Spain’s social wi-fi tycoon

Summary: Nine years ago, Martin Varsavsky unveiled what sounded like a barmy idea - getting people to plug in a piece of kit to their home router and share their wi-fi with anyone who happened to be passing by.

Rory Cellan-JonesTechnology correspondent@BBCRoryCJon Twitter But Fon, the first social wi-fi network, took off, and what was intended to be a not-for-profit enterprise has grown into a substantial business, with backing from investors ranging from BT to Google. It is in 13 million homes and claims to be the world's biggest wi-fi network, reaching 200 million people. Now Mr Varsavsky, who from his Madrid base has become one of Europe's most successful telecoms entrepreneurs, has a new and perhaps equally unlikely mission. He wants to turn us all into the kind of people who are happy for our friends to play their music in our homes. Today sees the launch of Gramofon, a joint venture with Spotify, to enable social sharing of music. It involves plugging in a new version of the Fon router - a small attractively designed black or white device - and connecting it to the internet and to your home music system. You then pair it with an app which allows you - or your Facebook friends - to stream music from Spotify and a number of other services. "It's going to be the Apple TV for sound," Martin Varsasvsky told me when he popped by for a coffee yesterday to explain the service. He told me he'd been lecturing on entrepreneurship in New York when after giving his students a start-up project task they'd challenged him to come up with his own idea. "I went to a party where everyone was arguing over whose music from whose smartphone they wanted to play - that's when the idea came to me." Now, despite some impressive design, I struggled to understand why Gramofon would take off. It seems to combine a number of things - streaming music services, hardware that distributes your music around the house - that are already done very well by existing businesses. I suppose it adds a social element but how many people really want to invite guests to take over the control of their music when they come to visit? It sounds to me like quite a small niche. Still, like so many new technology ideas, Gramofon is launching on the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform, which is a good way of testing the appetite for the product. And it's encouraging to see a new technology venture coming out of Europe when so much of the innovation we see emerges from one small part of the United States. Martin Varsasvky has a track record of building businesses which rapidly go global from his Spanish base, He is also very positive about the continent's prospects: "I am very optimistic about the way Europe is going, it has a very well-trained population," he said, "and companies like Google make more money in Europe than the United States." He does concede that Europe has a problem with regulation, especially for smaller companies, and would like to see what he calls an infancy law." Start-ups are like infants that need special care. I would say until a company is three years old, has more than 30 employees and is profitable it should be allowed to operate outside lathe labour regulations." But, despite regular forays to the US, he promised to continue to invest on this side of the Atlantic: "I am happy building companies in Europe because I find incredibly talented engineers and employees." Martin Varsavsky is one of a new breed of European tech tycoons, from Daniel Ek of Spotify, to the Skype founder Niklas Zennstrom, who look at the global market from the moment they start a new venture. Perhaps there is a lesson there for young British entrepreneurs looking to become the next Mark Zuckerberg.

'I was convinced my baby would die the next day'

Summary: Imagine looking at your newborn baby and being convinced they are the son of God. You may think this recent plotline in EastEnders sounds far-fetched. But it's actually a common symptom of post-partum psychosis, a condition that affects one in 500 mothers.

By Claire BatesBBC News Magazine "It's like being in a vivid nightmare only you don't wake up," says psychiatrist Dr Alain Gregoire, at the Winchester Mother and Baby Unit. "You can go from being well to experiencing extreme thoughts and hallucinations very rapidly." The condition affects thousands of women in the UK each year. The severe episode of mental illness starts in the days or weeks after giving birth and affects a mother's mood, thinking and behaviour. Symptoms include mania, depression, confusion, hallucinations and delusions. Hannah, who gave birth to her daughter Esther in March 2015, says she didn't realise she was ill at first. "I had this extra boost of energy and I just assumed my hormones were making things easy for me. I was staying up until 12 or 1," she says. "Then Esther got sick and I started over-questioning and over-analysing everything." Hannah, who is a Christian, found she began getting odd thoughts that had a religious context. "At first I thought God had told me I was pregnant with twin girls. I thought this was very reasonable. Apparently when I later went into the specialist unit, I did numerous pregnancy tests as I was so convinced." Find out more You can watch My Baby, Psychosis And Me on Tuesday 16 February at 22:45 on BBC One, or catch up afterwards on iPlayer. Within weeks her delusions brought her to breaking point. "I got it into my head that Esther would die the next day at midday but God would then bring her back to life. I told my husband Andy, who thought it was odd and didn't know what to make of it. "When midday approached I ended up in a foetal position screaming and asking people to help me. I was screaming so loudly the neighbours came running." Hannah was taken to her local GP by her mother and best friend. A local mental health crisis team was contacted and Hannah was admitted to a mother and baby unit. By this time her extreme moods had made her feel suicidal and over the coming weeks she made several attempts to kill herself. "I felt so guilty but I couldn't stop it. I was very lucky not to die," she says. Gregoire says many women don't receive help until their psychosis has progressed a long way. This is due to poor awareness of the condition and the stigma that still surrounds mental health. "This condition is absolutely treatable and women shouldn't hesitate to seek help, but many hide their symptoms," he says. What is post-partum psychosis? Postpartum Psychosis includes one or more of the following: • Strange beliefs that could not be true (delusions) • Hearing, seeing, feeling or smelling things that are not there (hallucinations) • High mood with loss of touch with reality (mania) • Severe confusion Other common symptoms include having racing thoughts, behaving out of character and having trouble sleeping among others. For more information advice and support visit the Action on Postpartum Psychosis website "They are scared people will take their babies away from them. But most women, as long as they have access to a mother and baby unit, will stay with their babies the whole time. "Ill mothers put their last ounce of energy into keeping their babies safe and evidence suggests mothers get better far quicker if they are kept with their babies." The main treatment for post-partum psychosis is anti-psychotic medication. "This is a critical treatment and should be given as quickly as possible," says Gregoire. "They are non-toxic and you can breastfeed on them. There is no doubt they work and I can guarantee to women in my care that they will get better with them." Practical and psychological support is also given in the mother and baby units, providing vital relief for suffering mothers. "I thought I was obviously a bad mum, so they filmed me with Esther to show me how I interacted with her," Hannah says. "I also did simple tasks, which gave me a massive sense of achievement, such as washing Esther's clothes. The staff were amazing and really looked out for you. It took the pressure off. I sometimes needed to sleep until 3pm and it was safe in the knowledge Esther was being looked after." Recovery from post-partum psychosis varies, with the average woman staying in a mother and baby unit for four to five weeks. When patients leave they continue to take medication and receive help and advice at home. However, in rare cases women may need to stay for up to six months. Hannah had been allowed home for a few days after a month of treatment but continued to struggle with dark thoughts. "I felt lower and lower and less in control," she says. "I was now on different medication to treat the depression but it needed time to work. It was really terrifying, I knew that if I didn't get help I wouldn't last much longer, so I agreed to have ECT sessions." ECT or electroconvulsive therapy sends an electric current through the brain to trigger an epileptic fit and is used to relieve severe depression. It is administered under anaesthetic and usually has an immediate effect. "I had 11 sessions in total and signed a consent form before each one," Hannah says. "By the fourth session I felt like I was coming back and after my ninth session I remembered thinking 'I could get through this.'" Hannah was discharged from the mother and baby unit last September and has slowly been coming to terms with her experience. She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder while at the unit and has since learned that this meant she had between a 25 and 50% chance of developing post-partum psychosis. "I had wondered if I had bipolar in my early 20s," Hannah says. "I would have very good days followed by a low that I couldn't control and I took anti-depressants for that. I wish I had known it would increase my risk but I hadn't even heard of post-partum psychosis and I'm a nurse." What is bipolar disorder? Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic depression, is a condition that affects your moods, which can swing from one extreme to another. If you have bipolar disorder, you will have periods or episodes of: Find out more: NHS Choices Bipolar disorder is under-diagnosed in the UK, says Stephen Buckley, head of information at Mind. "We know that it can take years for some people with bipolar disorder to get the right diagnosis, often because it involves change in mood over time," he says. "In some cases people are misdiagnosed with other mental health problems such as depression which have symptoms in common. This can mean people are started on the wrong treatment path prolonging the process further." Women also have a higher risk of post-partum psychosis if a close relative has had it but the condition can potentially affect any new mother. Changes in hormone levels and disrupted sleep are also thought to be involved, but research into the condition continues. Those at higher risk are advised to speak to their GP and local mental health team. Hannah agreed to share her recovery process in a BBC documentary to help change attitudes towards mental illness. "I would tell friends I had post-natal depression because I worried that if I told them I had been psychotic I wouldn't have any friends," she says. "But they have been so understanding. It's important to break this stigma to help mums get help." She has been impressed with the recent EastEnders plotline in which the character Stacey Branning struggles with post-partum psychosis, saying it was a realistic portrayal. In the soap Stacey is separated from her son because there isn't space for her in the nearest mother and baby unit. Gregoire, who is chairman of the Maternal Mental Health Alliance, says this is sometimes the unfortunate reality. "There are 125 beds in specialist mother and baby units across the UK but we are lacking something like 60 beds," he says. "This is an extremely serious condition, yet there are no units at all in Wales, Northern Ireland or South West England. If there was this lack of care in heart disease during pregnancy there would be an outcry. "Women should demand expert services."

