Commons abuse: Dame Laura Cox's lightning strike

Summary: The new system for dealing with misbehaviour by MPs is not good enough and the culture and management must change - the verdict from Dame Laura Cox, who was asked to look at how the House of Commons deals with bullying and sexual harassment, following Newsnight 's reporting on the subject.

Chris CookPolicy editor, Newsnight@xtophercookon Twitter I suspect they were not expecting what they got. This report, a response to the reports that Lucinda Day and I published in March, is uncompromising. Dame Laura, a former high court judge, found "a culture, cascading from the top down, of deference, subservience, acquiescence and silence, in which bullying, harassment and sexual harassment have been able to thrive and have long been tolerated and concealed". If the House management commissioned a report thinking that she would find that Newsnight had over-egged the problem, they will be sorely disappointed. 'Serial offenders' She looked, as we did, at the treatment of the clerks - the apolitical staff who run the Commons and its committees. And she found, as we did, remarkable consistency in the accounts given by staff members about the problems in the House with bullying and harassment. She heard from 200 people about a place overwhelmed with culture of deference where victims feel guilty for their victimhood. MPs are a major part of the problem; she wrote: "Some MPs were alleged to be "serial offenders" and there was said to be widespread and long-standing awareness internally of their behaviour. "It is ...not possible to put a precise figure on the number of MPs who are alleged to have behaved in this way, but the accounts indicate that alleged bullying behaviour has been a more widespread problem than one limited to a few individuals. And, while some of the allegations relate to the past, others reveal that it continues to be a problem." Dame Laura also focuses on a problem that we heard much about, but reported on less. Alongside the problem with MPs, there is a problem with senior clerks. In an atmosphere where senior MPs are allowed to mistreat junior staff, grand clerks are protected by the same cultural tics and bureaucratic processes. So what now? There are some major conclusions she draws from her analysis of this dysfunctional workplace. She calls for a huge amount of change - after all, her analysis is that this is "a culture that has actively sought to cover up such abusive conduct". But she has some starting steps; necessary-but-not-sufficient conditions for what is needed: Dame Laura was commissioned to conduct an independent investigation. She delivered a thunderbolt.

Life as a male sex worker in Britain today

Summary: It is estimated there are as many as 100,000 sex workers across the UK, and about 20% of them are male. Some of these men see their work as a positive choice, but for the most vulnerable it can be little more than a means to survive.

By Michael CowanBBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme It is early afternoon in east London, and Daniel has just finished his first appointment of the day. After dropping out of university a decade ago, he turned to sex work and has been doing it full time ever since. "I see mainly single men," he tells the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme. "A large proportion are gay and out, but a lot of the [others] are married and trying to cover up what they're doing." Daniel says his clients usually fall between the ages of 35 and 85, and his price list includes anything from massages to sexual intercourse and overnight stays - which he advertises through apps and websites. What he is doing is legal. In England, Wales and Scotland, sex work is illegal when someone is forced to sell themselves against their will, solicits for work on the street or keeps a brothel. About 80% of male sex workers now have an online presence. For Daniel, it is a safer way of offering services - he also refuses to participate in unsafe sex and "chem sex", which involves the use of drugs. But many others put themselves at risk of harm. 'Child exploitation' About 5% of male sex workers operate on the street, and Manchester has more male street workers than anywhere else in the UK. Hayley Speed, who works for The Men's Room, one of only a handful of charities across the UK that supports these men, trying to keep them safe, says: "When we speak to sex workers about when they first got involved in sex work, the phrase we hear most often is, 'I started when I was 14 or 15,'" she says. "That's not sex work, that's child exploitation." Ms Speed fears that many sex workers - both children and adults - are being abused. A new survey into internet-based sex work, Beyond the Gaze - given ahead of publication to the Victoria Derbyshire programme - has found over 12% of the male sex workers who responded said they had been sexually assaulted in the past five years. More than 70% of male respondents in the survey - the biggest of its kind in Europe - also said they were unlikely to report crimes to the police. Ms Speed says many male sex workers do not take sexual assaults - including rape - seriously. She believes there has been a "normalisation of quite extreme behaviours", with many simply viewing this as "[par for] the course". The hub of Manchester's male street work scene is beneath the city's gay village, around Canal Street, on the canals that line the centre of the city, where The Men's Room does two night's outreach a week. According to its co-director Fergal McCullough, sex workers in this area are the most vulnerable - some are homeless, nearly all have very little money. "I wouldn't necessarily say the guys down here have made a rational choice to be in this situation," he says. "Tyler" - not his real name - began sex work while in a similar situation. He fled his hometown when his family disowned him for being gay. With no money, and not knowing anyone in the city, he became homeless. Within a week, he had turned to sex work. "It started off with one or two people a night, then more and more," he says. "You get to a point where you just shut down." 'Drink spiked' Such work was both illegal and dangerous. Sometimes clients who did not want to pay would lock him in their car, he says, and not let him out until he gave them their money back. He says he was also raped at a hotel, after his drink was spiked. "When I [arrived], there was one person," he says, "when I woke up, I [was naked] on the bed, sprawled out with four men naked around me... masturbating and everything." He feared what they would do to him if he tried to leave, but says they were so confident he would not contact police that they just let him walk away. "They just literally let me leave normally, not even worried about if I was going to say anything - they just literally didn't care," he says. Tyler says many sex workers choose not to contact the authorities as they are "afraid that people are going to be like, 'Well, you're a sex worker, it's your own fault.' "I think because I'm a guy they [would] think it's not as bad as a woman being raped, but it's exactly the same." Greater Manchester Police's Det Ch Supt Shaun Donnellan says the force is aware "male rape in particular is under-reported" and encourages any victims to come forward. "We work tirelessly to get justice for anyone who has suffered and... work closely with [charity] Survivors Manchester to support any men who make a report to us," he adds. Tyler now has a traditional job and does sex work only occasionally, advertising online. At the time of his alleged rape, he did not to go to the police.

The Open 2019: Guide to golf championship at Royal Portrush

Summary: The countdown is over, the Open is here.

