What can Trump learn from a wrestler and an action hero?

Summary: In January Donald Trump will become the first person sworn in as US president without prior experience in elective office or at the highest levels of the military. While his accomplishment is unprecedented, two modern governors who used their fame as a springboard to public office could serve as guides - and cautionary tales.

Anthony ZurcherNorth America reporter@awzurcheron Twitter Dean Barkley remembers what professional-wrestler-turned-politician Jesse Ventura said moments after learning that he had won his upstart independent bid to be governor of Minnesota in 1998. "Now what the hell do we do?" Barkley, who served as the Ventura campaign chair, says he was equally flummoxed. At one point during the evening, he went looking for the briefing books put together by the current governor's office that laid out the post-election transition process. They were buried, unread, in the trunk of his car. Mr Ventura's victory was the culmination of an improbable campaign, where the man who goes by the nickname "the Body" prevailed despite being vastly outspent by his Democratic and Republican rivals. He ran as the straight-talking outsider, gaining national attention with a memorable television advertising campaign featuring Mr Ventura as a children's action figure fighting lobbyists and corrupt politicians. When he first launched his bid, Mr Ventura was laughed off as a joke. As election day approached, few gave the outsider, anti-establishment candidate any chance of winning. And on election night, even Ventura's own staff was caught flat-footed, unprepared to face a reality that voters had handed their man the reins of power. "It dawned on me that absolutely no-one knew what to do beginning the next day," says Bill Hillsman, the media consultant who came up with the action-figure advert. Although he wasn't a governing expert, at 3 am on election night Hillsman found himself alone in a Denny's diner with a sheet of legal paper, making a list of all the things he could think of that the nascent Ventura administration had to do when the sun came up. And when daylight broke, the phone started ringing off the hook. "It was a lot of unions, a number of trade groups, people who had business with the government," Hillsman said. "Nobody knew how to go about getting hold of the governor-elect. We were the only connection they could figure out." In other words, it was situation not unlike the one that reportedly unfolded in Trump campaign headquarters two weeks ago, as aides and advisors scrambled to bring order from the chaos of an improbable victory. "For the first week or two it was pretty chaotic, just trying to get our feet on the ground of what to do because we didn't have any political insiders to guide us," Barkley says. He and former congressman Tim Penny hired a team of human resources experts to screen resumes for government positions, then forwarded the top four to Mr Ventura for consideration. They issued a ban on lobbyist involvement and, per the governor-elect's instructions, made selections based on qualifications and not party affiliation. It's the same advice Barkley says he would give Mr Trump, who he says "pulled off a miracle" by winning the presidency. "Trust your instincts," he says. "They got you where you are. Don't get side-tracked by political insiders who basically just want you to do their bidding. Pick the best and the brightest regardless of whether they supported you or didn't support you." So far, that hasn't seemed to be the strategy Mr Trump is following, as he has opted to tap faithful advisors Jeff Sessions for attorney general and Michael Flynn for national security advisor. If he's going to pursue the Ventura model, he'll have to cast a wider net. According to Hillsman, Mr Ventura's status as a political independent was an advantage that Mr Trump, who often campaigned with little help from members of his own party, should be maximising. "If you don't owe anybody, you can absolutely pick the best people for the job," he says. The Ventura administration's goal was to strike a non-ideological balance between the Democratic and Republican parties in the state, Barkley says - and for the first two years of his four-year term, it seemed to work. Mr Ventura had campaigned as a no-nonsense outsider, and he was able to win legislative support for a sales tax rebate, property tax reform and increased funding for mass transit programmes and public schools. The second half of his term, however, was typified by Mr Ventura's recurring feuds with the media and political dysfunction in the legislature, as an economic downturn led to budget deficits. He moved out of the governor's mansion to live in his private house. He drew sharp criticism for the kind of unscripted remark that had been shrugged off during his campaign and the heady early days of his administration but served as a lightning rod when his fortunes turned south. Mr Ventura announced he would not run for re-election, which Barkley - who had taken a high-level job in the administration - said made Democrats and Republicans solely focused on the race to replace him. "No one wanted to give him credit anymore for anything," he said. "The whole mindset changed, and it was basically a nightmare - nothing got done." As Mr Ventura's political star was setting in Minnesota, in California another unconventional politician was about make his move. Blockbuster action-film star Arnold Schwarzenegger had always entertained the idea of a political career, but it took a strange confluence of events - the recall election of the unpopular Democratic Governor Gray Davis - to elevate him to the California governorship in 2003. Like Mr Ventura before him (and Mr Trump years later), Mr Schwarzenegger campaigned as the renegade outsider who would clean up a corrupt political system. He travelled around the state with a broom and took the stage at his rallies to Twisted Sister rock anthem We're Not Going to Take It (a song Mr Trump adopted in 2015 until the band leader asked him to stop playing it). "Arnold Schwarzenegger drew huge crowds around the state due in large part to his celebrity, along with the frustration people had with government and the status quo," says former Congressman David Dreier, who co-chaired the Schwarzenegger campaign and served as the head of his transition team. Mr Dreier adds that Schwarzenegger rallies had much of the same drama and excitement that characterised Mr Trump's presidential campaign. For instance, during one rally, the actor-turned-candidate dropped a wrecking ball on an old car to demonstrate his opposition to a car tax imposed by the current governor. "Arnold Schwarzenegger in many ways blazed the way for Donald Trump," he says. Mr Dreier says Mr Schwarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver, asked him to head the governor-elect transition team at a Starbucks coffee shop about a week before election day. They told him they wanted someone with government experience - but without ties to the state capital in Sacramento. "I could count probably on two hands the number of times I've been to Sacramento," Mr Dreier says. Mr Dreier, who is now advising the Trump transition team, says the most important thing an outsider candidate can do during his transition is to use it to set the administration's priorities and bring in veteran political hands - something that Mr Trump did when he hired Republican Party Chair Reince Priebus to be his chief of staff. "What do you want to accomplish?" he says. "That's what Donald Trump needs to be thinking about." Upon assuming the governorship, Schwarzenegger faced his own steep political learning curve, as he struggled against an uncooperative state legislature and grappled with reconciling the grand promises he made on the campaign trail. He tried to circumvent the state legislature by offering ballot measures Californians could directly vote on, but all his proposals were defeated. "Being a political novice meant he didn't understand how difficult some of these things would be and what the limits of the power of the governor are," says Terry Christensen, a political science professor at San Jose State University who co-wrote a book about the Schwarzenegger governorship. "As an outsider he had a different perspective, and maybe it opened him to ideas that insiders wouldn't entertain, but you still have the challenge of bringing those ideas to fruition," he adds. Mr Schwarzenegger had his share of legislative accomplishments, such as co-operating with the Democrats to pass more stringent environmental regulations. Like Mr Ventura, however, the final days of his administration were typified by frustration, large budget deficits and sinking popularity, as the political powers that be reasserted control. "These past seven years," wrote LA Magazine's Ed Leibowitz in 2011, "we Californians have experienced an Arnold Schwarzenegger many of us wish we'd never met: a politician who often seemed in over his head, who prevaricated and bungled, switching sides as it suited him to save his political skin." The lustre of the outsider delivered powerful public office to Mr Schwarzenegger, as it did Mr Ventura, but the grind of governing eventually brought both men down to political bedrock. Back in 2000, when Mr Ventura was still near the height of his popularity, Mr Trump - then contemplating a third-party bid for the presidency - travelled to Minnesota to meet with the team that helped secure the governorship for a man who had made his name taunting opponents in the wrestling ring. According to Barkley, the New York real estate mogul was an attentive listener. "He's not stupid," Barkley said. "He came to find out how the hell we did it here. And he followed our blueprint pretty well." It's a blueprint that will put Mr Trump in the White House. It's not quite as clear about what he should do once he gets there.