The Vocabularist: How 'copout' became a posh phrase

Summary: The Bank of England should produce an impartial view of the consequences of Brexit and not "cop out" with a statement that the prospects are uncertain, a Financial Times columnist recently said. The phrase's meaning has changed, writes Trevor Timpson.

The VocabularistWords unpicked Cop-out has come to mean an evasion, an escape from facing up to something, but like many slang words it has an untidy history. It first appeared some 500 years ago in the Scots phrase "play cop out" where cop was equivalent to cup, meaning "playing empty the cup" or, frankly, boozing. But the meaning of cop which has become dominant is to seize or grab, recorded since the 18th Century and maybe a northern English version of "cap" which is recorded once or twice before that. "Grab" is probably the origin of copper and cop meaning a policeman, both dating from the mid-19th Century. Its own origin may be the Dutch verb "kapen" or the old French verb "caper", perhaps with the Latin capio, "take hold of" lurking in their ancestry. But the fact is, cop is a handy, punchy little sound and could mean whatever suited the user. Slang dictionaries from the 1940s on show that cop-out could mean a chance meeting, to confess, to inform, get into trouble, be defeated, and even "go to sleep" All the same, we can get a general notion that "cop out" could mean "grab a way out" and so escape or evade. The bohemian writings of Jack Kerouac show the modern meaning taking shape. In his 1958 novella the Subterraneans, Kerouac wrote: "So I cop out, from the lot, from life, all of it, go to sleep in the bedroom." It was a popular phrase in jazz circles. Duke Ellington recorded a number called Cop-out in 1957; in his 1973 autobiography Ellington wrote: "I would cop-out with something appropriate to my limitations… (but would soon) find my musical self breaking through." By the 1960s copout was becoming a mainstream phrase. Time magazine in April 1966 had a much-cited cover story called Is God Dead? which quoted screenwriter Edward Anhalt as saying: "God is an infantile fantasy, which was necessary when men did not understand what lightning was. God is a cop-out." In Britain, Kenneth Allsop wrote in 1967: "Drugs… are becoming the sanctioned cop-out of the young disaffiliated." So "copout" has become first a literary, now almost an establishment phrase. If it had not, it might have gone through six more meanings by now, or been forgotten.

Where is 'Islamic State' leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi?

Summary: Three years ago, video emerged of the leader of so-called Islamic State (IS), Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, commanding allegiance in a sermon at the Great Mosque of al-Nuri in Mosul. The Iraqi city had been freshly captured by the jihadist group and a "caliphate" declared.

By Hassan HassanTahrir Institute for Middle East Policy At the time, IS controlled a region the size of the United Kingdom - but since then a global war against the jihadists has sent them into retreat, and the whereabouts of Baghdadi - a man with a $25m US bounty on his head - are a mystery. On the third anniversary of Baghdadi's first - and last public - public appearance, IS no longer controls most of the land it once held. Its leader has been conspicuously silent since addressing followers in a recorded audio message last November, after the battle to dislodge the group from Mosul began. Amid this silence, unconfirmed reports of Baghdadi's death have recently surfaced. Russia's deputy foreign minister said it was "highly likely" Baghdadi was killed in a Russian air force strike on Raqqa on 28 May, and an Iranian official asserted last week that he was "definitely dead". However, both claims were questioned by American officials. In a video released from Raqqa a week after the Russian report surfaced, IS members referred to "our sheikh" without mentioning Baghdadi by name, leaving a question mark over his fate. After all, the Taliban and al-Qaeda hid the death of Taliban leader Mullah Omar for two years. For both his supporters and enemies, Baghdadi's absence at such a critical moment is perplexing. 'Third capital' The answer to the question about Baghdadi's whereabouts might be related to his claim to legitimacy as caliph, or "commander of the faithful". According to a contentious religious rule, a candidate can (among other criteria) claim the title if he has "ardh tamkeen", or "land to rule". Today, the ardh tamkeen is shrinking. IS is all but a spent force in Mosul and is under immense pressure in Raqqa, its two de facto capitals in Iraq and Syria. (In recognition of the defining moment in Iraq, IS blew up the al-Nuri mosque two weeks ago before security forces could seize the site). Baghdadi might be in hiding in what could be described as IS's "third capital", namely the areas currently controlled by the group on the two sides of the Syrian and Iraqi borders. IS calls this area Wilayat al-Furat, or "Euphrates Province", which mainly comprises the Iraqi town of al-Qaim and the Syrian town of Albu Kamal. In 2014, the rise of IS began in Wilayat al-Furat and surrounding areas. According to the group's own accounts, in videos produced recently from Anbar province in Iraq, the militants used the region as a launchpad for its blitzkriegs in Iraq and Syria. The region also has relatively weakly armed militias and tribes, which could hold and secure the region if and when it is recaptured. Even in supposedly liberated areas like Rutba, a town to the south, IS has still managed to carry out frequent deadly hit-and-run attacks. Desert hideouts No campaign has been launched yet to liberate these remote towns. Discussions as to whether the US or the Syrian government and its allies should lead the offensive on the Syrian side of the border are still being held in Washington. If the US conducts the campaign, questions remain as to whether rebel fighters or the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) should lead the fight. In Iraq, places like Tal Afar, west of Mosul, appear to be a current priority for the pro-government forces. Hisham al-Hashimi, an adviser to the Iraqi government and an expert on Iraqi jihadist groups, suggests that Wilayat al-Furat is where al-Baghdadi is likely to be hiding. The Iraqi government has carried out several air strikes in Albu Kamal over the past two years. Iyad al-Jamili, one of al-Baghdadi's closest aides has been spotted in the Syrian town, according to Mr Hashimi. A number of other close associates of the IS leader have also been seen in Albu Kamal and Mayadin, another key IS town in the Syrian province of Deir al-Zour, Mr Hashimi says. Wilayat al-Furat is the only remaining region where IS can claim ardh tamkeen. The campaign to clear the region might take many months to begin and much longer to conclude. Even after these areas are liberated, IS is likely to use the desert, river valleys and border zones as hideouts and to launch attacks on urban centres. Most wanted Baghdadi, unlike other jihadist leaders, tends to speak or appear only when there is an extreme need for it - as seen with the announcement of the caliphate and the appeal to followers to stand and fight in Mosul. The higher up the IS chain of command, the more communication with superiors becomes restricted to a small number of trusted loyalists. Less than a handful people would therefore know Baghdadi's whereabouts. That makes it hard for the US, which has dedicated special forces constantly on the look-out for any traces of the world's most wanted man. The borderlands of Syria and Iraq provide Baghdadi with relatively secure and familiar terrain, in which he can hide and circumvent attempts to capture or kill him. They also provide him with the ability to continue to claim legitimacy as commander of the faithful.

Obama State of the Union address: Key points

Summary: US President Barack Obama has given his annual State of the Union address, covering issues such as healthcare, inequality and foreign policy. Correspondents say it was probably the last best chance to reset his presidency before attention shifts to the 2016 poll for his successor.