Golf's oldest championship runs from Thursday to Sunday at Royal Portrush. The Open is played every year at a course around the UK and it is returning to Northern Ireland after a 68-year absence. Here's a guide to the hotly-anticipated championship, from its history and the Claret jug to star attractions and travel arrangements. What is The Open? Royal Portrush 2019 is the 148th Open, which traces its roots to 1860. Back then, eight professional golfers assembled at Prestwick in Scotland for a tournament to determine who would be the champion golfer. The Open at Royal Portrush 237,750spectators 156golfers 148th championship 68years since NI hosted £80mboost to economy The winner was to receive the Challenge Belt, a prize crafted from red Moroccan leather and worth £25. The Open still attracts the world's best players, though the winner receives a smidgen more these days - he'll lift the Claret Jug, earn the title Champion Golfer of the Year and pocket more than a million pounds. For the golfing amateurs out there, the Claret Jug is a much-coveted piece of silverware. The trophy was first awarded in 1872 after the belt was permanently claimed by Young Tom Morris - he had won three years in a row and thus the right to wear it forevermore. Quiz fans take note - the championship is organised by The R&A, which stands for Royal and Ancient (Golf Club of St Andrews). Where is it being held? It is a truth universally acknowledged that everyone in Northern Ireland has to visit Portrush and the north coast at least once a year. Portrush is a seaside holiday resort near the Giant's Causeway and to the Northern Irish, it is synonymous with Barry's (an amusement arcade), rocks (of the boiled sweet kind) and beaches (usually in the driving rain). It is also home to world-renowned North West 200 motorcycle road race and Royal Portrush, a links golf course founded in 1888. The Open Championship has always been played on a links course and links courses are basically far less manufactured and mostly found on the coast. The Dunluce course at Portrush, which is the one the Open players will take on, is rated as one of the most challenging and spectacular links courses in the world. Only once before, in 1951, has the tournament made it to these shores, with flamboyant Englishman Max Faulkner clinching the win. Bringing it back was in no small part due to the success of Northern Ireland's own stars - Rory McIlroy, Darren Clarke and Graeme McDowell. When does it all tee off? Although the golf tournament runs from 18-21 July, the players have a few days beforehand to get used to the course. Saturday 14 July was the first official day of Open week, as the first of four training days, which are great opportunities for fans to get close to the action and the players themselves. There are 156 players in Thursday's opening field, many of whom are household names - who hasn't heard of Tiger Woods? After Thursday and Friday's opening two rounds, 36 holes, the field will be cut to 70 and those golfers will compete for the trophy on Saturday and Sunday. How do I get tickets? Bad news first. The four tournament days (Thursday 18 to Sunday 21 July) are sold out, with 237,750 spectators expected - more than any other Open except for the 2000 spectacle at St Andrews, which drew in 239,000 fans. Additional tickets were made available in April after the original bank of tickets sold in record time. VIP packages were available at upwards of £750 per person, but have now sold out. How do I get there? With such a large number of spectators from around the world due to descend on the small town, the logistics of getting them all in and out are huge. To minimise congestion, organisers have urged people to consider public transport. Translink is Northern Ireland's public transport provider and bus, coach and train services are available for spectators. There will be enhanced capacity on normal services plus additional capacity. Advance tickets are limited so book online as soon as possible to ensure your preferred departure time. There will be no car parking available at Royal Portrush or in the immediate area. All public parking will be provided at managed Park and Ride sites, which will be signposted on the day. Spectators are advised to turn off their satellite navigation systems and follow the appropriate signage. A cycle path will be available close to the golf club, and there's an official helicopter landing site at the Open should that be your preferred choice of travel. Follow @Translink_NI #OpenTravel on Twitter for latest updates. What can spectators expect? There are thousands of seats located in stands dotted around the course, including at the 18th green and at the practice ground. Away from the sporting drama and celebrity players, there's plenty on offer for fans of all ages. The spectator village will be offering food and drink, a dedicated children's play area and giant TV screens. There is no dress code in public areas, you can bring your own food and drink, and no dogs are allowed (with the exception of guide dogs). There are a number of rules when it comes to mobile phones - all devices must be in silent mode at all times and calls must be placed or received in so-called mobile device zones. You're not allowed to film videos on championship days, nor take photos of players while they are taking shots. The Open has joined the war against single-use plastics so remember to bring a refillable bottle, which can be topped up at free water stations. Also, it is worth noting there's a no re-admission policy which means you cannot leave and return on the same day using the same ticket. There's more spectator advice on the Open website. What about accommodation? What people have been charging to rent out their properties in the area has become the stuff of legend in Northern Ireland. But there is still some room at the inn and the official Open Accommodation Bureau is a handy place to check options. These include the Open Camping Village, hosted by Ulster University's Coleraine Campus, which offers pre-erected tents, a campers' clubhouse and glamping bell tents for those in need of a bit more luxury. Where can I follow it? The Open will be beamed into an estimated 600 million homes worldwide. Follow ball-by-ball commentary on BBC Radio 5 live and the BBC Sport website.

Man cleared of herbicide death of bodybuilder

Summary: A man accused of killing a bodybuilder who drank herbicide at a gym in High Wycombe has been found not guilty of manslaughter.

Sean Cleathero, 28, died in 2012 after drinking the herbicide, dinitrophenol. A jury at the Old Bailey cleared Jamie Chivers, 44, of Spring Gardens Road, High Wycombe, of manslaughter on Monday. Chivers had already admitted perverting the course of justice and supplying anabolic steroids, a class C drug. Mr Cleathero, from High Wycombe, died in hospital on 16 October, hours after drinking the liquid. Dinitrophenol (DNP) is not a controlled drug because it is used as an insecticide or herbicide, but is unfit for human consumption. Sentencing will be carried out at a later date. Two other men had already been cleared of manslaughter.

Guernsey bus services 'not meeting needs'

Summary: The managing director of Guernsey's bus service has partly agreed with criticism the island's transport system does not meet the needs of residents.

The claims were made in the minimum income standards survey last week. The survey suggested every household required a car in order to live a normal life. Hannah Beacom, from Island Coachways, said she hoped politicians would use the survey's findings in future discussions with the company. The survey was commissioned by the Social Security and Housing Departments. Ms Beacom said she agreed with criticism by some respondents in the survey that the bus timetable was not always convenient for everyone. Motoring costs, the report noted, were lower in Guernsey due to the lack of MoT inspections and cheaper fuel.

Waiting for international justice in Serbia

Summary: The acquittal of former Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj of war crimes, coupled with the recent acquittal of two Croatian generals, has revived suspicions in Serbia that the international court in The Hague is biased against them.