County lines: Girls under the radar in drug gangs

Summary: "I've had a gun held to my head in country. My friends have been stabbed in country. When you're in the countryside it's business, no one's laughing and joking. We're here to make money and not get killed."

By Emma Forde and Jane Deith File on 4 Danielle* was 15 when she was kidnapped and raped in London. She told the police what happened but claimed she didn't know who attacked her. She lied because she was scared and so no-one was ever prosecuted. She was terrified she would be attacked again and, with no family to help her, she turned to a gang on her estate, knowing they could keep her safe. The group was running county lines all over the country. 'Dangerous people' "I wanted to be protected by them. Let me go to the scariest, most dangerous people and fit in with them basically. Nobody, nothing could hurt me when I'm in this group of people." County lines is the term used to describe criminal gangs who move illegal drugs from big cities to more rural locations and sell them via dedicated mobile phone lines. They often use threats and violence to make children and vulnerable adults move and store the drugs, as well as weapons and cash. The National Crime Agency (NCA) estimates profits from the trade nationwide are around £500m a year. Danielle became the girlfriend of one of the gang's senior figures. It was a violent relationship but says she felt safer than being on her own. Soon she was drawn into their world. Harder to spot "I had to make myself useful and my boyfriend at the time, that was what he wanted me to do. I was just prepping the drugs in my house." It wasn't long before her role grew. She was sent to sell heroin and crack in towns and cities far away from London. Danielle says girls are seen as assets by the drug dealers for helping them avoid detection. It's harder for police to spot them 'in country'. "I was told, 'You're small and you're white so you're not gonna get stopped,' which worked for a long time. "People don't talk about girls in county line gangs, we're just hush hush. We're really in the forefront of these businesses because we fly under the radar, which is why girls are being used." Death threats Danielle says seeing extreme violence became normal and she was often made to carry drugs inside her. "I had to put that inside me. I didn't want to do that, it was like forced on me. It's not pleasant, it hurts. "I knew in the dark times when I was in my own bed, that this is scary. I didn't know I was trapped until I tried to leave". Danielle says the fear of being seen as a snitch stopped her from getting out sooner. "That's why it's so hard to leave, because you never want to be that girl that's told the police anything. I never did tell the police anything. There was the threats, death threats for a long time." It's not known just how many girls like Danielle are involved in county lines across the UK. Lizzie's* daughter, Cara*, was a normal teenager living in the West Midlands who was into sports and good at English. But when she was 13 she made friends with a gang of older girls. "Her appearance started to change, her social friends started to change, her whole behaviour started to change. She was getting into trouble at school, getting excluded and hanging around with people who were stealing," says Lizzie. Then she started going missing. The police told Lizzie they were concerned Cara was being groomed and exploited. On one occasion, she was discovered with an older woman in a flat in Northamptonshire which contained drugs and cash. She was brought home by police but soon went missing again. Lizzie was terrified. "You fear that your child could be dead, you just can't sleep, you can't think, you can't focus and it's high levels of stress." Following a police investigation, Cara was eventually found in a flat in Lincoln. 'Fear of death' The 14-year-old had been trafficked there by a drug dealer from Birmingham who was running a county line. She had been made to deliver heroin and crack cocaine night and day, only going out to sell drugs. Police found her and a teenage boy in the freezing flat surrounded by drugs, syringes and a blooded knife. "He instilled the fear of death into those children. He had no intention of giving those children anything. They were too frightened even to leave the flat to buy food to eat," says Lizzie. The man responsible went on to be prosecuted and jailed for 14 years. Cara is back living with her mum and going to college but Lizzie says the experience will affect her daughter for life. "She feared for her own life. Even to this day she's still not talking about what happened to her. She says people will kill her, they'll kill me." In 2018, London's Rescue and Response programme was set up to help under-25s caught in the world of county lines. It recently identified 4,013 individuals from the capital involved in county lines, 10% of whom were female. One of the organisations which works with girls and young women referred to the Rescue and Response programme is Abianda. Its chief executive, Abi Billinghurst, told File on 4: "There are a vast number of young women who go unrecognised, under the radar. They've always been involved; it's just nobody's ever looked under the stone to find out." The National County Lines Coordination Centre was set up a year ago to map and disrupt the thousands of county lines operating across the country. So far it's safeguarded more than 2,400 vulnerable people, of whom roughly 10 to 15% were girls and young women. And senior police officers in charge expect the numbers to go up. The government recently pledged £20m to fight county line gangs. Kit Malthouse MP, the minister for crime and policing, acknowledges government can do more. "Where we know there's a significant level of vulnerability, I'll be reviewing all of those programs and seeing whether we need to expand them." Danielle was caught with drugs in her 20s and convicted. She finally managed to escape the gang but had to start her life from scratch. She's now studying at university and works with a charity called Advance, helping other young women in similar situations. "I've got a passion for helping girls that were like me, because we're called criminals, we're arrested. "Not one police officer said to me, "Are you okay, what's going on, what's behind the doors?' I really want people in power to understand - Don't let anyone fall through the cracks." * Names have been changed to protect identities. File on 4's Lost on the line: The county lines gangs recruiting girls is on BBC Radio 4 on Tuesday 15th October at 20:00 BST and available afterwards on BBC Sounds.

Ciao Italia! Germany's other migrant influx

Summary: More than a million refugees and migrants from war-torn regions of the Middle East and Africa came to Germany in 2015. It was the news story of the year. But at the same time Germany has been quietly undergoing a radical transformation with another influx of people from closer to home.