Inequality Mr Obama voiced his concern at the persistence of income inequality despite the US's income recovery. Inequality has been growing for almost three decades. "Today, after four years of economic growth, corporate profits and stock prices have rarely been higher, and those at the top have never done better. But average wages have barely budged. Inequality has deepened," he said. An analysis of tax filings released in September showed the top 1% of US earners collected 19.3% of household income, breaking a record previously set in 1927. What to do about income inequality (if anything) Wages As part of his efforts to address inequality, Mr Obama announced a rise in the minimum wage for new federal contract staff to $10.10 (£6.10). He appealed to Congress to raise the national minimum wage, currently $7.25 per hour, across the board. "Americans overwhelmingly agree that no one who works full-time should ever have to raise a family in poverty," Mr Obama said. He also called the continuing pay gap between men and women as an "embarrassment" and called on Congress and business leaders to take action to close it. "It is time to do away with workplace policies that belong in a "Mad Men" episode," he said. Obama promises minimum wage boost One US town's battle over the minimum wage Healthcare Mr Obama defended his signature healthcare reforms, saying that they were already helping millions get health insurance. The troubled roll out of the healthcare bill, known as "Obamacare", hit his popularity ratings hard last year. "For decades, few things exposed hard-working families to economic hardship more than a broken health care system. And in case you haven't heard, we're in the process of fixing that," Mr Obama said. Q&A: Obamacare The 'Obamacare' crisis in 75 seconds Iran Mr Obama hailed the recent deal between Iran and world powers over its nuclear programme, saying that that US diplomacy had brought Iran to the negotiation table and prevented it from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Many in Congress are sceptical over the deal and have suggested that they should push for fresh sanctions on Iran. Mr Obama said he would veto any such sanctions. "For the sake of our national security, we must give diplomacy a chance to succeed," he said. But he added: "If Iran's leaders do not seize this opportunity, then I will be the first to call for more sanctions and stand ready to exercise all options to make sure Iran does not build a nuclear weapon." Why are congressional Democrats considering new Iran sanctions? Q&A: Iran nuclear crisis Iran nuclear deal: key points Guantanamo The closure of the US military detention centre at Guantanamo Bay within a year was one of Mr Obama's pledges when first elected in 2008. However, this deadline was missed amid resistance from lawmakers to the idea of bringing prisoners to the US. Mr Obama said 2014 "needs to be the year Congress lifts the remaining restrictions on detainee transfers and we close the prison at Guantanamo Bay because we counter terrorism not just through intelligence and military action but by remaining true to our constitutional ideals and setting an example for the rest of the world". Returning Yemenis from Guantanamo Bay US hails Guantanamo 'milestone' Immigration The US Senate passed a bill in June which would provide a pathway to citizenship for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the US. However the bill has yet to be considered by the House of Representatives, where many conservatives object to giving breaks to people who either entered or stayed in the US illegally. Mr Obama said economists had forecasted that reform would "grow the economy and shrink our deficits by almost $1 trillion in the next two decades." "When people come here to fulfil their dreams - to study, invent, contribute to our culture - they make our country a more attractive place for businesses to locate and create jobs for everybody. So let's get immigration reform done this year," he said. America's immigration conundrum Facebook's Zuckerberg pushes on immigration reform Climate change While backing the increased use of natural gas as a "bridge fuel", Mr Obama called on Congress to back a "smarter tax policy that stops giving $4bn a year to fossil fuel industries that don't need it so we can invest more in fuels of the future that do". He said the increasing use of solar power should be encouraged as a way of fighting climate change and sustaining jobs that "can't be outsourced". "When our children's children look us in the eye and ask if we did all we could to leave them a safer, more stable world, with new sources of energy, I want us to be able to say yes, we did."

Hospitality suppliers: 'It’s not just a case of turning on a switch'

Summary: The large round cakes that Mademoiselle Desserts makes are sold on to wholesalers and mostly end up sliced and eaten in coffee shops, restaurants and garden centre cafes - but production is on hold due to lockdown restrictions.

By Katy AustinBusiness correspondent, BBC News Its three UK sites are running at about 10-15% of pre-pandemic activity, with many staff furloughed. Its UK Managing Director Nigel Taylor is keenly awaiting Prime Minister Boris Johnson's announcement on Monday, when he is expected to set out the earliest possible dates for when some sectors, including hospitality, might reopen in England. For Mr Taylor, getting enough notice ahead of a definite restart for hospitality is crucial. "The people side of things is relatively quick because we just pull them back off furlough and everyone's primed to go, they've got experience of coming back in a short period of time," he says. "The ingredients is the thing that will delay us. Most of them are UK, there are number of ingredients we do get from abroad." Some types of chocolate, he says, have a four-week lead time. Cream cheese, a key ingredient for Mademoiselle Desserts, takes three weeks. Basics like flour and eggs might only take a week or 10 days to get hold of. But after some challenging moments over the past year, Mr Taylor wants certainty before he restocks, to avoid food going to waste. "When things get switched on and switched off quickly, with eggs in particular it's an ingredient that will go out of date." One step up the supply chain, the wholesaler Bidfood is also hoping for clarity around the next steps for its hospitality clients. Care homes and other public sector customers still need deliveries, but with pubs and restaurants mostly closed, activity at its Slough warehouse is currently at just one-third of capacity. Nearly half of its staff are furloughed. Its chief executive Andrew Selley says the past year has been very disconcerting from a business planning point of view. "It's not just a case of turning on a switch and providing the product. The customers have to plan what menus they want to offer and they have to tell us what volumes they're expecting, based on what the government is saying the regulations are going to be. He says £70m of stock is available ready to go for the firm's 40,000 customers, but that isn't enough to provide everything they might want quickly. "A menu is made up of a variety of items that includes frozen foods, long-life ambient foods, but also fresh produce, fresh meat, fresh fish... All of those things take a bit more time to get into the supply chain, especially now we've got a few more delays at the border as we're bringing in fresh produce into the UK." Mr Selley says "a good two weeks' notice" is needed to ensure all the right products are available. His top ask ahead of Monday's announcement? Confidence. "We want the hospitality sector to reopen and stay open. And we need some support around credit insurance for customers." And at the top of the supply chain are the eateries desperate to welcome customers back in. Peter Borg-Neal is the chief executive of Oakman Inns, a chain of 28 pubs, with a focus on food. "It really has been very stressful", he said outside of The Royal Foresters in Ascot. "It's all the uncertainty, looking at the cash you're burning every week." Takeaways are helping to fund wages, but they only provide a fraction of pre-Covid turnover. "We're just figuring out how we can survive to a known date. If we knew that date it would be easier, we'd have more certainty, we'd know what we're dealing with. But we've had this stop-start thing." Mr Borg-Neal says the firm spent about £750,000 investing in pubs' outdoor areas when the tiered system of lockdown restrictions was introduced. A few days after construction was finished, they had to close again. Now he says he would need at least two weeks to get the pubs open correctly. "But our suppliers need longer. Beer for example takes three weeks to brew." Then there's produce from farmers. Items like fresh tomatoes sourced from Spain or Italy will need more notice. He says the firm could manage with less, but it would be sad to open in a "half-hearted fashion".

Philippines election: Filipino boxing youth and politician Pacquiao

Summary: Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao has left the ring for the political fight in the Philippines. Already a congressman, he is running for a senate seat in next week's elections. Heather Chen, the BBC's social media producer in Asia, is in the capital, Manila and reporting daily on Snapchat. She went to a boxing gym to see how fellow fighters and Filipino youth see his ambition. Add BBC News on Snapchat: bbcnews.

As you travel around Manila, election candidates are everywhere. Manny Pacquiao's image is no exception. I saw a photo from his boxing days covering a traditional cycle trishaw and its rider told me "Pacman will save us", before climbing on and pedalling off. Pacquiao can rely on his fame and success to ensure adulation, but at one gym where Filipino boxers hang out, their champion's political ambition was up for debate. "Whenever a Manny Pacquiao fight is on, the streets empty out and crime rate is zero because the entire nation drops everything to cheer him on." Those were the words of Richard Monterey, an IT worker from Quezon City, on the political ambitions of Manny Pacquiao. The first person I met at the gym was Mary Ann, who works on reception. She said she believed in the Sarangani politician. "I like him very much. He's a champion and he can fight for the Philippines in any kind of ring." She introduced me to boxing coach and former champion Edel, enthusiastically working out his punches on a leather bag. "Pacman is a world champion," he said, pointing to a wall of old victory photographs on the wall. "But I don't think that translates to politics in the Philippines, it's too complicated." Some expressed concern about Mr Pacquiao's ability to make the transition towards the bigger stage: vice-president and one day, Philippine president - a position he has expressed interest in. Many wonder how he will juggle his political style with very serious and complex foreign policy issues, such as the Philippines' relationship with China. "Boxing and politics just don't mix," said Louie, an accountant and a student. "Manny Pacquiao has to realise what he brings to the ring isn't the same as leading a country." Martial arts student Patrick Malsi shared similar sentiments about the former world champion. "Boxing doesn't translate to politics and it shouldn't. Filipinos who support him have to think about his political abilities in the long run." The 29-year-old graphic designer also highlighted the "insensitivity" of the boxer, who made headlines in February after he said homosexuals were "worse than animals". "I love him as a boxer but is that how we'd want a president of the Philippines to behave? It reflects badly on our society, not a good move." "Filipinos love Manny: he brings our country pride and glory," said Julie Francisco, another student who was wrapping her hands in preparation for training. "He takes down big names, but can he tackle corruption? That's the real question at hand." Her coach held up his rubber wristbands that indicated his choices for president and vice-president: Rodrigo Duterte and Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos. "Vote for Pacquiao? Let's see if he gets there first," he whispered.