By Guy De LauneyBBC News, Belgrade On the drive into Novi Sad you can pick up a ghost on the airwaves. Radio Krajina is a taste of their lost home for the Croatian Serbs who now live in Serbia's third-largest city. There are requests, phone-ins and plenty of turbo-folk, the mash-up of traditional Balkan music and electronic beats that reached its peak popularity during the conflict of the 1990s. It was the soundtrack to the end for the long-standing Serb community in Croatia's Krajina region. In August 1995, more than 200,000 people fled before, during and after Operation Storm - a massive military push by Croatian forces. They came over the border in a ragged convoy of cars, lorries and tractors, carrying whatever possessions and livestock they could. Many ended up settling in Novi Sad and the surrounding region of Vojvodina. 'Disappointing verdict' Almost two decades later the refugees still come through the doors of the Humanitarian Centre for Integration and Toleration in the city centre. Some clutch plans and land titles for their former homes. A few dream of returning - most just hope to sell up so they can improve their lives in Serbia. Dusan Starcevic is one of them. He says he walked for 11 days with his pregnant wife and infant son after their car broke down as they left Croatia in 1995. Once a judge, he now practises law in Novi Sad - though his jacket and shirt suggest that either he does not care for expensive clothes, or he simply cannot afford them. "Everything has gone," he says, holding back tears, before insisting that he no longer wants to talk about the past. But he is keen to discuss recent events at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague. In particular, the decision of the appeal court to acquit two Croatian generals previously convicted of conspiring to drive Serbs out of Krajina. "This verdict is very disappointing and inexplicable," says Mr Starcevic. "As a human being, I'm convinced that relations between people, states and groups are based on ethics and logic. This verdict is a severe attack on both of those." But he admits the decision was not a complete surprise. Like many Serbs, Mr Starcevic is not convinced of the impartiality of the ICTY. The acquittal of the generals means that no Croatians have been convicted of crimes against Serbs during the conflict. Faded hopes The 1995 offensive followed years of conflict between ethnic Serb nationalists and the newly-independent state of Croatia. In 1990-1991 Serbs in Krajina declared their loyalty to the Serbian government led by Slobodan Milosevic and got help from elements in the Yugoslav federal army. Croatia is set to join the European Union next year, and the cynical view here is that the Hague verdict ensures a clean slate. But it leaves Croatian Serbs who suffered during the conflict without justice - or much hope of it ever coming. The founder of the Humanitarian Centre is another Croatian Serb - though Ratko Bubalo left a year before Operation Storm. He offers smiles and a glass of home-made schnapps, before explaining the plight of the refugees. His organisation has dealt with 130,000 of them since 1995. This does not just have local significance - it might shake Europe in the long term. "This does not just have local significance - it might shake Europe in the long term." "They are a very vulnerable part of the population. Sixty-five percent of them don't have resolved housing and there are still some people in refugee centres." Mr Bubalo is still trying to help the refugees recover their former properties - not just in Croatia but Kosovo and Bosnia as well. The proceeds of a sale could make a big difference to the lives of the displaced families. But he says they are no longer expecting much in the way of satisfaction from the ICTY. "Today it is difficult to talk about the tribunal. All hope for international justice faded away. This does not just have local significance - it might shake Europe in the long term." Skourta Redjepi and her daughter Djila admit they no longer follow the tribunal at all. Members of a Roma family, they lived in Jablanica, where the Kosovo Liberation Army established a notorious base. One day in 1998 a masked man came to the family's door and told them they had five minutes to leave. Djila says she hasn't seen her father since. "We could never return to Kosovo - how could we?" she asks, rubbing her face. "We are afraid to go back. There is no justice." New approaches In its latest decision, the tribunal cleared Kosovo's former prime minister Ramush Haradinaj of any involvement in atrocities at the Jablanica camp. This prompted celebrations in Pristina - but anger in Belgrade. "Another slap in the face" was the pithy analysis of local media outlet B92. The recent verdicts have left Serbs with little faith in the tribunal's ability to find justice for their suffering in the conflicts of the nineties. Under the Milosevic administration, Serbian forces committed serious crimes in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo - and many of its former leaders have gone on trial in The Hague. But thousands of Serb civilians were also killed, and the ICTY has been rather less successful in holding to account those responsible. As founder of Belgrade's Humanitarian Law Centre, Natasa Kandic campaigned to bring the perpetrators of the atrocities of the Balkans conflict to justice. She handed evidence to the ICTY which helped to convict the Serb perpetrators of the Srebrenica massacres in Bosnia. But now she says the tribunal has failed to help victims come to terms with what happened - and that a new approach is needed for there to be any hope of reconciliation in the region. "We need new thinking - we have to forget hostility and see all victims as equal. It is true that more Muslims, Croats and Albanians were killed than Serbs. But the Serbs who were killed also deserve justice." It now seems unlikely that this will come through the ICTY. But Natasa Kandic believes that moving beyond a judicial process is the best answer to preventing future conflicts. "We need a non-judicial body which will deal with victims, organise public testimony and show respect for all victims. That would change the current culture in our relations to victims. Today all societies in the region only have respect for their own victims." "Without empathy for others, it is impossible to build a future, rule of law and reconciliation."

Eat out to help out: 'We've had 15,000 bookings'

Summary: "A lot of people have used the subsidy as the first time they're going out again - it takes once or twice venturing out of the home to get them to feel comfortable," says Will Beckett, the co-founder of steakhouse chain Hawksmoor.

By Mary-Ann RussonBusiness reporter, BBC News Six of his restaurants have received a combined 15,000 bookings for the 13 days of the "Eat out to help out" scheme, while two sites remain closed. "The most obvious way in my mind that it's helping restaurants, is that it's helping people to learn to go out again," Mr Beckett told the BBC. The government promotion, which launched this week, gives people a discount of up to 50% up to a maximum of £10 when eating or drinking soft drinks in a participating restaurant or other food establishment every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in August. It's early days, but there was an average rise in visits to retail destinations of 2.3% on Tuesday 4 August and Wednesday 5 August, compared with the previous week, according to industry analysts Springboard. Meanwhile, restaurant booking website Opentable found that the number of diners making reservations jumped 10% on 3 August, compared to the same day in 2019. "Footfall results for the three days from Monday to Wednesday indicates that the 'Eat Out to Help Out' scheme has benefited retail destinations post 6pm, more than at lunchtime. Also, smaller towns across the UK gained a larger uplift in footfall than large city centres," says Springboard insights director Diane Wehrle. "Over the three-day period, footfall rose in retail destinations across the UK by 18.9% post 6pm, versus a rise of 9.6% at lunch time (12pm to 2pm). "And in market towns across the UK the rise in footfall of 25% from the same three days in the week before was a third higher than the rise of 19.2% in regional cities." • 'Eat out to help out will definitely affect the weekend' • Eat out to help out: Coronavirus scheme offering UK diners 50% off begins • Coronavirus: How can I use the 'eat out to help out scheme'? Despite the uptick in business, Hawksmoor' Mr Beckett expects the scheme to cause a "slight displacement" where "some of the demand moves to Monday-Wednesday, from Thursday-Sunday". The extra bookings have been helpful to the business, but only to a certain extent. "We've had 50% more covers, but we didn't make 50% more revenue, as our spend per cover is high," says Mr Beckett. "Even if people are coming out less frequently than previously, even if they're spending less than before, the key thing is they're coming out, and that's got to have a positive impact on the economy overall." Other restaurant chains are more cautious about the impact the scheme will have overall. The Restaurant Group - which owns a portfolio of restaurants and pubs including Wagamama, Frankie & Benny's, Chiquito, Garfunkel's Restaurant and Brunning & Price - remains circumspect. "We have seen a very strong customer response to the scheme, but we are not complacent and the real proof of the pudding will be when the scheme finishes at the end of August," says a spokesman for The Restaurant Group. 'Too early to tell' UK Hospitality, an industry group representing the sector, said it's too early to tell if the scheme could lead to consumers changing the days of the week when they prefer to dine out. "Anecdotally, it looked like business was good on Thursday evening, so hopefully demand, buoyed by the good weather, will still be strong over the weekend," says chief executive Kate Nicholls. Luke Davis is chief executive of IW Capital, a UK venture capital firm that focuses on high growth companies, including the hospitality sector. He thinks a lot more needs to be done to help the hospitality industry survive. "Gimmicky schemes like the ones we're seeing at the moment aren't going to stop the carnage," says Mr Davis, who owns bar and restaurant Rockwater in Hove, and is one of the lead shareholders in pub and restaurant chain Brewhouse and Kitchen. "The sad truth is that people are still scared, the damage has already been done. People are still nervous [to go out to dine]." Spending data from Barclaycard suggests Mr Davis may be right. Although total value spend in UK restaurants between Monday and Wednesday was up 9.3% on the same period the week before, it is still 11.2% below the same time last year. Mr Davis strongly believes that the only way to solve the problem is to inject more investment into the hospitality sector. 'Investment needed' He is particularly critical of a change of legislation in March 2018 that has meant the government's Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) is no longer applicable to the hospitality industry "at large". "People were really annoyed about this, it meant that the net investment into the sector decreased," said Mr Davis. "A real quick win and something that would give longevity to the sector would be to encourage investment, allow hospitality businesses to qualify for EIS." The EIS is a government scheme that offers tax reliefs to individual investors who buy new shares in companies that qualify. A HM Treasury spokesperson said: "Since the start of this crisis, we have provided a wealth of support for the hospitality sector... [including] a 15% cut in VAT, cash grants worth up to £25,000 per business property, 100% business rates relief, eviction protection and tax deferrals." Mr Davis said that he has recently been contacted by several individuals in the hospitality industry, asking him to raise funds to purchase distressed assets. "To bring the sector back to life, it's going to need a lot of investment. The government isn't going to be able to stop the rot. You do need people to come along and buy up these assets, people who are willing to take the risk," he added. "But it would still be a risk, as no one knows what is going to happen. There is no guarantee."