By Damien McGuinnessBBC News, Berlin In my neighbourhood of former communist east Berlin there's an Italian deli with the best ciabattas in town. Glamorous young Italian waiters from the Italian restaurant opposite run across the road for occasional emergency supplies of pecorino or parmesan, shouting extravagantly "buongiorno" to their German neighbours. On the same street, there's also a stylish Catalan restaurant, round the corner at least three other Italian eateries and on the next block a Spanish restaurant which holds regular Flamenco workshops. Welcome to the new Germany. Until a few years ago our local cafes were more about wurst and sauerkraut than pizza and pasta. German stability But in 2009 the eurozone debt crisis hit, bringing Southern European economies to their knees and pushing a new generation of young Greeks, Italians and Spaniards to the richer North to find work - changing the face, and the food, of Germany. There are more foreigners living in Germany today than at any time in the country's history. One in 10, or some 8.2 million people in Germany, are non-German. Many of them are young, educated graduates from crisis-rocked Southern Europe. Of these, some 400,000 from Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy are employed taxpayers in Germany. Many more are freelancers, students or self-employed workers. "There was no work available in Italy, the country was doing really badly economically and there was an uncertain political climate. It was a chaotic moment," explained Luigi Serenelli, a 33-year-old Italian with two masters degrees, who moved to Berlin in 2012 with aspirations to become a journalist. "Germany represented stability and an opportunity to find work and really do something with your life," he says. Read and watch more from the Germany Direct season of features and video. For whom the Bavarian bells toll Sleepless in a German salt mine Can cool Berlin survive gentrification? Your pictures: Germany How Germany's love of silence led to the first earplug Living the good life in Berlin's allotments In Spain and Greece youth unemployment hovers at around 50%. In Italy it is around 40%. In Germany it's only 7%. The influx is welcome however as many German employers can't fill job vacancies, particularly doctors, qualified care staff and specialised engineers. Which is where savvy young Southern Europeans come in. Faced with no prospects at home the clever workers with get-up-and-go have just got up and gone and headed to Germany. They're often prepared to do the demanding jobs that many German workers don't want — particularly in the care sector, where pay is low by German standards, but still much higher than in Southern Europe. A country of immigration In fact migration sparked by the eurozone crisis has changed Germany irrevocably, believes Professor Dr. Alexander Kritikos, an economist at the influential Berlin research institute DIW, who grew up in Germany but whose father is Greek. "Over the last four or five years Germany has changed enormously. We suddenly became a 'country of immigration' without even noticing," he says. This is radical because the last time Southern Europeans migrated to Germany en masse, they weren't even supposed to stay, let alone change the country. In December, Germany quietly marked an anniversary. In 1955 Germany signed its first so-called guest worker contract, not with Turkey, as is often believed, but with Italy. Other similar contracts were signed with Greece, Spain and Portugal. The aim was to bring in manual workers to help support Germany's booming economy. They were called "guests" as it was assumed they would go back one day. But many decided to stay, and became part of the country, whether Germany wanted them to or not. That was when Germany's first generation of Italian restaurants arrived. This time round, instead of agricultural labourers and factory workers, it's Southern European doctors, engineers and software designers who have come. As EU citizens they enjoy the same rights as Germans. So specialist engineers have headed to the wealth-generating manufacturing firms of Baden-Wuerttemberg and science graduates to Bavaria's biotech or pharmaceutical sector. "It's a win-win situation for Germany," says Professor Dr. Daniel Goeler, migration expert at the University of Bamberg. "(Germany) gets more out of it than the migrants themselves probably. They come under their own steam, specifically to the parts of Germany that need them. "They might arrive on a Saturday with a job contract in their pocket, ready to start work on a Monday. They don't need support from the state, they pay their taxes and find their own accommodation. For the German state it's like a gift from heaven." So they are better accepted by German society than the "guest workers" of the 20th century. And with similar European cultural attitudes they are often seen as easier to integrate than migrants from Africa or the Middle East. The large luxury hotel chain Steigenberger has recently taken on 13 young Spanish trainees who are learning German and will do the same strict three-year hotel apprenticeship as Germans. They learn all aspects of the hotel trade and have a take-home pay of 818 euros (£621) a month. If all goes well at the end of their training they will be offered a full-time permanent position. Roberto Rojas, a spokesman for the hotel chain, says that the chance to employ workers from other European countries is a bonus. "Having staff with other languages and from other cultures is a real advantage for our guests who come from all over the world. The hotel industry thrives on diversity," he said. "Our Spanish trainees have a completely different level of motivation. They've left their families behind and are learning a new language. And with youth unemployment at 50 % in Spain, they are really grateful to have this chance. We see that in the way they are prepared to go the extra mile in their work." "It's given us all the chance to succeed," says Luigi, who has learnt German and is now working as a journalist. The next chapter One of his Italian friends has found a job as an engineer in Bremen. Another set up a website in Germany which then gave him enough experience to find work back in Italy. And that could become the next chapter of the story. Unlike previous generations of workers from Southern Europe, these latest arrivals are well-educated, mobile and living in a globalised world which makes it easier to move on to the next opportunity. They've helped Germany. And in many cases Germany has helped them. But now that growth is slowly returning to Italy and Spain, some are wondering whether it's time to return home.

Cardiff police patrols increased over 'youth gatherings'

Summary: Safety measures are being stepped up in Cardiff this weekend after concerns over "planned gatherings of youths".

Police are increasing patrols in the city centre, after being alerted to social media posts. A spokesman from South Wales Police said: "We'd like to thank the public who have already made us aware of these posts. "Any anti-social or illegal behaviour will not be tolerated and dealt with robustly." It comes after increased police powers to stop and search people without suspicion were issued last month in Cardiff. A 24-hour section 60 order was authorised after two "isolated and unrelated" stabbings in the city.

Covid-19: Archbishop Sancroft High School finds positives in lockdown

Summary: After the prime minister announced schools in England would not reopen to all pupils until 8 March at the earliest, BBC News visited a secondary school in Norfolk to see how its head teacher, staff and pupils were coping.

The head teacher Rob Connelly says he has seen a number of positives come out of the way his "amazing" staff at Archbishop Sancroft High School have adapted to lockdown learning. "We've had to be very agile and improvise and learn new skills," he says. "Seeing our teachers develop new ways of delivering our curriculum has been remarkable. "We will use some of the skills that perhaps we would never have considered, when school returns full time, and our teaching will be enhanced." The school is close-knit, with just 485 pupils from the small Norfolk town of Harleston and its surrounding villages. "It's a vibrant place and we miss that noise and we miss having the children, and the life of the school within this building," he adds. "But we've found this has galvanised our community; the amount of pastoral work our staff are doing with students, with welfare checks - we are speaking to students and families every day. "Those relationships are so important and communication for us has been critical." His toughest challenge as a head teacher has been uncertainty and he says he welcomes the latest decision by government, as it gives them fair warning and a chance to plan. "We are hopeful there are some positive elements to this, and we need to convey that message." The teacher Throughout January, Lucy Field has been delivering live PE lessons from her living room - not unlike Joe Wicks - to help keep students "up and at 'em". "It's gone down really well and I try to do something different each week, like 'beat the teacher', where teachers do an exercise, time it, and challenge the students to do better than them," she says. "It's energised the students and they've loved taking us on, it's all about keeping fit and having fun at home." But it's not all plain sailing. "I've been teaching for 15 years and I've never known a year like it," she adds. "Teachers are designed to be around students, and that's what I've missed - the daily interactions and conversations - but you just have to adapt, think on your feet, and stay positive. "I can't lie, it's been really challenging, but you have to dust yourself off and do your best for the kids, because that's what you're trained for. "It's about supporting each other, talking to each other, and just keeping each other going." The pupil Melissa, 15, feels very positive about her education since lockdown. "School is doing a good job at keeping the level of learning up, on a day-to-day level and helping us live our high school lives," she says. "It would be good if school could go back to normal and we could see our friends face-to-face, and socialise with teachers, other than through a screen. "The best thing is still being able to see your teachers and friends and communicating through texting on the Zoom calls, but the downside is that if you need help, you have to ask in front of the whole class, it's not like calling a teacher over to your desk. "But the school has done some really good work making sure the lessons are done properly and we're all at the level we need to be." Find BBC News: East of England on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

World Cup 2018: The dos and don'ts of celebrating a goal

Summary: Picture the scene: it is the dying moments of a World Cup match and the score is level. You receive the ball and take a speculative shot which sails straight past the goalkeeper and into the top corner. What do you do next?