Man accused of naked attack in toy shop is 'mentally ill'

Summary: A man accused of running naked through a toy store, abducting a six-year-old boy and attacking the boy's grandmother has a mental illness which means he is unfit for trial, a court has heard.

Przemyslaw Kaluzny, 41, was diagnosed by two defence psychiatrists. Mr Kaluzny faces a total of 13 charges including the alleged incidents in the Toys R Us store in Dundee. The case at Dundee Sheriff Court was continued for a week. The Crown will now obtain its own medical information. Prosecutors claim Mr Kaluzny behaved in an abusive and threatening manner in the toy store on Easter Sunday. It is alleged he stripped off before abducting the boy, and then assaulted the 67-year-old grandmother by striking her on the head with a cricket bat. Earlier on the same day it is alleged he stole a mobile phone and a baseball bat from a neighbour's flat and exposed his genitals to the woman. He is further accused of stealing a car key before driving off in a Renault Laguna car from outside the Watson Street property, and driving to the Kingsway Retail Park without a licence or insurance, still with the bat, an offensive weapon, with him.

Longhope lifeboat crew remembered 50 years on

Summary: Eight men died when the Longhope lifeboat capsized on 17 March, 1969, after setting out late in the evening from Hoy in Orkney, to help the Liberian cargo ship Irene, which was adrift in a fierce storm.

The TGB, a 47ft (14m) Watson-class lifeboat constructed of wood, set off in conditions of near-zero visibility. A Force 9 gale, coupled with a spring tide, led to waves 60ft (18m) high. The lifeboat is believed to have been overturned by a freak wave, possibly 100ft (30.5m) high. The lifeboat was found at 13.40 the following day by Thurso's lifeboat. No-one on board survived. When the boat was recovered, the bodies of all but one of the crew were inside the hull. The coxswain was still at the helm. The body of James Swanson was never found. How the disaster unfolded March 17, 1969 21:15 - Irene grounds - reached by Coastguard teams. 21:28- Last radio signal from TGB. 21:30 - TGB is seen north of Pentland Skerries Lighthouse by the principal lighthouse keeper. 21:35 - Keeper sees TGB's stern light about a mile away to the east. 22: 00 - TGB fails to respond to a radio message. March 18, 1969 01:30 - All Irene's crew safely brought ashore. 13:40 - Thurso lifeboat crew locate upturned hull of TGB, four miles SW of Tor Ness. Towed to Scrabster Harbour by Thurso lifeboat. Angus Heddle and Geordie Taylor both helped launch TGB on its final shout. Angus said: "Watching the boat going out the bay Malcolm McKay and me was the last two to leave the shed and we were stood in the lee of the shed. "We stood there until we could see no more. We went home and listened on the radio. "There was no signal, it was just dead." Geordie said: "In the morning there was still nothing. About lunchtime it came over that the boat had been found upside down. "It just floored the whole island. You just couldn't believe it. "They'd been out on many a wild night and always came back. After it initially happened everybody seemed to muck together and the boys got another lifeboat. "It was something that was never going out of your mind." The lost crew were: Coxswain Daniel Kirkpatrick (59) Second Coxswain James 'Jimmy' Johnston (30) Bowman Ray Kirkpatrick (32) Mechanic Robert Johnston (62) Assistant mechanic James 'Jimmie' Swanson (59). His body was never found. Crew member Robert 'Robbie' Johnston (27) Crew member Jack Kirkpatrick (27) Crew member Eric McFadyen (24) On 22 May 1970, the Hilton Briggs became operational on Hoy with a new crew. An inquiry into the loss of TGB found that all necessary precautions and procedures had been taken by RNLI and the Coastguard. The inquiry stated that TGB had capsized after being overwhelmed by "very high seas and maelstrom conditions". The loss of TGB led to the development of self-righting lifeboats. John Budge, who spent 39 years with the Brims lifeboat crew, said he has often thought of the men who set out on the Longhope lifeboat 50 years ago. "The first times that we launched from Brims after the boat went back into the slip I can remember me passing under the roof beam and looking at the roof beam and thinking that was the last part of home those men saw, going under that beam, and I used to shudder went I went down there," he said. "You'll never forget the respect we had for them all, never ever."

Karachi: Pakistan's untold story of violence

Summary: While attention is normally on the fight against the Taliban in Pakistan's north-west, the rising tide of violence in the southern city of Karachi is Pakistan's untold story. The BBC's Syed Shoaib Hasan examines the brutal spate of targeted killings in the country's commercial capital.

The death toll in Karachi is inexorably rising. According to human rights organisations, 775 people died in political and sectarian shootings and bomb attacks in Karachi in 2010. Although the government puts the figure lower, at about 500 people, Karachi has become a perilous place. And although thousands are killed every year in the north-west, the impact of the violence in Karachi is arguably no less important. The city is Pakistan's commercial hub. Business losses The disturbances and accompanying city-wide shutdowns and strikes have brought this city of 15 million to a standstill, resulting in heavy losses to business and industrial activity. This has important implications for the rest of the country, because Karachi has Pakistan's only operational commercial port. Local traders and business associations say that strikes and violence in 2010 have led to the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars, placing pressure on Pakistan's already beleaguered economy. Karachi provides 70% of the total annual tax revenue collected by the government. Yet despite these obvious pressures, Islamabad has not addressed the issue directly. The spate of killings began to escalate in 2008, largely ignored by the government at the time. But in recent months, this has intensified. The violence has been largely fuelled by antagonism between the local chapters of three political parties: the Pakistan People's Party (PPP), the mostly Pashtun Awami National Party (ANP) and the Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM). All three parties are partners in the current ruling coalition that governs Pakistan. Karachi's political balance The MQM remains Karachi's dominant political party and represents the city's majority Urdu-speaking community - the descendants of Muslim migrants from India at the time of partition in 1947. In December 2010, Sindh Home Minister Zulfiqar Mirza accused the MQM of being mainly responsible for the extortion and targeted killings prevalent across the city. Within 48 hours, an enraged MQM withdrew its support for the PPP-led coalition in Islamabad. The only reason the government could hold onto power was because opposition parties did not bring a no-confidence motion against the government. The MQM has since been coaxed back into the coalition and now holds the political balance. However, tensions remain with the ANP and the PPP. In Karachi, all three parties have been involved in stoking ethnic passions. The latter part of the 1980s saw the rise of ethnic and sectarian militants in Karachi. There were ethnic riots, primarily between the Pashtun- and Urdu-speaking communities. By the 1990s, the situation had become so bad that security forces began operations against what they termed "anti-state and criminal elements". This was basically a reference to the MQM and its political activists. Thousands were arrested; many were were later killed in what human rights organisations and the Pakistan media said were staged killings by security forces. The MQM fought back - and was held responsible for a number of murders of police and security officials The party said it was targeted by a conservative security establishment for its liberal politics and for fighting for the rights of the Urdu-speaking community. Pashtun pressure Things changed under the government of President Pervez Musharraf and the party now enjoys excellent relations with the establishment. "The MQM's 'new deal' with the establishment is that its control of Karachi will remain unchallenged by the security establishment," a political analyst, who wished to remain unnamed, told the BBC. "In return, the MQM will support the establishment's policies in the centre." MQM insiders acknowledge this deal, although they insist the party will never vote for "anything against the spirit of its ideology". Obviously, this deal stands as long as the MQM controls Karachi. But since 2006, the party has been increasingly feeling the pressure exerted by the growth of the Pashtun community in the city. Arriving here in their thousands, the Pashtun newcomers are in competition for land and jobs with the Urdu-speaking community. MQM leaders say these new arrivals must not be treated as long-term inhabitants of the city - a call at odds with its identity as a party of migrants. They say that there is a link between the growth of the Pashtun community and the "Talibanisation" of parts of the city - the Taliban is predominantly made up of Pashtun people. The MQM say they will resist this at all costs, and this bellicosity has led to violence which has claimed dozens of lives. Some of it has also involved separate turf battles between Karachi's Baloch community - the original inhabitants of the city - and the MQM. "It's a complex political and ethnic problem which needs to be handled with extreme care," says a local human rights activist. "Instead, a free-for-all between heavily armed factions continues to claim innocent lives - as the government plays a game of see no evil, hear no evil," he says.