Climate change impacts and adaptation

Summary: The UN's climate panel has published the second part of its long-awaited report. The document by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) considered the impacts of a warming world, vulnerabilities in human and natural systems and the potential for adaptation.

What are the big impacts of climate change? Human-induced warming is likely to lead to large-scale and potentially irreversible changes in physical systems such as the oceans and the cryosphere (regions covered by snow or ice). Projections suggest an increase in extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall, more intense storms and heat-waves. Melting ice will contribute to sea level rise, with consequences for coastal communities, ecosystems and cities. Ocean acidification is likely to have widespread effects in marine species, including the loss of coral communities. For a more detailed overview of science behind these changes, read the Q&A on climate change. How important is adaption? Even if emissions of greenhouse gases were stabilised soon, climate change and its effects would continue for some time afterwards. This will require adaptation, particularly in developing countries, which are likely to be hit hardest, but also elsewhere. For example, planning for sea-level increases remains a key challenge for governments of countries with vulnerable coastlines, including several with major cities at risk from rising waters. New York, for example, unveiled a multi-billion-dollar plan to protect the city following Hurricane Sandy. But other urban centres are at greater risk, and are located in countries that have less money to spend on adaptation. How could water resources be affected? Future changes in freshwater availability are likely to affect sustainable development across the world. Water supplies are likely to increase at higher latitudes and in parts of the wet tropics. But an increase in heavy rainfall in some of these regions is also likely to bring with it many negative effects, such as a raised risk of flooding and the waterlogging of soils. Over mid-latitudes, and the dry tropics - where water supplies are already stressed - resources are likely to become even scarcer. Sea-level rise could also adversely affect groundwater resources by leading to the intrusion of salt water into coastal aquifers. The melting of small glaciers also poses problems. In the Andes, glacial melt water supports river flow and water supply for tens of millions of people during the long dry season. And ecosystems? Global warming can force species to move to higher latitudes and higher altitudes where temperatures are better for their chances of survival. It can also cause changes to seasonal events in the life cycle of a species. These include migration and mating, in the case of animals, and blooming, in the case of plant species. Mismatches in the timing of these events can lead to serious consequences. For example, when migrating birds arrive either before or after food sources are present, it can negatively affect their growth and survival. What about food supplies? Crop yields are likely to increase at higher latitudes under some scenarios of global average temperature increase - and depending on the crop. At lower latitudes, especially the seasonally dry tropics, crop yields are likely to fall - even for small temperature increases, increasing the risk of hunger. The increased frequency of both droughts and floods is expected to adversely affect agricultural production. Advances in plant science could help increase yields while at the same time reducing the use of fertiliser and pesticides - though the use of genetic modification to generate more suitable crop varieties remains controversial. And other strategies such as modernising irrigation could help farmers make the most efficient use of water. But some experts emphasise the importance of tackling food supply problems through societal approaches, such as influencing behaviour, consumption and expectations. What type of health impacts can we expect? Climate change is likely to affect the health of human populations in a variety of ways. Increased levels of malnutrition will have implications for children's growth and development. People face a greater risk of death, disease and injury due to heat-waves, floods, storms, fires and droughts. Other effects include an altered burden of water-borne diseases; an increased frequency of cardio-respiratory illness due to higher concentrations of ground level ozone, and the movement of some infectious disease carriers into new regions. There might be some benefits, too: parasites such as malaria could also contract in some present parts of their range, and some regions might see a reduction in deaths from cold exposure. What can industry expect? The benefits and costs of climate change for industry, settlement, and society will vary widely by location and scale. While there may be some positive effects in temperate and high-latitude regions, other parts of the world remain extremely vulnerable. The most at-risk industries, settlements and societies are those in coastal and river floodplains, those whose economies are closely linked with climate-sensitive resources, and those in areas prone to extreme weather events, especially where rapid urbanisation is occurring. Poor communities can be especially affected because they tend to be concentrated in relatively high-risk areas, have more limited coping capacities, and can be more dependent on climate-sensitive resources such as local water and food supplies.

Petition to save Redditch A&E department signed by 4,000

Summary: A petition opposing the potential closure of an accident and emergency unit in Worcestershire has been signed by 4,000 people, organisers say.

A&E could close at the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch as part of a shake-up of NHS services in the county. Protesters were out in Redditch earlier to collect more signatures. Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust said it needs to save £50m by 2015. Services will also be hit in Worcester and Kidderminster. A series of public meetings are being held to explain the proposals and to discuss six proposals put forward, four of which recommend closing an A&E department.

Norovirus bug hits six wards at Wrexham Maelor Hospital

Summary: Wrexham Maelor Hospital has closed six wards to new admissions due to an outbreak of the norovirus sickness bug.

About 36 patients had symptoms on Monday, said officials at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) which manages the hospital. No other hospitals in the area are reporting similar problems. The spokesperson said the diarrhoea and vomiting virus was usually more active during the winter months. He advised people who had suffered from symptoms to avoid visiting hospital patients for at least 48 hours after their symptoms have ended. People who had symptoms and are due to attend hospital for appointments are asked to telephone for advice.

Moonlight writer on 'envelopegate' and this year's Oscars

Summary: "We would never have lived down the conspiracy theories."

By Lauren TurnerEntertainment reporter Tarell Alvin McCraney is reflecting on so-called envelopegate one year on - the mix-up that led to the wrong film, La La Land, initially being named best picture at last year's Oscars. The playwright says that now, with hindsight, he's glad things transpired as they did, with two groups of cast and crew taking to the stage to pick up the Academy Award. "Imagine if before they had made the announcement from the incorrect envelope, the presenters realised it was a mistake, stopped and said, 'No, we have the wrong envelope… hold on'. "And then made everyone wait five minutes (which really feels like an hour on live TV) for them to get the right envelope and then announce who had won best picture. We probably would have never lived down the conspiracy theories. "Thankfully it didn't happen that way but I was still shocked and surprised and happy and confused as everyone watching at home and at the event." Videos of the moment it became clear the wrong film had been announced are excruciatingly awkward to watch. You see McCraney's face as the cast and crew make their way to the stage at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles - confused at first, then shell-shocked. "I think there are a few clips on YouTube where you can see my reaction as it happened," he says. Envelope mishaps aside, McCraney had plenty to celebrate on the night. He had already picked up the best adapted screenplay Oscar, along with Moonlight's director Barry Jenkins, for In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue - the play the film was based on. Which takes us on to this year's Oscars, taking place on 4 March. It turns out McCraney is a big fan of one British actor in particular. "Sadly, I haven't had a moment to see the films nominated for best picture," he says. "But Daniel Kaluuya is nominated for best actor for his role in Get Out. "I hope everyone in the UK is as excited about that as I am! I saw him in Sucker Punch at the Royal Court a few years ago and ...wow. Huge congrats to him." McCraney has been back in the UK himself for the revival of The Brothers Size at London's Young Vic. It was 10 years ago that it was first staged, at the same venue. Not much has been changed on the play itself in that time he says - despite much changing for McCraney. The Brothers Size tells the story of Ogun and Oshooshi Size - the two brothers of the title - and Oshoosi's former cell mate Elegba. They pace the stage, which is bare but for a chalk circle they draw at the start of the 90-minute play - as well as setting out the stage, they also read out the directions, dance and sing. It's had four and five star reviews - The Guardian calling it "magical and mysterious", The Times describing it as "bewitching" and the Evening Standard saying it "combines urgently rhythmic dialogue with the lingering strangeness of a dream". "The feeling of nowness is more powerful than nostalgia," he explains. "It doesn't feel like it's been 10 years. "It feels like we worked on a play before and now we are coming back to do some vital work - telling stories that we feel are urgent. "The building is more alive with this play in a way that I have never seen. It's thrilling." 'Oppression continues' That urgent story he is telling is about reconciliation and release as well as the bonds between brothers, be it of blood or of friendship. It has echoes of Yoruba mythology - including Ogun being named after the Yoruba god of hard work - and bad dreams suffered by his younger brother as he struggles to adjust to life outside his prison cell resonate throughout the play. Set in Louisiana - in a time that's never explicitly mentioned in the script - so how is it relevant to London today? In many ways, says McCraney. "The oppression of people of colour continues," he says. "The prison and rehabilitation process is deeply flawed. "We know more of that now than we did 10 years ago." While his first play, it's now the second - chronologically, in terms of the narrative - in his Brother/Sister plays trilogy, along with In The Red and Brown Water and Marcus; Or the Secret of Sweet. And it's just been announced that McCraney is making his Broadway debut with Choir Boy, early next year. "I really enjoy the play and have always wanted to revisit it with a deeper lens," he says. "The Brothers Size was a piece that I never wanted to undo or tinker with, it's play, like In the Red and Brown Water, where I am constantly discovering more about it the more I allow collaborators to bring their ideas to the writing." As for now? McCraney is mostly teaching - as well as learning from his own students, he says. "I really enjoy it," he says. Asked how Moonlight's success has changed things for him, he says: "It hasn't changed a great deal. I still teach, I still write. "People ask me more questions about award ceremonies, but I count it all as joy."