Some might run to the touchline and celebrate with a dramatic knee slide. The more acrobatic players may opt for a somersault or a backflip. But for others, the sheer joy of the moment can lead to some unconventional celebrations that draw the attention of the referee or, even more seriously, football's governing body Fifa. This is what happened to Switzerland duo Granit Xhaka and Xherdan Shaqiri, who have been fined for their choice of celebration during a 2-1 victory over Serbia last week. The families of both players are ethnic Albanians from the former Yugoslavia, where a Serbian crackdown on the Albanian population in Kosovo ended with Nato military intervention in 1999. After scoring, they made a gesture representing the eagle on the Albanian flag which critics said could inflame tensions among Serbian nationalists and ethnic Albanians. So what are the rules when it comes to celebrating a goal? And how should the authorities respond when a celebration goes too far? While players are free to show national flags or symbols - Shaqiri himself displays the Swiss flag on one boot and the Kosovan flag on the other - there is a rule against "provoking the general public". The governing body's disciplinary code makes clear that "anyone who provokes the general public during a match will be suspended for two matches and sanctioned with a minimum fine of 5,000 Swiss francs (£3,800)". Lawmaking body the International Football Association Board (Ifab) also states that a player must be given a yellow card for "gesturing or acting in a provocative, derisory or inflammatory way". In the end, Xhaka and Shaqiri were ruled guilty only of "unsporting behaviour". As a result they did not receive bans but fines of 10,000 Swiss francs (£7,632) each, while the team captain Stephan Lichtsteiner will pay a fine of 5,000 Swiss francs (£3,816). Political punishment While no player has ever been banned from the World Cup for provocation, club football has seen its fair share of political celebrations that have led to disciplinary action and a ticking off from the sport's higher-ups. In 1997, Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler showed his support for the city's striking dock workers after scoring against Norwegian team SK Brann. He lifted his shirt to reveal a T-shirt underneath that read "500 Liverpool dockers sacked since 1995". The player - who would go on to become one of Liverpool's top goal-scorers - was fined £900 for the celebration. The laws of the game explicitly state that "players must not reveal undergarments that show political... statements or images". More recently, French striker Nicolas Anelka was punished after celebrating a goal with the "quenelle" gesture - described as an inverted Nazi salute - while playing for West Bromwich Albion. Anelka said he did it in support of the controversial French comedian Dieudonne M'bala M'bala, who popularised the gesture and has been accused of anti-Semitism. The player was banned for five games and fined £80,000 by the Football Association (FA) before being sacked by the club. Rules and regulations Ultimately, political gestures are likely to land a player in hot water. But some of the creative celebrations at this year's World Cup have still managed to raise eyebrows while abiding by Fifa's rules. The body states that "players can celebrate when a goal is scored, but the celebration must not be excessive". It adds that "choreographed celebrations are not encouraged and must not cause excessive time-wasting." Despite this, players are rarely punished for choreographed celebrations. On Sunday, social media praised the Colombian team for showing off their celebratory dance routine during a 3-0 victory over Poland. England midfielder Jesse Lingard also showed imagination in his celebration inspired by the computer game Fortnite after scoring against Panama on Sunday. The player's "shoot dance" features as a taunt on the hugely popular game, which the England team are said to be big fans of. Both of these celebrations abide by Fifa's rules, which state that a player must be cautioned for: So providing that jubilant players avoid these no-nos, they are free to express their joy however they see fit. One theory that spread on social media following Portugal's 3-3 draw with Spain and England's win over Panama was that one player must stay on the pitch while the rest of the team is celebrating otherwise their opponents can kick-off. It came after videos showing Portugal's Jose Fonte and England's Kieran Trippier remaining on the pitch during their teams celebrations were widely shared on Twitter. But this is incorrect, as Fifa's rules make clear that "for every kick-off, all players, except the player taking the kick-off, must be in their own half of the field of play." So players can rest easy knowing that - however they choose to celebrate - they can share the ecstasy of scoring with the rest of the team.

Austin bombings: Texas city rattled by bomb attacks

Summary: The danger may be over but a string of bombings have rattled Austin's belief in itself as a laid-back oasis, as it now confronts the sort of stomach-churning headlines usually associated with bigger American cities.

By James JeffreyAustin, Texas Around the Texas state capital, the sound of sirens has been more frequent over the past few days. Hundreds of personnel including police, FBI agents, Texas Department of Public Safety troopers and bomb technicians have been working the case. It appears that investigation has finally proved successful as a man suspected of the bombings detonated a device killing himself on Wednesday morning as officers attempted to arrest him at a hotel north of the city. If, as seems likely, that brings to an end three weeks of uncertainty and fear, Austinites are still left trying to unravel events and come to a better understanding of what happened to their city usually famed as a liberal oasis. Three parcel bombs and a trip-wire device exploded over the course of 17 days in early March, then on Tuesday morning a fifth device exploded at a FedEx facility in the city of San Antonio - the package containing it was en route to Austin. Before the news emerged overnight that the suspect had been killed, there was a sense of unease. "I drive down the street where the trip-wire one exploded, so to have something like that five minutes from my house is a shock," says 31-year-old Jesse O'Brien. "You hear about this type of thing with other cities not Austin," says Brittaney Parsons, sitting opposite Mr O'Brien at Caffe Medici in West Austin. "We're only known for music festivals and people drinking." A few blocks from the café a UPS van pulls up to make an afternoon delivery to a house. "It's on my mind obviously," the driver says, adding he can't give his name as management have banned talking to press. "I'm not that worried about myself, but I don't want to be the one to deliver one of these packages to a family with children and have to live with that." Meanwhile, at the neighbourhood's Fire Station No 4, two firemen lift weights in the gym. "We've scaled back our daily tasks such as fire drills and building inspections as in the current climate we don't want to increase public unease by being too visual," says 30-year-old Alex Paranagua. "Also, it means we are ready to respond more quickly if needed." In downtown Austin, the normal hustle and bustle continued during Tuesday afternoon, with people sat outside bars, cafes and stores making the most of the sunshine. "I am not that surprised given the current political climate of divisiveness that is encouraging so much hate and violence," says 68-year-old Don Rypka outside the flagship Whole Foods Market. Others, however, are more taken aback. "Texas is so friendly and community orientated," says mother-of-two Camille Carson at Whole Foods. "Of all the places, Austin is the last one where I'd have thought this could happen." Before the trip-wire device in southwest Austin that injured two white men, the first three bombs targeted African-American households on the city's less affluent east side that historically has housed black and Latino residents. Austin has a long-chequered past of racial tensions and inequities at odds with its laid-back reputation. After the first bomb, people began to question whether Austin's police would have more readily sounded the alarm if the victim had been white and it had happened in a more affluent neighbourhood. "When does a story pick up stream and why - is it simply because of the volume or because the problem left East Austin [and threatened the rest of the city]," says Kevin Foster, a professor in the African and African Diaspora Studies department at the University of Texas at Austin, and who is involved in community programmes on the East Side. "I don't know the answer, but we need to ask the question. This community is used to institutional neglect and being marginalised." Others more closely affected by the bombings' aftermath have been left also mulling on the potentially problematic role of the media. "The coverage could be making it worse, calling it a serial bomber, with the bomber getting a thrill from it," says Adriana, the 25-year-old grand-daughter of the woman living opposite where the second parcel bomb detonated March 12 killing 17-year-old Draylen Mason. "We've seen it happening with shootings increasing - people can get the idea from media." Police say they still don't know the overall motive of the individual who blew himself up this morning, and are looking into whether he had any accomplices. They have also warned that people in Austin need to stay vigilant as they don't know how the suspect has spent the previous 24 hours. "I've been getting lots of messages from friends in other states checking in with me," says 37-year-old Blair Wagonen, walking her dog in East Austin. "Unfortunately, I'm not shocked by what's happened given the world we live in. But it is a bit weird given how liberal and community-based Austin is, unlike other big cities - most of my friends here have had the same reaction." As this week began, most Austinites repeated the refrain heard in other cities hit by attacks - life has to go on as normal as possible. That should be easier now that it appears the bombings are over. But there remains a sense that people feel caught out and almost let down to find that terrible events can happen in Austin too. "The more time goes by, this world doesn't seem to be getting better," says 57-year-old John Doyle, a retired firefighter, leaving an HEB supermarket on the east side. "It makes me think of the Bible's words: We live in perilous times."