Tiptree jam firm future more secure

Summary: A 127-year-old Essex jam-making company says its future in a village is more secure after it was told it could apply to build housing on its land.

Wilkin & Sons in Tiptree wanted to build a new factory in the village, but wanted to sell land for housing in order to finance the £28m project. The company has put in plans to build a factory, sewage plant and 244 houses. Colchester Borough Council said the planning application would go before committee at the end of March. Ian Thurgood, joint managing director of the company said the current factory site and land next to the factory would be sold to developers. He said they were now able to "start planning in earnest for a new factory in Tiptree". Last year the firm said if it could not get planning permission for the homes it would have to look at moving the main production factory out of the village.

BBC Sound of 2020: Joy Crookes grabs fourth place

Summary: Over the last two years, Joy Crookes has released enough music to fill a (decidedly accomplished) debut album.

By Mark SavageBBC music reporter Those early EPs and one-off singles show a nuanced and individual ear for melody, while her "mad honest" lyrics depict love lost and found on the rainy streets of south-east London. They've earned her fourth place on the BBC Sound of 2020 list, which tips acts for success in the next 12 months. But if the attention is welcome, Crookes isn't sure she's enjoying it. "What does it feel like? Anxiety central is what it feels like!" laughs the singer. "I could give you the pretty answer but, honestly, it feels like when you go to Winter Wonderland and you get on that huge tower that rises up above Hyde Park then - whomp - it drops and your stomach rises to your eyeballs. "It's half an incredible feeling because there's so much adrenalin, but the other half is like, 'I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!'" The 21-year-old, who is of Bangladeshi-Irish descent, first came to attention when she posted a cover of Hit The Road Jack to YouTube as a teenager. Since then, she's developed a sound that combines the eclectic range of music her father played as he drove her to her weekly Irish dancing lessons. "My dad wanted to give me a real education, from Nick Cave to King Tubby to all this Pakistani music," she says. "He'd say, 'This is from your ends of the world, you should hear this.'" To celebrate her position on the Sound of 2020 list, Crookes took a break from recording her actual debut album to chat about her rise to fame, impersonating Liberty X, hustling her school-friends, and the pressure to succeed. Joy Crookes was chosen for the BBC Sound of 2020 list by a panel of 170 music critics, broadcasters, festival bookers and previous nominees - including Lewis Capaldi, Chvrches and Billie Eilish. The top five were. 1.Celeste 2.Easy Life 3.Yungblud 4.Joy Crookes 5.Inhaler What's your first memory? When I was three or four I went into my mum's room and put on her knee-high boots, then I summoned my family like, 'Mum! Dad! Assemble!' They sat on the sofa, and I walked in and performed Just A Little by Liberty X. We had it on VHS and I stood in front of the TV doing the moves. Amazing song choice. Maybe not for a three year old! I remember the night before, I got my mum to cut a hole in my black vest because the girls in the video had leather PVC suits with holes where their cleavage would be. I mean, I didn't have cleavage at three or four, but I wanted to look like them. So your first memory is a musical one? Yeah, it's so vivid in my mind. I was so, so concentrated on that performance. I hadn't even practiced it, I was just like, "This is my time to shine!" I heard you were quite an entrepreneur as a child, too... Where did you find that out?! But, yeah, when I was about nine, I worked out it would cost me £80 to get everyone in my family Christmas presents. So I went to Poundland in Elephant and Castle, and you could buy a box of 10 candy canes for £1. I worked out that if I sold each of them for £1, I could make 900% profit. I also had a side hustle selling clothes, because that £80 needed to come quick. If someone said, "That top looks great on you", I'd say, "I'll give it to you for a fiver". When my mates came round to our house, little did they know, it wasn't playtime, it was selling time! If music doesn't work out, you can always apply for the Apprentice. I probably will! You grew up listening to music - but was there a point where you thought, "This is something I can do for a career?" I never had that epiphany because I never thought music was a legitimate job. I thought that pop stars were pop stars and that's who they were. I almost didn't see them as human beings until Kate Nash came about. She made me realise I could use music as a diary. I was going through a lot at home and I didn't have anyone to talk to, so I just used my guitar. But I didn't really think, "Oh, I'm a musician now". How did you learn to play? With piano, I learnt a couple of chords at school, then I taught myself the songs from the film Once by looking up the chords on YouTube. With guitar it was the same: I learnt two chords from a family friend, then I went home and learned a lot of Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber songs because, no offence, I thought they'd be easy. I used to have a cupboard that had a mirror on it, so I'd sit down and watch myself playing guitar. That's really good when you're learning, because you can watch where your hands are going. So that was my mentality, and then I started writing after that. What happened next? My mum's friend had a son who was my age who played the most incredible Brazilian guitar. I loved Astrud Gilberto, so I asked him round to mine and I said, "Do you know this song Hit The Road Jack? I think we should cover it". So we recorded it on iMovie, put it on YouTube and it got 500,000 views - which was mad. Things really exploded in 2017 when you played Mother May I Sleep With Danger on the YouTube channel Colors. The video's now been watched 8 million times. Did it change your career? That song was never meant to be a single. I wrote it on my own, at the piano, on the first of January 2017. But the Colors performance made more sense than the record, because I'd been playing the song on tour. When you tour a song you get to know it - you stay over at its house, you meet its mum, you get to know the sibling it doesn't like. So by the time we did Colors, it was a walk in the park. That performance was our third take and I remember I pretended my mum was right there and I was singing it to her. The video really changed everything. For about six months after that, everywhere I went people would say, "Are you Joy from Colors?" You thought music wasn't a viable career, so did that video force you to rewrite the story in your head? It definitely started kicking in there. We'd gone to Germany [to make the video] and I was like, 'What do you mean I'm flying to Berlin for work, to sing songs?' But even after that, I went for a job interview as a waitress at a Kurdish restaurant. Did you get the job? No! As soon as I went for the interview, I regretted it. The manager was looking at me like, "What do you mean, you can't work on most days?" Several of your songs, like For A Minute and London Mine, are love letters to London. Why does it inspire you so much? The beauty of London is that it wouldn't be London without all the immigration, and the mix of cultures and colours and the smells and the stories it contains. I grew up on a street where my neighbours are Bajan and the neighbours after that are Bengali and the neighbours after that are from Nigeria. I learned so many mannerisms and different forms of respect and stories and myths and legends from all these places. I wouldn't be the person I am without London. It inspires me to be a certain kind of woman, and a certain kind of person. American musicians often eulogise their hometowns, but it's not so common in the UK. Why is that? I love my area, and London as a whole, so I think I should sing about it and celebrate it. But when I write about London, it's also a response to the austerity of the last 10 years. For A Minute is about growing up in an area that may not be rich or vibrant, but making the most out of things like having £2 to go to the chicken shop after school. There's a lyric, "eating sunshine every day", that's a comment on poverty. Then I also talk about "creamy legs in London air" because when I was growing up all the girls from secondary school, who are mainly black and brown, would have the most moisturised legs you've ever seen in your life. So I try and have a positive message: "Hey, this is the sick stuff about London. If we all packed up and left, and went back to India, Yorkshire or wherever, you wouldn't know what to do. It wouldn't be London any more." There's a fearlessness in the way you talk about relationships, too. I love that line in Man's World - "I find my love in red wine". I was very angry when I wrote that! I'm saying I find my love in something that's an object, as opposed to you. You are less important to me than a drink. At least alcohol's always there when you need it. Exactly. That's probably a very Irish message! On a more serious note, you've been playing a new song recently that addresses your mental health... Yeah, it's called Anyone But Me. The first line is, "Seven years strong with my therapy, making mosaics of my memories," so there's no mucking around. It's literally like, this is how I feel: I feel like there's another person living in my head. It's something I've battled with for a long time. I remember when I was 12, I rang up the NHS and said, "I can't get out of bed. I'm not ill, I haven't got a cold, I just can't get out of bed". And the guy on the other end of the phone said, "Ah, have you heard of depression?" Have you spoken to your therapist about how the music industry could affect your health? No, I haven't been able to see him because I haven't had time - which is not good. And I'm kind of struggling with that now. The first album just makes me want to crap myself. I'm like, "Why am I stressed every day, I should be excited about this? But why should I be excited when this is nerve-wracking?" I'm massively over-thinking everything. It's like when I did my GCSEs, I was the type of person who'd leave an exam going, "Oh my God, I failed that". Then I got all As and A stars, and dropped out straight after. Where does the pressure to succeed come from? It's all me. My manager is like, "You don't have a deadline for the album", and I'll go, "Yes I do. It's May." I've got IBS. I am the most stressed person ever. That doesn't come across in the music… Thank goodness. I can't imagine what an IBS song would sound like, though. Maybe like that Mabel song, The Anxiety Anthem? I could do the IBS Anthem, and the video would be me against a green screen, and the background would be the inside of your insides. A colonoscopy? Yeah! Perfect.

