wales rugby internationals. Rightacres chief executive Paul McCarthy said: "Once we knew we could handle 35,000 people exiting the southern gates of the Millennium Stadium in under 20 minutes we knew the area could handle 7,000 people per hour on a normal day at peak times." Plans for Wood Street include space to accommodate a metro, should it be built.

Summary: This is how Cardiff city centre will look in the future once a multi-million pound renovation is complete.

He is wanted on suspicion of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion - allegations he denies. They stem from a visit to Sweden in August. Mr Assange, an Australian who does not live in Sweden, says the allegations are part of a smear campaign. Wikileaks has published confidential material relating to US military activities in Iraq and Afghanistan. A Stockholm prosecutor started an investigation in the summer, but the case was dropped by the chief prosecutor a day later. In September, Sweden's Director of Prosecution, Marianne Ny, reopened the investigation, but did not request Mr Assange's detention at the time. Ms Ny now says Mr Assange, 39, needs to be questioned. When the allegations first emerged, Mr Assange said their appearance - at a time when Wikileaks had been criticised for leaking Afghan war documents - was "deeply disturbing".

Summary: Sweden has issued an international arrest warrant for Wikileaks founder Julian Assange in a rape case.


Resuming on 93-2 in reply to the hosts' 220 all out, Notts declared on 508-9 after Hales' stunning knock. That left the hosts needing 288 in their second innings to make Notts bat again, but opener Luis Reece fell to Mark Footitt in the fourth over. Derbyshire reached the close on 45-1 after 12 overs, trailing by 243 runs. Hales, who won the last of his 11 England Test caps last summer against Pakistan, has been in excellent form in recent weeks.

The planes came within 700ft (200m) of each other before the mistake was corrected on 1 April. A UK Airprox report said the incident involved a Boeing 737 leaving Stansted and a Stansted-inbound Boeing 777. It said the controller instructed the "wrong aircraft", leading it to "climb into confliction" with the B777.

The 54-year-old president was responding to a Cambodian student who asked him for wise advice. Mr Obama entered office in 2009 with dark black hair, however in recent years it has turned markedly more grey. The colour of a president's hair has been controversial at times, with some leaders keeping secret the fact that they dyed their hair.