What are X Factor's finalists up to?

Summary: Get ready for the good, the bad, the freaks and the emotional journeys - X Factor is about to start again with thousands of wannabes hoping to be the one that ends up with worldwide fame. So what happened to last year's finalists? The twelve acts were everywhere last year, but how have their fortunes fared?

By Frances CroninNewsbeat entertainment reporter ALEXANDRA BURKE Alexandra was the winner. But we've still not heard her new material. Signed to Simon Cowell's label, they've followed the same game plan as previous winner Leona Lewis, giving her time to work on her debutand teaming her up with top producers and writers. She's been flying backwards and forwards from LA working on the album that is due out on 26 October. She's been hanging out with Jay-Z, Timbaland and Beyonce but admits she's missed home. She admitted on Twitter she didn't know when the new series of X Factor was starting and still gets emotional if she watches it back. DIANA VICKERS Diana was seen as a potential winner but came fourth, going out in week nine. Straight after the show she was signed by RCA and has teamed up with Nerina Pallot, Lightspeed Champion and producer Guy Sigsworth who has worked with Bjork and Madonna. Her album is out early next year but one song, Jumping Into Rivers, has been leaked online already. We'll soon see her on the West End stage too. She's going to star in the revival of the award-winning play The Rise and Fall of Little Voice for a limited run from October in London. Diana says she hasn't stopped since the end of the show: "I've been doing a lot of gigs, after the X Factor tour it was straight into the recording studio and I've started rehearsing for the West End. I'm a busy bee, I've had to move to London - got my own little pad which is groovy." She's still in touch with her mentor Cheryl and has no regrets about going on the show: "Look at me, I'm in the West End, I've got my album coming out, I've met so many amazing people and I'm only 18, it doesn't get better than that." Find out more about Diana's new LP LAURA WHITE There was a massive row when Laura was voted out. Seen as a potential winner, she only made it to week five. Thousands petitioned to get her back in and her name was brought up in Parliament. Laura is about to release her first single. She's signed to an independent label and has been working with Ian Green who has worked with Madonna. Laura said: "For the past year I really just kept quiet for a while and really focused on my music. I've been working with Madonna's producer who has done all my album which I'm proud of musically. "I've gone completely different to where a lot of the old X Factor contestants are normally placed." Find out more about Laura working with Madge's producer EOGHAN QUIGG Coming third, Eoghan was quickly signed to RCA and released a self titled album that went to Number 14 in the chart. After impressing Boyzone on the show he was invited on tour with them. He's now doing gigs and appearances around Ireland and the UK. He's just done a Butlins tour with other X Factor contenders like Austin and Chico. He's trying to decide whether to go back to school. AUSTIN DRAGE Austin has been performing at a number of gigs and charity balls and the day X Factor starts will be performing at Lincoln Pride. He's got no regrets about being on the show. He said: "It's up to you to create the new opportunities. I am going to hopefully release on my own label. I'm writing with the same people who have worked with Lily Allen and Tinchy Stryder." He says he could soon be back in front of Simon Cowell auditioning again: "On holiday in the States I went for an audition for American Idol. I was kind of thrown into it by my friend and I am seeing about how I can get back over there as there's a lot of work to get visas. "I won a competition to go straight through to the judges round so I could be back in front of Simon Cowell again." Find out more about Austin's future plans SCOTT BRUTON Former Bluecoat Scott lost out to Daniel Evans in week three. Since leaving the show he's got the role of Bobby in the West End production of Dreamboats and Petticoats which will also tour the country. He's sorry that Simon Cowell hasn't kept in touch but says he's got no regrets: "The X factor has opened so many doors for me - I could still be working at Pontins now." And it's not just a theatre career he has got out of the show: "Through this I got a record deal with Universal and I'm going to be releasing a single and an album very soon. "I'd say to anyone out there that really fancies themselves as a singer, go on X Factor because it is the only way to get noticed these days. Some people say it's an instant fame machine but it does actually set up people's careers." Find out more about Scott's X Factor experience RUTH LORENZO Alexandra's best mate Ruth came fifth in the show. The Spanish singer was a rock chick and took her time being signed up but bagged a big label in the form of Virgin. She's currently working on her debut album which will have a rock sound. She is rumoured to be working with Slash and Aerosmith's Steven Tyler. DANIEL EVANS Widower Daniel got the heart strings going on the show with his backstory as a single dad. Many thought he got further than expected because of public sympathy but he says he's got no regrets going on the show despite struggling to get signed afterwards. "The labels that normally sign acts from the show didn't want to know, after all, Simon's comments are not exactly the kind of thing you want on your CV," he said. He's working on an album, funding it himself and says it's likely to be an online release in November. But he says without X Factor he wouldn't be able to pay his mortgage purely by music. He lives in Spain with his daughter. RACHEL HYLTON Mum of five Rachel came to the show as part of turning her life around. She'd had drug problems and spent time in prison. She wowed the judges with her performances but was criticised in early shows for her attitude. She lost out in week 7 to JLS. Since leaving the show her website says she's been in the States working on her music but there aren't many details. In her last video posting she urged fans to petition record companies to sign her and worries that her past has been holding her back. JLS JLS were runners up and have already clocked up their first number one with Beat Again. Big things are expected of their debut album due in November and they told Newsbeat they're met by fan hysteria everywhere they go. "They've been taking out the electricity in our hotels to try and get us out of our rooms and they try and get some of our hair. There's a lot of crazies but it's all good, we really appreciate the support." Their next single is called Everybody In Love which is out on 19 October and they've booked in a UK tour for February. They're currently putting the finishing touches to the album and are often in the tabloids at clubs around London. GIRLBAND While JLS look set for major success, two girl groups were knocked out of the live finals in the first two weeks. Girlband were out the second week and they've since split up - although Marisa Billiterri from the band has gone solo and we're told she'll be performing alongside Duncan James. BAD LASHES Although they were voted out the first week the girls are still together and working hard as a band. They've signed with the same management as Cascada and they're working on an album. However they aren't signed with a record label and they admit it was tough leaving X Factor: "It was very hard to get record label attention coming out of X Factor, it attaches this stigma on you that scares off a lot of labels - so we have taken this positively as we don't want to be a manufactured girl group. We want to be more of an indie female band." The girls are juggling jobs in cafes to try and get signed and as for their sound they've already got a name for it: "Vocal Heavy Indie Band - V-Hib - hopefully it'll catch on!"

What now for the Mackintosh building?