Who What Why: How durable is a fingerprint?

Summary: American Hans Galassi lost several fingers in a wakeboarding accident several months ago. Now one of them has been found in a trout - and identified as Galassi's from its fingerprints. So how long do fingerprints last?

The vast majority of people are born with a unique set of fingerprints which remain the same for life. These patterns, known as friction ridges by experts, are found not only on our finger-tips but also on the flanges of our fingers, on our palms, our toes and on the soles of our feet. The patterns are permanent, but can wear down. Builders who lay bricks and people who frequently wash dishes by hand lose some of the detail. Once they stop these activities, the ridges will grow back. As fans of crime movies will know, from time to time people have tried to change their fingerprints patterns artificially. A deep cut through the outer layer of the skin, the epidermis, and down to the dermis leaves a scar that will change a fingerprint, but not make it any less unique. People have also sought to erase their fingerprints by burning the finger-tips with fire and acid, as the notorious 1930s American gangster John Dillinger did. It works for a while but the skin grows back. Another criminal, Robert Phillips, famously grafted skin from his chest on to his fingers to erase his fingerprints - but he was identified from the prints of his palms. Others have tried smoothing their finger-tips with glue and nail varnish. Again they were caught from palm prints. Friction ridges are remarkably long lasting even after death, says fingerprint expert Allen Bayle, author of the UK's standard police manual on dead hands. "If a hand is found in water you will see that the epidermis starts to come away from the dermis like a glove. This sounds gruesome but if a hand has been badly damaged, I cut the epidermis off and put my own hand inside that glove and try to fingerprint it like that," says Bayle. "Some boys we get out of the water, the fish have been at them already and the fish will have pecked at the epidermis. But you can still get ridge detail from the underside of the epidermis. And if that has gone, then you can do the dermis. For every ridge you have on the epidermis, you have two on the dermis - we call it a tramline effect." The speed at which a hand disintegrates in water depends on many things, not least the temperature of the water itself. "If the water is very cold, it could stay for a long time," says Bayle. And the body of a trout, the fish that swallowed Galassi's finger, is just as cold as the water it swims in. Galassi's finger was found in the trout's digestive tract - why hadn't it been digested? We shall never know how long after the accident the fish ate the finger, but Bayle thinks even if the thick layer of epidermis had been digested, Galassi's finger could still have been identified from its dermis. "We can cast [the finger], for example in latex, and then we can ink the cast. Or we can ink the dermis and roll it on a fingerprint form. When we have got some ridge detail then we can put it on the computer." In the case of Galassi, Idaho police took a day searching case files and reports to narrow down where the finger could have come from. They then fingerprinted the stray digit and sent it to the state police forensic lab where technicians were able to identify its owner. "One of the last things to disappear when you die are your fingerprints," says Bayle. "They're very durable." Hans Galassi spoke to Newshour on the BBC World Service

Yevgeny Roizman: A macho mayor at war with drug addicts

Summary: Newly elected mayor Yevgeny Roizman's tough approach to drug addiction is popular with voters in the city of Yekaterinburg, Russia's fourth-largest city. But others attack him for his criminal past and his willingness even now to break the law in order to achieve his goals.