Are dying languages worth saving?

Summary: Language experts are gathering at a university in the UK to discuss saving the world's endangered languages. But is it worth keeping alive dialects that are sometimes only spoken by a handful of people, asks Tom de Castella?

"Language is the dress of thought," Samuel Johnson once said. About 6,000 different languages are spoken around the world. But the Foundation for Endangered Languages estimates that between 500 and 1,000 of those are spoken by only a handful of people. And every year the world loses around 25 mother tongues. That equates to losing 250 languages over a decade - a sad prospect for some. This week a conference in Carmarthen, west Wales, organised by the foundation, is being attended by about 100 academics. They are discussing indigenous languages in Ireland, China, Australia and Spain. "Different languages will have their quirks which tell us something about being human," says Nicholas Ostler, the foundation's chairman. "And when languages are lost most of the knowledge that went with them gets lost. People do care about identity as they want to be different. Nowadays we want access to everything but we don't want to be thought of as no more than people on the other side of the world." Apart from English, the United Kingdom has a number of other languages. Mr Ostler estimates that half a million people speak Welsh, a few thousand Scots are fluent in Gaelic, about 400 people speak Cornish, while the number of Manx speakers - the language of the Isle of Man - is perhaps as small as 100. But is there any point in learning the really minor languages? Last speaker dies "I do think it's a good thing for a child on the Isle of Man to learn Manx. I value continuity in a community." In Europe, Mr Ostler's view seems to command official support. There is a European Charter for Regional Languages, which every European Union member has signed, and the EU has a European Language Diversity For All programme, designed to protect the most threatened native tongues. At the end of last year the project received 2.7m euros to identify those languages most at risk. But for some this is not just a waste of resources but a misunderstanding of how language works. The writer and broadcaster Kenan Malik says it is "irrational" to try to preserve all the world's languages. Earlier this year, the Bo language died out when an 85-year-old member of the Bo tribe in the India-owned Andaman islands died. While it may seem sad that the language expired, says Mr Malik, cultural change is driving the process. "In one sense you could call it a cultural loss. But that makes no sense because cultural forms are lost all the time. To say every cultural form should exist forever is ridiculous." And when governments try to prop languages up, it shows a desire to cling to the past rather than move forwards, he says. If people want to learn minority languages like Manx, that is up to them - it shouldn't be backed by government subsidy, he argues. "To have a public policy that a certain culture or language should be preserved shows a fundamental misunderstanding. I don't see why it's in the public good to preserve Manx or Cornish or any other language for that matter." In the end, whether or not a language is viable is very simple. "If a language is one that people don't participate in, it's not a language anymore." Wicked words The veteran word-watcher and Times columnist Philip Howard agrees that languages are in the hands of people, not politicians. "Language is the only absolutely true democracy. It's not what professors of linguistics or academics or journalists say, but what people do. If children in the playground start using 'wicked' to mean terrific then that has a big effect." The former Spanish dictator Franco spent decades trying to stamp out the nation's regional languages but today Catalan is stronger than ever and Basque is also popular. And Mr Howard says politicians make a "category mistake" when they try to interfere with language, citing an experiment in Glasgow schools that he says is doomed to fail. "Offering Gaelic to children of people who don't speak it seems like a conservation of lost glories. It's very romantic to try and save a language but nonsense." But neither is he saying that everyone should speak English. "Some people take a destructivist view and argue that everyone will soon be speaking English. But Mandarin is the most populous language in the world and Spanish the fastest growing." There are competing forces at work that decide whether smaller languages survive, Howard argues. On the one hand globalisation will mean that many languages disappear. But some communities will always live apart, separated by sea, distance or other barriers and will therefore keep their own language. With modern communications and popular culture "you find that if enough people want to speak a language they can". In short, there is no need for handwringing. "Language is not a plant that rises and falls, lives and decays. It's a tool that's perfectly adapted by the people using it. Get on with living and talking."

Ex-Glee star Mark Salling held on child abuse image claims

Wales namesakes: The country and the Yorkshire village

Summary: I've passed the sign welcoming me to Wales, but there are a few things which are not quite right - the locals call me duck, there isn't a male voice choir to be heard and I can't find anyone who knows what Welsh cakes are.

By Ben FramptonBBC News Welcome to Wales, a small village and parish nestled in the South Yorkshire countryside. Located just south of Rotherham, if you've never heard of it, you could be forgiven. A blink-and-you'll-miss-it drive along the main road and you're already in neighbouring Kiveton Park, part of the Wales parish. The parish is home to just over 7,000 people, a church dating back almost 1,000 years, a pub, a garage, two schools and a few shops. First, a brief personal history: I'm a Yorkshireman who has called (Welsh) Wales home for the past 11 years, so when I found out there was a mini Wales in the motherland, I was curious to find out more. Do they call themselves Welsh? Are any Welsh people living there? Do they get any confused-looking tourists? No, no (we couldn't find any) and yes. Once. In a spectacular case of mistaken identity ahead of the Wales v Belgium match in the Euro 2016 qualifiers. Dan Schofield, 23, who lives in the village, said: "It was a couple of years ago, for the Euros, there was a coach of Belgium fans that came and the driver had just put Wales in the sat-nav and they ended up here when they meant to be in Welsh Wales. "[My brother] Joe was having a party and one of them knocked on the door and asked for directions, so we said: 'We think you've got the wrong Wales.'" What's in a name? Nice though it may be to think this village's name is a homage to the country of Wales, the origins are rooted in history. A Norman-style church has stood in the village for almost 1,000 years, but the name predates the Norman invasion of Britain in the 11th Century. The Rev Gary Schofield, the Vicar of Wales, said: "Wales means the land of the stranger, the land of the foreigner. In Saxon times I think the Celts retreated to the high ground and came here to defend themselves, so that's where we've got our name from." It is also thought the name could come from the word Waelas, meaning field of battle. As well as sharing a name, the two Wales have a similar industrial history. Wales councillor Dominic Beck said: "We had lots of people from Wales come up to work in the local coal mines in Kiveton Park and Waleswood colliery - there are some ties there even if people don't realise there are." But the industry's demise mirrored that of pits across the country and the last shift in Kiveton Park Colliery clocked out in September 1994, bringing to an end nearly 130 years of coal production in the area. Despite its modest size, the parish of Wales has produced a couple of sports stars who reached the peak of their professions. Its two most famous sons are James Toseland, the 2007 World Superbike champion, and Herbert Chapman, Arsenal's legendary manager of the 1920s and 30s, who was seen as a pioneer in the game. Both were raised in Kiveton Park. Speaking to people in the village and they'll tell you about the raised eyebrows they get when they tell people - in a broad Yorkshire accent - they come from Wales. But are there any hints of the country in the village? Our efforts to find any Welsh descendants of those who moved to work in the mines proved fruitless and, just when it looks like there is nothing Welsh in its namesake village, Rev Schofield comes up with the goods. He pops into his church and comes out from one of the rooms clutching that unmistakeable emblem of Wales: The dragon. An "amazing" choir from Ynysybwl visited St John The Baptist Church in 2006 and - being generous-spirited Welsh people - presented the church with a gift. But one of the uses of this statue would send a chill down the spine of any patriotic Welsh person. "It's quite an aid for St George's Day," says Rev Schofield, a knowing smile spreading across his face.