Summary: The fire-damaged Glasgow School of Art Mackintosh building is to be "partially dismantled" after latest inspections revealed structural damage was worse than thought. So is it the end for the "Mack"?

By Paul O'HareBBC Scotland news website 'A giant jigsaw' - Prof Miles Glendinning, director of the Scottish Centre for Conservation Studies He believes the building can still be saved - but it can be taken apart like a giant jigsaw. Each stone removed from the charred building would be individually numbered in the hope that it could be reused. He said: "I think it is probably quite prudent to remove any bits that are in danger of collapse. "If anything collapses then the stonework will be damaged. "This (way) makes it much easier to deconstruct." The Edinburgh College of Art academic said such a technique was used to rebuild the Dresden Frauenkirche, which was left a ruin by Allied bombers during World War Two. It has also been used on parts of the Acropolis in Greece. Prof Glendinning said: "It hasn't really been used for 19th or 20th Century buildings but I can't see why not. "It's just really a financial issue." Describing the current situation facing the Mack, Prof Glendinning added: "It is like a jigsaw and the advantage is that the finished jigsaw is there at the moment. "They will be taking part of a finished jigsaw to pieces with the aim of putting it together again. "It will be a long and complicated project." He said the 3D model of the whole building, prepared by Historic Scotland after the 2014 fire, will be invaluable. 'Fraught with risks' - Prof Billy Hare, deputy director of the BEAM Research Centre at Glasgow Caledonian University. He believes the architectural significance of the Mackintosh building means every effort will be made to save it. "If it had been any other building that would not be happening now," he said. "No-one wants to put their career on the line by giving the order to completely demolish it." The first stage in the dismantling process is technically known as facade retention. It is likely that steel trusses and concrete ballasts will be used to secure the Mack, which was left devastated after the fire on 15 June. Prof Hare said experts will have to guard against "unintentional collapse" throughout this process. He added: "Some of it could collapse inwards. It is fraught with risks." The academic estimates it could take six months to complete the process. In the longer-term, a rebuild could cost up to £100m while the bill could rise to more than £200m if the green light is given for a complete restoration. Prof Hare based his £200m figure on the £500m restoration of the Berlin City Palace, which is much larger than the Mack. 'Always expected' - Labour MP Paul Sweeney, director of the Glasgow Building Preservation Trust. While the new evidence of extensive damage is disappointing, he believes the partial dismantling of the building is the right way forward. He tweeted: "This partial deconstruction of the Glasgow School of Art will be done in a controlled and forensic way and is the best way to enable the structure to be consolidated and stabilised for faithful reconstruction and restoration using completely accurate digital scan records. "Indeed I saw visible movement and spalling of the stonework in sections of the facade - particularly the south side and north east corner gable - when I visited the site on the night after the fire. "Given the intensity of the fire and the effect this heat has had on the integrity of the stonework, especially on the west library frontage it was always expected that partial deconstruction and stabilisation of parts of the outer walls would be necessary." 'Must be rebuilt' - Turner Prize winning sculptor Martin Boyce There have been suggestions that the Mack is too far gone to rise again from the ashes - but he believes the iconic building must be preserved. Speaking to Frieze.com, he said: "Over the last week I have heard people speaking on Mackintosh's behalf, I've heard the terms 'replication' and 'Disneyfication'. "There has been talk of an opportunity for a new architectural response to this traumatic event. "There is a strange vanity to the idea that this moment could be an opportunity for new architecture." Mr Boyce added: "The fire has no meaning or significance, it's not a sign of anything. "We have an architect and a building and it's one of the greatest. "It is crystal clear to me that the building must be rebuilt. "This moment, the fires and the voices around this issue are just a blip in history. "What matters is that in 20 or 50 years from now people can push open those swing doors, walk in and study art in the Mack.

EU referendum: Nigel Farage sex attack claims 'outrageous'

Summary: Nigel Farage has been accused of "blatant scaremongering" by a fellow Leave campaigner for suggesting there could be a risk of sex attacks on women by migrants if Britain stays in the EU.

UKIP's leader told the Sunday Telegraph the risk of attacks like those in Cologne, Germany, would be "the nuclear bomb" of the referendum campaign. But Treasury minister Andrea Leadsom, who backs Brexit, said he was wrong. "Obviously that is just an outrageous thing to say," she told the BBC. Allegations that hundreds of women were groped, robbed and intimidated at Cologne's central station on New Year's Eve emerged in January. Victims described chaos outside the city's main station, as the men - some of whom were identified in an official report as migrants or asylum seekers of North African and Arab origin - carried out dozens of attacks with little apparent response from the authorities. Mr Farage claimed women could be at risk because of "very big cultural" issues between British society and migrants if the UK voted to remain in the EU, according to the Sunday Telegraph. Asked whether mass attacks on the scale seen in Cologne could happen in Britain, he replied: "It depends if they get EU passports. It depends if we vote for Brexit or not. It is an issue." The UKIP leader made the comments ahead of a live TV debate on ITV on Thursday. During last year's TV general election debates, Mr Farage sparked controversy by claiming foreign HIV patients were costing the NHS £25,000 each per year. "The nuclear bomb this time would be about Cologne," he told the Telegraph. 'Really regrettable' Rather than backing her fellow Brexit campaigner's comments, Tory MP Ms Leadsom told Pienaar's Politics on BBC Radio 5 Live: "I don't like that sort of campaigning at all." "However we know for a fact that there was an appalling experience for women over in Germany over the Christmas period. "I do not approve of that sort of campaigning, I do not believe in outright blatant scaremongering so I think it's really, really regrettable. "I haven't seen it and I wouldn't support suggesting if you vote to remain you'd be raped." Justice Secretary Michael Gove, a prominent Brexit campaigner, also refused to associate himself with Mr Farage's comments. "He's made those remarks and I haven't made remarks like that and I won't make remarks like that," he told ITV's Peston on Sunday. Sal Brinton, president of the Liberal Democrats, said Farage had "sunk to new depths in his scaremongering with these remarks which are completely unacceptable". And Ryan Coetzee, director of strategy for the official remain campaign, Britain Stronger In Europe, tweeted to say Mr Farage's comments were "disgraceful", adding: "Don't vote for this man's idea of Britain. But Mr Farage also told the Telegraph the "honesty and straightforwardness" of the prime minister was now being questioned by voters. Many believed Mr Cameron, who he dubbed "Dishonest Dave", had broken his promise to cut migration and renegotiate the UK's terms of membership of the EU, he said. 'Mean vision' Mr Cameron's ally, Chancellor George Osborne, took aim at the UKIP leader in an interview published in the Sunday Times. "This is a battle between Farage's mean vision of Britain and the outward-facing, generous Britain that the mainstream of this country celebrates," he said. "I say: we don't want Farage's Britain. That means voting to remain." Meanwhile former PM Sir John Major hit out at the "squalid" and "deceitful" campaign to get Britain out of the EU. He told Andrew Marr he was "angry about the way the British people are being misled" by fellow Conservative Boris Johnson and Vote Leave. Mr Johnson stood by Vote Leave's figures and called for an end to "blue-on-blue" conflict.

My Money: 'Lockdown has been a blessing in disguise'

Summary: My Money is a series looking at how people spend their money - and the sometimes tough decisions they have to make. Here Thanucha Sooriapatham, 21, from Potters Bar in Hertfordshire talks us through her week's spending during lockdown.