By Jamie CoomarasamyBBC World Service, Yekaterinburg "Manchester United! Barcelona! Real Madrid! Younaya!" The boys limbering up on Plotinka embankment in Yekaterinburg yell out the names of their favourite football teams. They play for Younaya, in case you're wondering. But this Saturday morning, they are on team Roizman. They're among several dozen woolly-hatted joggers braving sub-zero temperatures, to join the city's new mayor - Yevgeny Roizman - on his weekly run. He arrives on time - an athletic-looking 51-year-old, with a determined face, greying hair and a bright red hooded tracksuit emblazoned with his name. Feeding ducks with the boys before they set off, he's more like a school teacher than a mayor, but then the man who defeated the Kremlin-backed candidate of the United Russia party in September's election, is neither a conventional politician, nor a conventional opposition figure. A jailed con-man at 18, he went on to run a successful jewellery business, before setting up a private foundation to fight drugs. Its notoriously harsh methods reflect the deeply disparaging view of drug addicts he still holds. "They're not humans, they turn into animals, they walk around smiling and dribbling," he tells me. "Actually they turn into plants, not animals. Plants." For the past 15 years, his City Without Drugs foundation has run a network of rehabilitation centres. Until recently, patients spent their first month chained to beds and deprived of food - allowed just a quarter of a slice of bread three times a day, and a bit of onion. After complaints from human rights activists, the regime has softened a little. On a visit to three of the centres, we found growling guard dogs and barred windows, but patients apparently ready to accept the constraints. One of them, 26-year-old Andrei - who'd dropped out of his chemistry studies after becoming addicted to a form of synthetic marijuana - calls Roizman a "great man". "He was elected democratically, and I hope he will be the future of our country." The Roizman centres' success is taken for granted in Yekaterinburg, but there is no data to compare their rates of relapse with other treatments. "Anyone who quotes facts and percentages is lying," Roizman says. "Thousands of parents thank me for saving their children." But in a dingy cafe, two recovering drug users - among the few prepared to speak out against the newly-elected mayor and unwilling to be identified by their real names - tell a different story. Both are convinced that the rate of recovery is very low. "Kolya" has stayed at the centres more than 10 times. The system relies on fear, he says. "Staff beat up patients to find out where they get their drugs. Then they raid those flats, confiscate the drugs and hand some over to the police. They keep the rest for themselves." "Natasha" says she was prevented from leaving when her scheduled stint was over. "I was furious and kept dreaming of shooting up again. I escaped, and those who helped me were brutally punished." When asked about these allegations, the mayor categorically denies them, saying his staff only ever attend police raids as witnesses. "Drug addicts can tell you anything," he adds. Roizman has other interests besides tackling drug addiction. He opened Russia's first private icon museum in the centre of Yekaterinburg, where visitors coo over his connection with Russian culture. But his passion for icons has landed him in legal difficulties. During the mayoral campaign police confiscated 26 icons, which they said had been stolen, but which he says he'd been given to restore by a church that works closely with one of his rehabilitation centres. Crunching on cheese and crackers in a side room of his museum, he tells me he feels under attack. "We've been restoring and protecting the church for the past eight years. Why do I need papers? To show to God? I am feeling a lot of pressure right now, but I am sure I will survive because I have popular support," he says. As we speak, I notice an apparently incongruous painting of a young Vladimir Putin propped up against the wall. Or maybe not so incongruous. Yevgeny Roizman insists he is not part of the opposition. He answers questions about Russia's president in a respectful tone. "I would not ever want to be in Putin's place, I have no idea how he does such a difficult job. This is a huge country, it is so complicated, and I do not envy him," he says. It's easy to see similarities between the two men, in their embrace of sobriety and fitness - and in their sharp contrast with the faceless bureaucrats who dominate Russian politics. Putin slips prison vernacular into his speech, to connect with the working class, but Roizman is a genuine ex-convict - and doesn't hide it. In fact, he says, prison is a good learning experience for anyone. He angrily denies regular allegations of links to a crime syndicate, but - in contrast to Putin's pledge to create "a dictatorship of the law" - he clearly doesn't feel constrained by legislation. "If your priority is to obey the law - that's one thing. If your priority is to save people - that's a different matter. For me, saving people is more important than obeying the law," he says. In Yekaterinburg, the mayor has less power than in many Russian cities. That hasn't stopped voters, who are putting faith in his can-do attitude, turning to Roizman for help. In his large mayoral office, dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, he listens to a group of residents at risk of losing their homes to developers. He sympathises, but, to the evident frustration of some, can only promise a blogging campaign and encouragement with street protests. But one of those present, a young teacher called Yegor Moskvin, who learned English from watching the US TV series Friends, believes Roizman is there for him. "He's like a breath of fresh air for this city," he beams after the meeting. "He will look at our problems right here, right now." But what of Yevgeny Roizman's longer term prospects? Given the murky nature of Russian politics, a series of questions hovers over Yekaterinburg. Is the new mayor a trial balloon for the Kremlin - a way for those holding the federal levers of power to find out which buttons politicians need to push to gain genuine popular support? Are the legal and media attacks on him an attempt to limit his authority, to put him in his place before he gains wider power? Whatever the case, the rise of this peculiarly Russian polymath says much about the state of the country - a place whose citizens are yearning to be heard, fed up with their current leaders and willing to trust someone who offers an alternative, without asking too many questions. Jamie Coomarasamy will present a special report from Yekaterinburg on Newshour on Monday 28 October 2013 from 12:00 GMT. Follow @BBCNewsMagazine on Twitter and on Facebook

Minecraft awarded GameCity videogame arts prize

Summary: Minecraft is the winner of a new arts award for computer games.

By Leo KelionTechnology reporter The prize was announced at the finale of the GameCity videogame culture festival in Nottingham. The title is the work of an independent Swedish company, Mojang. Players have to build objects out of blocks in an open environment. The game was selected over other releases including Valve's Portal 2, Southend Interactive's Ilomilo and Game Freak's Pokemon Black. "It's a great honour to be compared to those games," said Markus Persson, Mojang's founder. "Winning this award helps us to try to make Minecraft the best game it can be." Nearly four million people have already bought the title online, despite the fact it is still in beta. It is scheduled for a formal release next month. "It just wasn't like anything else... it felt like it had an expanding life of its own. It had an organic nature," one of the judges, Ed Hall, told the BBC. "It's simplistic and addictive, and there's an element of beauty in what you are doing." Culturally confident GameCity's director, Iain Simons, said he was "delighted" by the choice. His festival is now in its sixth year. Over that time he says he has seen a rise in the average age of gamers, and more women attracted to the activity. "There is a much broader constituency of people playing games," he said. "They have become more normalised, they have been more culturally confident and this prize, and the festival, is very much about exploring that confidence." Part of the phenomenon is linked to the rise of smartphones. Today's handsets helped popularise the kind of sophisticated games that used to be restricted to dedicated mobile games machines, and larger home consoles. Advances in computer processors and graphics chips undoubtedly offer developers a bigger palette to choose from. However, Mr Simon does not think the developments make any difference to the designers' status as artists. "I think that technology is a real red herring. What technology is driving forward is the ability for games to look more real. To look like what a triple-A blockbuster would look like," he said. "I don't think that is in itself something that makes them art. Otherwise we wouldn't cry at Bambi. It's not about photorealism." The contest's judges appear to agree, admitting they picked the most basic looking title on offer. The diverse 13-person jury included Dr Who actress Frances Barber, Labour MP Tom Watson and the artistic director of London's Southbank centre, Jude Kelly. Enhancing life Not everyone was convinced of Minecraft's merits at first. The composer, Nitin Sawhney, who was also on the panel, was critical of its soundtrack. But ultimately neither the look of the game nor its music proved fatal to its chances. "[We asked] was there one that we felt was head and shoulder above the rest? Was there merit in the game enhancing life and enjoyment beyond just playing the game itself? Could it make your view of the world better?" said Mr Hall. "Could a computer game be viewed as something that wouldn't be sneered at in the future?" Minecraft does involve traditional staples of gaming, including night-roaming monsters and the chance to fight multiplayer battles online. However, it was ultimately selected on the basis of its mood and ability to encourage gamers to become creative. "It's the broadest definition of art that you can have," said Mr Hall. "But computer games are definitely artistic. There are images and storylines that engage you, ideas that confuse your mind for hours and a whole package that keeps you coming back for days."

Bestival wins best major festival at UK Festival Awards

Summary: Bestival has picked up best major festival at the UK Festival Awards.

The awards took place at the O2 Indigo last night (18 November) with Radio 1's Rob da Bank, who's behind Bestival, also picking up best family festival for Camp Bestival.

Making a friendlier Raspberry Pi

Summary: In an office deep in London's trendy Shoreditch, Alex Klein is engaged on a mission. He's assembled a small team - an Israeli, an Italian and a smattering of recent Cambridge maths graduates - to address an important task. They are trying to make the Raspberry Pi more user-friendly.