Winchester unexploded 'WW2' bomb closes city centre

Summary: Homes were evacuated and part of a city centre was closed after a suspected World War Two bomb was discovered in a river.

The piece of unexploded ordnance was found in the River Itchen near Blue Ball Hill, Winchester. A bomb disposal team removed the device but the area was closed off to the public until about 20:20 BST on Friday. Road closures were later lifted, and residents were allowed to return to their homes. A performance by comedian Shappi Khorsandi at the Theatre Royal Winchester went ahead. She tweeted: "I'm so excited my Winchester show is sold out... this is my uni town and all my uni friends have come too... but Winchester city centre has been closed because [of an] unexploded WW2 bomb." "That's so Winchester," she added.

Dolphin autopsy reveals deformity of spine

Summary: A dead dolphin washed up on one of Scotland's beaches was autopsied by a veterinary team and BBC presenter and diving expert Paul Rose. He describes the fascinating, if somewhat gory business of an open-air post-mortem.

"If killed by an attack, the dolphin would have multiple internal injuries including bruising around the head and thorax, skeletal injuries including broken ribs and spine. "Broken ribs can lead to punctured lungs. Ruptured liver and lungs can be the cause of death, if not it is often a combination of shock and respiratory difficulty from the damaged lungs." Andrew Brownlow is the veterinary investigations officer, at the Scottish Agricultural College (SAC). Each year approximately 160 whales, seals, porpoises and dolphins are washed up on Scottish beaches, and it falls to the dedicated team at the SAC to investigate how and why they have died. He said: "We try to find out why they died in case there are any diseases or pollution we should be aware of. It also helps increase our knowledge of these animals to make it easier to identify any potential threats to these creatures. "Large whales have to be autopsied on the beach as it is almost impossible to transport them and the team have to work fast as whales can spontaneously explode as they decompose. Smaller mammals, like the emasculated bottlenose dolphin on my bench, are taken into the laboratory for a comprehensive post-mortem." Andrew had prepared me well for this gory work and I was wearing full waterproofs, Wellington boots and two sets of gloves including a knife-proof one for my left hand. He quickly identified the dolphin as a young male bottlenose dolphin, found dead on a beach near Aberdeen. Initial observations including weight (60kgs) and length (65cm) were recorded and we noted that the dolphin had some signs of a relatively harmless pox on his back along with scarring at the base of his fin. His flippers and sides had sets of regular scratch scars, like small rake marks which puzzled me. "There is some old damage, rows of parallel scars over a bruise, these are consistent with past dolphin attacks, it's their teeth marks," said Andrew, who lined up a dolphin jaw to the scratches. We could see that these were dolphin tooth marks - apparently a sign of quite normal behaviour. The birds had been quick to take advantage of the corpse on the beach and we could see plenty of evidence of their pecking at the skin. I was admiring the beautiful, iconic curve of the dolphin's back when Andrew pointed out that dolphins only maintain this shape when they are alive. I felt along the spine and it was clear that it was indeed bent. My scalpel cut easily through the thick blubber and I removed a large slab from his left side to reveal the innermost wonders. As we delved deeper, Andrew held up the windpipe and lungs to point out that the lungs told the story of how the calf had been laying on his right side, as the right lung was heavy and squashed. We celebrated the dolphin's ability to dive deep by measuring its chest capacity compared to mine, and I was surprised to learn that dolphins' two kidneys have the capacity of a thousand human kidneys so that they can process sea water. The heart and liver looked huge to me, and as we examined and removed the organs Andrew pronounced them all to be apparently normal. I then ran my hands across the ribs to check for any damage and with nothing unusual to record we used big industrial shears to cut the ribs from the backbone. We kept at it, and I removed everything that Andrew would let me and quite understandably, he tackled the more delicate sections such as the adrenal glands (normal and not swollen which would indicate high levels of stress), the testes, the spleen and the removal of the head. Aside from a lurking smell of death in the background there were really no extra unpleasant smells to contend with. There was a lot of blood of course, but we washed this easily down the drain on my bench. Finally we could clearly see the spine. It had a massive deformity, almost a U-bend, beginning just behind his fin. It was this bend that had given our dolphin what appeared to be a "normal swimming" look. "These deformities are common in young dolphins from the Moray Firth," said Andrew. Andrew formed a hypothesis that put the little dolphin's short life into perspective. The spinal deformity he was born with was no hindrance at all while he was swimming and feeding from his mother. The veterinarian said: "From this initial examination it looks like the damage caused to the dolphin calf's spine prevented it from being able to go under the water. "The lack of subcutaneous fat, the fat under the skin, and fat around the organs means the dolphin wasn't feeding, probably due to its damaged back." So when it came time to fend for himself, the calf just could not keep up the pace and fell behind the pod. When he was washed up he was alive, but had died after some time on the beach. This looks to be a tough outcome, but his early demise could have been much tougher, as it is not uncommon for young dolphins to be repeatedly attacked by adults. A group of male dolphins work at separating the calf from its mother, then ram it and hold it underwater. "There are a few ideas from pollution causing developmental defects affecting their spines to attacks by other dolphins. These attacks are associated with dolphin infanticide. "The reasons are not completely understood, it could be by females when there is food pressure or males to increase their chance of breeding as the females can mate again after only a few days once their calf has died. "It's a complex issue and can have a big effect on small populations of cetaceans." This behaviour seems a long way from the smiling, companionable and heroic friends who come and join us at sea, playing in boats' bow waves.

100 Women 2015: The grandmother looking for Argentina's stolen babies

Summary: Estela de Carlotto is a 85-year-old Argentine activist and the president of The Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, an organisation that reunites biological grandparents with people that were snatched as babies in prisons and clandestine detention centres by the 1970s military junta. Last year, after nearly four decades looking for him, Ms de Carlotto was reunited with her own grandson Guido. She talked to BBC Mundo's Ignacio de los Reyes about the experience.

On 5 August 2014, after 36 years looking for him, a judge told me my grandson Guido had been found. When I first saw a picture of him as a baby, at a time when he was being raised by another family, my heart broke. Why couldn't I have taken care of him? Why couldn't I have seen that cute little face? Why couldn't I have been the one buying him a new bike or knitting clothes for him? There is no way to make up for lost time. Estela de Carlotto is one of our 100 Women 2015 This year's season features two weeks of inspirational stories about the BBC's 100 Women and others who are defying stereotypes around the world. Like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram using the hashtag #100Women. Listen to programmes here. It has been a year already and we are still getting to know each other. This case helped to raise awareness of the hundreds of babies that are still missing in Argentina, so people understand and do not forget. But above all, it was proof that there can be a fight of love, perseverance and respect… and that fight can be successful. A woman's force We women have a powerful force inside us. But we are not aware of it until life puts us in these sorts of situations, in which we have to defend our children's lives. I learned that any effort is useless if it is not a common effort. There must be a collective fight, to which everyone brings the best of themselves. That has been the case with The Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo. When I started looking for my daughter, Laura, I soon realised I would spend my whole life fighting for this cause. Life is full of dangers and risks, of forces willing to break the life of those who think differently - we shouldn't stay indifferent to that, but we should fight with peace and love. Witnessing history I was born in 1930, the year of the first dictatorship in Argentina. In 1955, the presidential palace and the Plaza de Mayo were bombed in order to attack President Juan Domingo Peron. Hundreds of Peronists [supporters of President Peron] were executed, political parties were forbidden… and I did nothing to stop it. I thought that was all right, because I was raised to be against Peronism. My daughter Laura was a baby in 1955, and then two decades later she died fighting for the Peronist ideals. If I had taken to the streets and protested against that coup, maybe my daughter would still be alive today. Now, my duty is to teach people that we do not have to be enemies just because we think differently. On ageing There are pros and cons that come with age. Age gives women experience: you learn things but you walk more slowly! We want to do so many things and the body will just not let us. I have a mind of someone in their 20s and the body of an 85-year-old. There are so many women around the world, so many mothers and grandmothers that have organised themselves into pressure groups inspired by the Argentine example. The more united we are in our fight, the more effective we will be in avoiding the same mistakes of the past.

American Foulbrood bee disease found in Stranraer

Summary: An outbreak of a disease which can wipe out honey bee colonies has been found in an apiary in the Stranraer area.