Thanucha is a final year pharmacology student who is living at home with her parents and two sisters. At the start of lockdown both her parents were placed on furlough. Last year, she started working in her local Tesco and has kept this up during her studies. She also does some tutoring work. Despite having to chip in for rent and extra bills Thanucha has been able to save each month, putting the money towards her master's degree. Over to Thanucha.... I had online lectures all day today and my sisters had school, so we were all in our study corners doing our work. For breakfast I had some tea and a pain au chocolat and then a couple of oranges as a snack later on. It's final year, and it's getting up to coursework deadline week so I'm feeling pretty stressed. My mum kindly made us lunch - some chicken, rice and vegetables and I had a Snickers bar for dessert. After uni at about 4:30, I gave a maths lesson to some children online. I started tutoring when I was doing my A-levels, but lockdown has meant that I have more time in the evenings to give more lessons to students. I love teaching so sometimes it doesn't even feel like I'm working. I try not to spend the money I earn from it, instead I save 25% of it for the trips I'd like to go on and the rest goes towards saving up for my master's degree. In the evening I went for a walk with my family. We took the country roads, and it was lovely watching the sunset. I like taking a lot of photos and videos and so today I also had to pay £2.49 to Apple for my iCloud storage - it's a monthly subscription. I wasn't very hungry during dinner, so I made myself a cheese toastie, watched old episodes of Bake Off with my family and then read my book! Total spend: £2.49 My Money More blogs from the BBC's My Money Series: We're looking for more people to share what they spend their money on. If you're interested, please email my.money@bbc.co.uk and we'll aim to contact you. I woke up this morning and had some granola and a banana. As I didn't have any lectures until the afternoon, I spent the morning working on my dissertation. After lunch, I joined some of my university tutorials and group discussions. Later on, in the evening, I gave two online maths tuitions and then had some pasta for dinner (left over from lunch). Although I didn't spend anything today, the bill for the wi-if came out of my bank account. I pay £23.50 per month. It used to be £19 per month but I decided to get fibre optic to get faster broadband. This has especially become handy as I live somewhere with a very bad wi-fi connection, and it tends to get very slow when five people are using it at the same time. Total spend: £23.50 This morning I had a quick breakfast before driving to my local supermarket to do some shopping. We usually do a big shop on Friday, but I needed a couple of ingredients for some baking I was going to do later. In total, I spent £22.37 - more than I was anticipating. Usually when I shop, I stick to my shopping list but today I spent a lot of time browsing. I picked up some books and a lot of snacks for me and my sisters. As I work at the store on the weekends, I get a small 10% discount during my shops. It's not a lot, but I guess it adds up over time. When I got back home, I baked a coffee and walnut cake and then spent the afternoon working on my dissertation again before spending the evening giving some classes. In the evening I made a vegetable noodle soup for my family and we watched some TV. Lockdown has made me try out a lot of new healthy recipes that I perhaps would've just bought when I was commuting to uni. Total spend: £22.37 I let myself have a lie in today as I didn't have any lectures in the morning. My family and I drove to a nearby village and took a long hike through the woods. We had never done that route before and it was great fun as the entire woodland was desolate. For lunch, as a treat we went to a McDonalds drive through today and bought some fries and apple pies. The total came to £3.97. I also had to buy a postage label for a package I was sending to someone through Vinted (an app to sell clothes). It cost 96p but it will be reimbursed by the buyer. I made some pitta bread triangles and fresh hummus as a snack for my evening lectures. I have a 4-6pm lecture and a revision session with my friends on Thursdays, so I missed dinner. Instead, I made a fruit salad and watched The Devil Wears Prada before bed. Total spend: £4.93 Today was a big day in terms of spending. This morning I had a quick breakfast of pain au chocolat and a cup of tea and then drove to the post office to send off some letters and a package (£13.70). My mum and I also went to do a big shop today at Tesco. I got paid today which means the colleague discount increases from 10% to 15% for 4 days. We usually take advantage of this and do the majority of the food shopping for the month. I thought I'd treat myself today and buy some large Easter eggs, candles and ingredients for some food I wanted to make, (£21.04). Back home, I spent a little while tidying the house and helping with lunch and then worked on my dissertation. I bought some new chopsticks from Amazon (£8.99). I have a subscription to Amazon Prime as I get a student discount on it - it's a good service as it includes video, shopping, library and music only for £3.99 a month. I also bought a birthday card for my friend from Etsy (£3.85). As its payday, I have a lot of bills which I have to pay, such as the insurance for my car (£90). I only got my driving licence a little over a year ago so it's cheaper for me to just be added a third driver on my parents' car. I also make sure to put away £200 into my Help to Buy ISA at the start of each month which I did today. There's a good interest rate on it and I think it will be really useful when I actually get around to buying a house. Total spend: £137.58 I spent most of the morning reading and watching TV shows on my laptop. After lunch, I went for my 3-8pm shift at Tesco. It was really busy today, but I got through it! I only had a 15-minute break so there wasn't enough time to eat a meal, so I bought some chocolate (£0.85) and a bottle of water (£1). I also grabbed some free packs of pears and olive bread out of the colleague shop at the back. Most of the time it's out of date vegetables or bread but it's still edible and sometimes you find absolute gems for free. I also bought some Surf washing powder. It had been reduced from £8 to £4 but I got it for £3.40 with my discount. Total spend: £5.25 I had a 10am to 4pm shift at work today. For lunch I bought myself a meal deal (smoked cheddar and ham sandwich, a smoothie and a chocolate) for £2.55 with my staff discount. I also found some Berliner doughnuts in the colleague shop for free. When I got home, I ate a quick snack and then did an at-home workout. I can't wait for the gyms to open up again so I can have more space to do my workouts and can do more of a variety of exercises. I then planned out the rest of my week and worked a little more on my dissertation before reading my book and going to bed. £3.99 also came out of my account for my Amazon Prime subscription today. Total spend: £6.54 Total spent this week: £202.66 How does Thanucha feel about her week? I think I had a good week in terms of spending. As I got paid, I spent quite a bit of money on things I don't really need but at the same time I stuck to my saving plan of putting 75% of my weekly earnings towards my master's degree. I definitely spent less than I usually would as some weeks I have to contribute towards the rent and pay electric bills. On the other hand, lockdown has really been a blessing in disguise for me as I was able to work more hours and hit my savings goal - something I wouldn't have been able to do had I continued commuting into London for university.

CEO Secrets: ‘What I learned from leaders’ behaviour off-camera’

Summary: For five years now, we have been meeting business leaders for the CEO Secrets series, inviting them to share their inspirational advice in short videos. More than 200 chief executives later, series producer Dougal Shaw explains some of the personality traits he’s noticed, from behind the scenes.