Rory Cellan-JonesTechnology correspondent@BBCRoryCJon Twitter Mr Klein, a former journalist, had his epiphany while he was trying to set up the cheap educational computer for his seven-year-old cousin. "It was totally impenetrable," he says. "The Raspberry Pi for Dummies guide was 400 pages long. It's an incredible piece of tech, but it's something that needs to be unleashed for normal people." Having tried and failed myself to get a young person interested in Raspberry Pi, I understood what he meant. The computer designed to be put in the hands of every child in Britain to teach them programming has been a huge hit - but mainly with middle-aged men nostalgic about their teenage years playing with a BBC Micro or a ZX Spectrum. Nothing wrong with that, but even the people behind the Pi accept that they need to do more to make it accessible for children - and for parents and teachers. So Klein and his colleagues have spent a year building Kano, a kit which he believes makes Raspberry Pi friendly rather than intimidating. "We think that everyone in the world, no matter how old you are or where you live, should be able to build a computer. It's powered by Raspberry Pi but has the simplicity of a Lego set. You make a computer, you learn code, you have fun." The bare-bones piece of board now comes with a case, a colourful keyboard, cables - and most importantly an operating system designed by the Kano team to get users coding quickly. There's a simple manual - just a few pages rather than that huge For Dummies guide. Raspberry Pi was designed to be more difficult than the turn-it-on and play tablets and smartphones that are in the hands of today's children - but the Kano team aims to get users through the first intimidating barrier so that they can go on and do interesting and creative things with computers. Kano is not a charity, but a business with big ambitions. Klein is lucky enough to have a relative who is one of the biggest names in London's venture capital community. Saul Klein of Index Ventures - father of that seven year old who wanted to build a computer - has helped fund this venture so far. But now its wider appeal is going to be tested. Klein has turned to the crowdfunding site Kickstarter to try to raise $100,000 (£62,000) to finance the first production run of the Kano kit. "Kickstarter is a huge revolution in finance, just as the Raspberry Pi is in computing," he told me. "It gives you the ability to answer to nobody but the people who enjoy your product." Now we will find out how big that crowd is. In Britain, and around the world, the idea that we need to teach children to code has taken root. Organisations like Codecademy, Code Club and CoderDojo have sprung up to take this message into thousands of schools. They provide a software solution - but children respond to something more physical, more tactile. "But what can you do with it?" will often be the first question when you show them a new computer or a programming language. Kano plans to build further kits which would allow Raspberry Pi users to code and build all kinds of things. The team showed me one example, Steve the Robot, built by Matthew Keegan, a recent graduate from Aberystwyth University. (Here's a video I shot of the robot.) Kano isn't the first to try to build a business from Raspberry Pi. Sheffield-based Pimoroni started with a case for the Pi and now offers all kinds of kits. Other firms are offering all types of accessories, software and tutorials. It is heartening to see a British-built and designed computer make so many waves - but there is still a lot of work to be done before the mission to inspire a new wave of computing creativity among children is achieved.

Remembrance Sunday: British armed forces 2015 roll of honour

Summary: With or without major British involvement in wars, the armed forces continually put their lives at risk. The deaths of five servicemen this year are a reminder of the sacrifices involved in serving one's country.

Flight Lieutenant Geraint Roberts An RAF airman from from Rhyl, in north Wales, Flt Lt Geraint Roberts, was one of two British airmen killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan in October. The 44-year-old father-of-two died when the Puma Mk2 aircraft in which he was travelling came down in Kabul. The MoD said the crash was "an accident and not the result of insurgent activity". Flt Lt Roberts joined the RAF in 1988 as an air traffic controller before going on to become Crewman Leader for 230 Squadron at RAF Benson in Oxfordshire. He had served in Bosnia, the Falkland Islands and Iraq. He took great pride in his work "constantly pushing the rest of us and never accepting mediocrity" his friend and colleague Flt Lt Kevin Hare said. His commanding officer, Wing Cdr Toby Sawbridge, paid tribute to "a loving husband and father" and "extremely experienced, loyal and dedicated" airman. Flight Lieutenant Alan Scott Flt Lt Alan Scott, 32, from London, was the other RAF airman killed in the Kabul helicopter crash in October. He studied at Loughborough University before enlisting in the RAF as a pilot in 2006. After graduating from RAF Benson, he was posted to the operational flights of 33 Squadron. Flt Lt Scott, known as Scotty, was undertaking his first operational tour before he progressed to qualification as a tactics instructor. The day after his death, his wife said: "My heart is broken at the fact that such a vivacious, young and amazing person can be taken so cruelly and suddenly." His commanding officer, Wing Cdr Mark Biggadike, paid tribute to a "dependable, intelligent, highly professional and diligent officer and pilot". Lance Corporal Michael Francis Campbell Although Britain ended Afghanistan combat operations just over a year ago, the death of L/Cpl Michael Francis Campbell shows the lasting impact war can have. The British soldier, of Colwyn Bay, north Wales, died in hospital in July from wounds sustained in 2012. He was the 454th UK service person to die as a result of the Afghanistan mission. Colleagues described the 32-year-old as an "outstanding soldier" who was "courageous" and "determined". L/Cpl Campbell was shot in the hip while on patrol with 3rd Battalion, The Royal Welsh, crossing a road in Helmand in April 2012, having been confronted by "accurate, heavy and sustained enemy fire", the MoD said. Members of his convoy returned fire, with L/Cpl Campbell engaging the enemy firing position. "Despite being wounded, L/Cpl Campbell continued to suppress the enemy, drawing fire on to himself so that the remainder of the multiple could cross an open and exposed area to get into better cover," the MoD added. Private Jamie Lee Sawyer As a Royal Logistic Corps Chef for the 2nd Battalion, The Mercian Regiment Battlegroup, Pte Jamie Lee Sawyer died while deployed on a United Nations peacekeeping tour in Cyprus in March. The 20-year-old, known as Jay, was conducting Adventure Training in the Mediterranean Sea. He was involved in a canoeing accident. During his time with the battalion he conducted several training exercises in the UK before being deployed to Cyprus on the six-month United Nations tour. "We will miss his sense of humour and his outlook on life," his mother Tracy said. "Dedicated to the Army, he died doing what he loved and we will all miss him very much." Lt Col Shove Gilby said: "Diligent, hard-working and with a constant smile, he was truly committed to his comrades and a career in the Army." Able Seaman Charles George Warrender Royal Navy sailor Charles Warrender, from North Thoresby, Lincolnshire, was found dead in Seychelles capital Victoria in May. He was serving on Portsmouth-based ship HMS Richmond as part of Operation Kipion in the Indian Ocean. "Charlie was a charismatic and loving young man, who made everyone who met him smile," Mr Warrender's family said, following news of his death. "He was extremely proud to serve in the Royal Navy and was thoroughly enjoying travelling the world, progressing his career as a Marine Engineer." The Royal Navy said they were unable to comment because of an ongoing inquest into his death.

'Blood contamination tore my family apart'

Summary: Thousands of people with haemophilia were infected with HIV and hepatitis as a result of NHS treatments in the 1970s and 80s. But their families are still seeking a public inquiry into the scandal.