Lab tests have confirmed the case of American Foulbrood (AFB) and the infected hive has been destroyed. Outbreaks of AFB have previously been reported and dealt with in the area over recent years. The Scottish government said there were no risks to public health from AFB and no implications for the quality and safety of honey. The movement of bees and related equipment into or out of the affected apiary are under specific controls. Bee farmers and beekeepers are being urged to be vigilant for signs of the disease, to maintain good husbandry practices and to notify any suspicion of disease to the Scottish government.

Access all areas: The disability-friendly rock festival

Summary: So-called relaxed performances at theatres and cinemas are a welcome innovation for families with a disabled member who finds it difficult to be silent. One Yorkshire couple are taking accessibility even further, with a disability-friendly music festival.

By Emma TraceyBBC News, Ouch "Many mainstream events make concessions and allowances for disabled people," says Caroline Sutton, who runs the festival in Ilkley with her husband Richard. The inspiration for their accessible event came from speaking with families they'd met since having a disabled child. Both long-time fans of live music events, the Suttons call their festival Disability Rocks. As well as the expected accessible toilets and ramps, there is a sensory tent, changing facilities for adults and children, the space to spread out on the ground, as well as designated quiet areas for those who get sensory overload. At mainstream rock festivals, it's noisy and very crowded. Caroline knows the feeling of needing a space where you can just be yourself and have fun without worrying about what others might consider anti-social. "If their child has a meltdown in the supermarket, parents get looks from staff and customers implying that they are not a good parent or that their child is badly behaved," she says. "If someone does the same at Disability Rocks, no-one bats an eyelid." Many families with a disabled member feel a day out is impossible or "not for them" but the little extras at this festival are designed to make it more achievable. One supportive touch is a team of 60 expert volunteers, known as Helping Hands, who mingle like the Olympic Games Makers ready to help where needed. "The volunteers push wheelchairs, help with directions and round up runaways," explains Richard. When families get settled, it can be disruptive to move. He says: "The volunteers will fetch food and drinks for groups and help out with toilet trips." The event features local bands, singing - accompanied by Makaton sign language - and DJ workshops. There is also a disabled comedian, Francesca Martinez. Disability Rocks is funded through ticket sales, stall fees and grants, including one from the Arts Council. It's the second year for the festival. Last year drew a crowd of 750. "While mainstream access at events is great," says Caroline, "families sometimes feel more relaxed when disability is the rule, rather than the exception." Disability Rocks takes place on Saturday 8 June at Nell Bank in Ilkley, West Yorkshire. You can follow Ouch on Twitter and on Facebook

The prisoner 'trapped' 10 years into a 10-month jail sentence

Summary: Justice Secretary Michael Gove has ordered a review of the position of thousands of prisoners serving a sentence known as an IPP or Imprisonment for Public Protection. Many are considered to be languishing inside because they are several years over the minimum sentence they were given.

By Zoe ConwayReporter, BBC Radio 4 Today James Ward was given a 10-month IPP for arson in 2006. Now nearly 10 years on, he is still inside and has no release date. He regularly self-harms, sets light to his cell, barricades himself in and has staged dirty protests. With a low IQ, and mental health problems, he cannot cope with prison life. His sister, April, fears what he might do next. "I do believe that one day we'll get the phone call that Jimmy has taken his own life, definitely." 'Trapped in a box' Now 31, James has been writing to Radio 4's Today programme to explain what life is like for him inside. "I find prison hard to cope with, being trapped in a box," he writes. "Prison is not fit to accommodate people like me with mental health problems. It's made me worse. How can I change in a place like this? I wake up every morning scared of what the day may hold." James' teenage years were troubled. He was in and out of trouble with the police and his parents could not cope with his behaviour. He got into a scuffle with his father, Bill, over the family dog and lashed out resulting in a year in prison for actual bodily harm. But Bill says James regrets what he did. "He's told me it was the worst mistake he's ever made... he was young, he is a nice lad, everybody likes James," Bill says. Close to the end of his year-long sentence, but unable to cope with prison life, James set fire to the mattress in his cell. Because of this, a judge gave him an IPP for arson and told him he would have to serve a minimum of 10 months. That was 10 years ago. Since then, James has set light to his cell several times. His solicitor, Pippa Carruthers, says it is linked to his mental health. "He becomes overwhelmed," she says. "He loses sight of what he needs to do to prove to a parole board that he is no longer a risk and he acts destructively." 'Kafkaesque' IPPs were introduced by Labour in 2003. The then-government estimated the sentence would apply to 900 serious violent and sexual offenders but was actually applied far more widely and at its peak 6,000 people were serving the sentence - some for relatively minor offences such as stealing a mobile phone. The sentence was abolished by Conservative Justice Secretary Ken Clarke in 2012 who called them a "stain" on the criminal justice system. But 4,000 people remain in prison and nearly 400 have served more than five times the minimum term they were given. The sentence has been called Kafkaesque as prisoners remain trapped inside because they cannot prove to a parole board that they are no longer a threat to the public. They may have to wait years to get a parole review, or are unable to get on courses to deal with their behaviour. Mr Clarke told Radio 4's Today programme: "It is quite absurd that there are people who might be there for the rest of their lives, in theory, who are serving a sentence which Parliament agreed to get rid of because it hadn't worked as anybody intended. "The trouble is this ridiculous burden on the Parole Board of saying they can only release people if it's proved to them that they're not really a danger to the public. "No prisoner can prove that - you never know when people are going to lose their control, what's going to happen to them when they're released." He added that the key thing was to protect the public by making sure fewer criminals go on to reoffend, through helping them find work and accommodation upon release from jail. Michael Gove has now asked chairman of the parole board Nick Hardwick to review how IPP prisoners are treated. While the justice secretary has said that dangerous offenders must be kept inside, he says he wants the majority of IPP prisoners to be "given hope and a reason to engage in rehabilitative activity". He wants to see the prison population reduced. 'Lost and confused' James' mother, father and sister visited him recently in prison. They said they were worried by his appearance describing him as "lost and confused". The Parole Board has not reviewed James' case for two years and because the system has failed to carry out a required psychological and psychiatric assessment of him, it could be another year before he gets a parole board hearing. He could be in prison for several more years. In his last letter to the Today programme, James said he felt like he was "rotting" in the prison system.

Tesco, Waitrose and InPost sign up for London Tube click and collect

Summary: Three retailers are set to provide click and collect services at Tube stations.

Tesco, Waitrose and InPost are finalising details with Transport for London (TfL) and hope the service will be available in the coming months. There are also plans to expand a pilot with Asda and talks with Amazon to provide a service are "continuing". But Matthew Jaffa, of the Federation of Small Businesses, said it was "another nail in the coffin" for shops. The click and collect service enables customers to place orders online and collect them from stations or station car parks. 'Modernising stations' Tesco plans to provide collection points at Osterley, Newbury Park, Rayners Lane, Finchley Central, Arnos Grove and Cockfosters. Waitrose will operate at six stations and InPost, which delivers parcels, will work out of three stations, although the locations are yet to be decided. Mike Brown, managing director of London Underground, said: "The primary role of our stations must always be travel and we will never compromise that, but there is much more we can and will be doing to improve and modernise our stations." Robin Phillips, e-commerce director at Waitrose said it would "reach customers in locations where we don't have a shop". But Mr Jaffa said "bulk buying" was a concern for smaller retailers. He said: "It's another reason why we might see certain shops suffering, we need to try and make sure that businesses can compete. "There is a place for online, but we need to ensure there's a balance for shopping online and shopping in the community." TfL said it was also working with small businesses and recently helped Rockflower open a stall and vending flower kiosk at Blackfriars underground station.

Hyponatraemia: Report into NI deaths delayed until May

Summary: The final report of the hyponatraemia inquiry into the deaths of five children across hospitals in Northern Ireland has been delayed, the tribunal's chairman has said.

Mr Justice O'Hara said he had hoped to publish the report this month, but it will now be delayed until at least May. He said it was because he had received extensive written submissions in recent weeks. He added that it was "a necessary and time-consuming process". Mr Justice O'Hara said this was on top of "the huge number of transcripts, witness and expert statements which have to be cross-referenced". The inquiry has been examining the deaths of three children in hospitals in Northern Ireland, the events following the death of another and a number of issues arising from the death of a fifth child. Hyponatraemia is the term for a low level of sodium in the bloodstream, which causes the brain cells to swell with too much water.