By Jim ReedReporter, Victoria Derbyshire programme Tony Farrugia was just 14-years-old when his father Barry died of Aids. Over the next 20 years, two of his four uncles would also die in what was perhaps the worst treatment scandal in the NHS's history. In the 1970s and 80s, thousands of haemophiliacs - like members of Tony's family - were treated with contaminated blood products. Some 4,670 of them were later diagnosed with hepatitis C, while around 1,200 also contracted HIV. Many did not live long enough to be treated with modern drugs. Thirty years later, the survivors and their relatives have told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme they are still fighting for answers. Some are worried that a new support scheme planned by the government could leave them struggling to pay mortgages and bills. Contamination Tony's father Barry was diagnosed with haemophilia - a genetic condition that prevents blood from clotting - as a baby. It took Tony almost 25 years to get hold of his father's medical records after his death. They show that Barry was a mild haemophiliac, whose symptoms could have been managed. He might not have needed to be treated with the blood clotting agent Factor VIII - the cause of the contamination - but it was prescribed anyway. The result was that he was infected with hepatitis B in the late 70s and then with HIV as early as 1980. Entries in the records show that doctors were aware he might have had the virus two years before he was finally told. By 1985, Barry's health had declined rapidly. Tony, then a teenager, was sent away to live with other family members but the new living arrangements did not work out and he was eventually placed in care. In the summer of 1986, he visited his father in hospital for the final time. "He started to lose weight by then," Tony recalls, "a lot of weight - so he was really, really skinny." "I remember my dad asking me for some of my ice cream. I handed it to him, at which point one of the nurses intervened and said 'you can't give him that'. "He had blisters in his mouth which were bleeding. I couldn't share an ice cream with my dad because they had given him Aids," he says. Barry's death in September 1986 split the family apart. Tony went back into care in Luton while his twin brother David went to a separate care home in North London. His older teenage brothers were left to fend for themselves. Family 'haunted' It was not until 2010 that he was reunited with other members of his family. "That was the first time since dad died that we were together again," Tony says. "That's what the [health service] did, they destroyed my dad with these viruses then they watched his family crumble." In the years after Barry's death the family continued to struggle. One of Barry's brothers, Vincent, was killed by Aids passed on through contaminated blood. In 2012, another brother, David, died suddenly of a brain haemorrhage linked to the hepatitis C he had contracted through Factor VIII. Madeline, David's widow, says the contaminated blood scandal has caused "devastation" to her family. "I can put my hand on my heart and tell you I am not the same person [since David's death]. I will never be the same person," she said. "It comes back to haunt you in so many ways." Madeline says the doctors who prescribed Factor VIII "never, ever" told them there was a risk of blood contamination. Angie, Barry's sister, adds: "Treatment shouldn't kill you, should it? Medical treatment shouldn't kill you." The family say they also had to live with the stigma that surrounded Aids in the 1980s. On one occasion, Vincent had "Aids scum" scratched into his car. 'Face up' When he walked into his local cafe one day, everyone else got up and walked out. "It was awful - awful - to see this happen to a person," Angie said. The family are still looking for answers as to why their relatives died and have called for a public inquiry. "All we are after is recognition for the harm which was done. We still haven't got the truth and they haven't given us all the answers," says Tony. "The government can't learn lessons until they face up to what they have done." There have been two previous inquiries. One was privately funded from donations and could not force health officials or ministers to testify. The other only looked at a small number of Scottish victims and did not have the power to summon witnesses from England. The Haemophilia Society is now calling for a full public inquiry into the scandal, something the government has so far ruled out. Victims and their families are also worried that a new financial support scheme currently being planned could leave some worse off. Under the proposals, a widow of a haemophiliac who died from Aids in England will receive a one-off sum of £10,000, compared to a lifetime payment of £27,750 a year in Scotland. 'A shambles' A new Welsh scheme announced this month is also significantly more generous than in England and Northern Ireland. "The whole thing is a shambles, it's shameful," says Sue Threakall, of the campaign group Tainted Blood. "These are payments which people rely on to pay their mortgages, pay rent and feed their families." The government says it has doubled the amount it is spending on support payments to those affected since 2015. "This is significantly more than any previous government has provided for those affected by this tragedy," a spokesman for the Department of Health said. "We will continue to listen and are currently consulting on new measures to extend the group of individuals who benefit from higher annual payments."

Land speed record-breaker Blue Bird at Pendine for 90th anniversary

Summary: The car which set a land speed record for Sir Malcolm Campbell has been brought back to the scene of the triumph in Carmarthenshire.

The Blue Bird, which was built in 1919, set a record 90 years ago of more than 150mph (241km/h). The car, now kept at the National Motor Museum in Hampshire, was driven at low speed by Sir Malcolm's grandson, Don Wales, at Pendine Sands. It was fired up for the first time in 50 years following a rebuild last year.

IS tried to build pulse jet-powered drones - report

Summary: The Islamic State (IS) group attempted to develop high-speed drones powered by pulse jet engines like those used in V-1 bombs dropped on the UK during World War Two, an investigation has found.

A conflict monitor revealed the engine in a new report about how IS obtained and made weapons under its "caliphate". Conflict Armament Research (CAR) said IS had "sophisticated production capabilities for improvised weapons". IS was declared territorially defeated in Syria and Iraq in March 2019. From 2014, IS had imposed its brutal rule on millions of people, once controlling 88,000 sq km (34,000 sq miles) of territory stretching from western Syria to eastern Iraq. After five years of fierce battles, local forces backed by the US and its allies managed to wrest back all the territory controlled by IS. "No other non-state armed group has matched the scale and ambition of IS weapons production," Mike Lewis, CAR's head of enhanced investigations, said. Namir Shabibi, the organisation's head of operations in Iraq, said "remaining cells in Iraq and Syria have become increasingly active in the past year". "Preventing their procurement efforts by spotting the kinds of red flags detailed in this report remains important for countering the group's resurgence." What were the report's main findings? CAR's report, released on Tuesday, was the product of an 18-month investigation into the procurement networks behind IS weapons production. The report said production became "increasingly technically advanced and quasi-industrialised" between 2014 and 2017, the height of IS's so-called caliphate. The report said key materials used by IS forces in Iraq and Syria to produce weapons and explosives predominantly came from a small number of huge bulk purchases made by family-run businesses in Europe and Turkey. Bulk purchases made in 2014 and 2015 continued to fuel IS weapon production until its territorial loss in 2019, the report said. "A small number of key individuals and businesses were central to the procurement of diverse goods ranging from surveillance equipment to fertiliser for producing explosives," Mr Lewis said. "With stronger due diligence, much of this trade might have been disrupted." The report said IS's used of drones focused heavily on small, electrically powered aircraft, which are commercially available worldwide. But the investigation found that, from 2015 onwards, IS technicians "also sought to develop larger, faster unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs) powered by pulse jet engines". The report said a "fully constructed pulse jet engine" measuring more than two metres in length was found at a hospital in west Mosul, Iraq in September 2017. "Pulse jets are a type of acoustic jet engine originally developed for World War II-era V-1 'flying bomb' cruise missiles," the report said. V-1 missiles were used by the Nazi German military during World War Two. Pulse jet engines "fell out of use for full-scale aircraft in the 1950s", but remain "inexpensive", the report said. Investigators said an automated anti-aircraft system was another of the "ambitious new weapons systems" IS made and tested but didn't use. More on IS:

Wrexham council considers dogs on leads in park plan

Summary: Dog owners could be required to put pets on leads in country parks and on pavements under new public order plans being drawn up in Wrexham.

The idea was mooted in an informal council survey as officials look to update existing legal orders tackling dog fouling and anti-social behaviour. A council report has backed the idea for dogs to be kept on leads near park visitor centres, but not a wider area. People in breach of public orders can face fixed penalty fines. Dog exclusion zones already exist on marked sports pitches and play areas in Wrexham, apart from owners with assistance dogs. Extending the order to pavements and some parkland could cost an additional £20,000 in signage costs, according to the report. A scrutiny committee meeting at the Guildhall on Wednesday agreed to allow a formal consultation to take place to push ideas forward.

BHP withdraws from most India oil and gas projects

Summary: Mining giant BHP Billiton plans to withdraw from nearly all of its oil and gas exploration projects in India, reportedly due to regulatory delays.

The firm said it would give up nine exploration blocks in the country, leaving it with just one. The move deals a blow to India's attempt to boost domestic production and reduce its reliance on oil imports. It is also a major setback for the government, which has been looking to attract more foreign investment. Anglo-Australian BHP is the latest multinational either to scale back or end its operations in India, citing bureaucracy and a lack of clear policy. Walmart ended its Indian joint venture this month because of restrictions on foreign investment. Earlier this year, both South Korea's Posco and Luxembourg-based steelmaker ArcelorMittal abandoned steel projects in the country due to regulatory problems.