We spotted our first guest through a glass wall wandering down a corridor at BBC News HQ, with a flock of assistants around him, back in August 2015. “Shall we grab him? He would be great to kick off the series!” Sir James Dyson had just finished a TV interview in a studio. We approached him and explained the idea of CEO Secrets. Could he share some advice he wished he’d known, when he’d started out in business? He liked the idea, and we filmed it there and then, on the spot. That was not only my first CEO Secrets, but my first insight into the personality types of CEOs. Something I’ve observed over time, making the series, is that the very way CEOs approach the filming process itself reveals a lot about them. What follows are some general observations, rather than scientific rules. Of course CEOs, like the rest of us, are unique individuals. Founder v ladder climber Sir James Dyson is a good example of the CEO who is a founder. A founder builds a company from scratch so is perhaps by definition more of a risk taker. He didn’t hesitate to do our CEO Secrets interview, even though he had to make the decision with little time for preparation. He embraced the challenge spontaneously. Founders also, arguably, need to be particularly personable and charismatic in order to build companies from nothing, since the early days are all about persuasive skills, elevator pitches. Many of the ones I have met have had that swashbuckling style; the magnetic, extrovert personality that draws you in. Often you can see that in the videos themselves. A good example of someone like this was Johnnie Boden, founder of the Boden clothing empire. We caught up with him at a London Fashion Week event in 2015. Again, he was happy to do the interview on the spot, and shared his advice off-the-cuff. Those two examples are men, but female founders exhibit this trait too. In contrast to this personality type is the chief executive who has slowly risen up the corporate ladder – who didn’t build the company by him or herself. I would say these CEOs come across as more measured, a little more reserved in their demeanour when I meet them for filming. Quite a few CEOs who fitted this mould came with pre-prepared advice, written down on paper. Some had even memorised it and performed it like an actor, annoyed with themselves when they stumbled over a specific word. They treated the video recording like a job interview. And in many ways that was a compliment: they took this seriously and had invested time preparing for it. This breed of CEO is more analytical, careful and research-driven. Gender divide A few weeks into the series we settled on one question for the entrepreneur: “What’s the advice you wish you'd had when you started out?” If they want, the answer can take the form of a story. It’s deliberately open-ended. So it’s been interesting to see what approach the guests have taken. And here I’ve found another pattern: female CEOs often frame their contribution by recalling highly personal, emotional experiences. In television there is a phrase, “interview for emotion”. The most compelling moments aren’t about people conveying information on camera, they are about people sharing how they are feeling. On this measure, female entrepreneurs have given the best contributions for CEO Secrets. Many of them were willing to open up about their weaknesses and how they struggled to overcome them. Two really stand out for me in this regard. Alex Depledge co-founded an online domestic cleaning platform called Hassle.com, and sold it for a tidy profit. She had all the charm of the founder when I met her, but also told a disarmingly honest story that took me aback as we recorded it. She recalled the time, just after she had raised millions in funding, when her husband had found her at home rolled up in a ball, crying on the floor, saying over and again: “I don’t know how to be a CEO”. That’s a million miles from the kind of Wall Street, Gordon Gekko stereotype of the alpha-male, all-powerful business boss. In another memorable interview, perfume entrepreneur Jo Malone straight off the bat said she was guilty of taking “the wrong decisions” and advised people never to make important choices on “a bad day”, especially when you are feeling emotional. There were lots of other examples of this too. Jessica Butcher of Blippar opened up about how she felt “imposter syndrome” as a business leader. Justine Roberts, the founder of Mumsnet, revealed crushing feedback from early potential investors, who told her “she didn’t look the part” – and how that made her feel. And in a video which went viral on LinkedIn, Amy Golding of recruitment company Opus, revealed how she had been given feedback that she was “too girly to be a CEO”. None of these guests were revelling in pity. Each one was simply sharing a story about finding resilience, to encourage others if they felt self-doubt too. Home and away, big or small When possible we like to film CEOs in their natural environment: their offices or factories. They tend to be more relaxed on their home turf, often delighted to show you round. A good example of this was Will Butler-Adams of Brompton bicycles. Filming this way also means I get to see how CEOs behave in front of their staff. And here I’ve noticed a distinction between large and small companies. In a large company, especially a multinational, most staff won’t have a close relationship with the CEO. In fact, many might be seeing him or her in person for the first time when I’m there. So it’s like a celebrity entering the building. And the fact they are here to do a media interview, only adds to the sense of mystique around them. But in a small or even medium-sized company, it can be the reverse. It’s often the running joke of the day that the boss is doing a “big” BBC interview and the subject of much office mirth. Colleagues will make fun of him or her about it to their face. “Ha ha! Are you the next Alan Sugar on The Apprentice?” There is a nice informality in these smaller companies because the CEO is really just the first-among-equals. He or she knows the team personally and they can laugh at one another. Many of the chief execs in this situation would ask if I also wanted to film other colleagues for their perspective. They were uncomfortable that all the attention was on them. Another perspective I shared my observations with someone who has spent far more time with CEOs than me: Oddi Aasheim, a partner at FirstHuman, a performance consultancy which runs coaching and development programmes for business leaders. While he found my points "totally valid", he reminded me that I was seeing things from a particular perspective, that of the media. For example, while founders can seem "ebullient" characters when meeting the press or potential investors, many also possess the ability to switch to different modes that fit the particular situation - for example, a more serious mode when meeting with their bankers. CEOs who have risen up the ranks "have often developed an ability to fit in", and part of Aasheim's job is to help them expand who they can be as leaders and develop a new sense of freedom in how they operate. What seemed to interest him most was my experience of female leaders who are prepared to show their weaknesses. This is a new trend, says Aasheim. "Your credibility and success as a CEO is no longer what got you into that position, your knowledge and expertise. It all hinges on who you are as a leader, your ability to create potent environments where there is a real sense of purpose and shared ownership, where people can excel, ideas flourish, and it is safe to speak up - that can often feel like an exposed position." Final thoughts I've used my mobile phone to film the majority of the videos that I made for the series over the last five years. Many people have asked me: “Weren’t the CEOs disappointed when they saw you film with a phone, rather than a big, broadcast TV camera? Did it not offend their egos!” Actually that never happened once (though once a PR was disappointed on their behalf). Certainly many of them did comment on it. They were intrigued and wanted to know more about smartphone filming. Some took pictures and asked me what equipment I used. Others asked me to speak with their team about it afterwards, so they could learn more. Maybe that’s one trait that all CEOs share: an inquisitive mindset and an appetite to learn anything that will give their business a competitive advantage.

Shane Williams: Welsh rugby star in Everest world record

Summary: Former Wales winger Shane Williams has captained a team which broke the world record for playing a rugby match at the highest altitude.

The 14-minute seven-a-side match was played at 6,331m (20,770ft), near Mount Everest base camp and ended 5-5. It formed part of an "Everest Rugby Challenge" arranged by children's rugby charity Wooden Spoon, which has raised more than £250,000. Former England Sevens player Ollie Phillips captained the other side. Williams said the "inhospitable conditions" had ensured the game was "incredibly tough". "If you ran during the match it took 10 minutes to recover," he added. A world record was also broken for the highest touch rugby match, which was played at 5,119m (16,794ft). Guinness World Records has confirmed both records.

Reunited after 65 years, and more remarkable love letters

Summary: Tales of heartbreak, elation, rejection and redemption - to mark Valentine's Day, here are four love letters, each telling a unique story.

The reunion My Dearest Helen, Here we are in each other's arms at long last, settling into our home, we can't stop talking about our lives and especially those three very precious years we spent together over 65 years ago in the 1950s. We cuddled together when my three-wheeler spluttered to a stop on our way home from Chesterfield College of Art and I would ring my Dad to tow us home. What a good excuse that made to have a lingering kiss, although at times it could be a cold wait! We got engaged and planned to get married when you were 19 but your parents objected to me, forbidding you to ever see me again. I don't think we knew then how our love would live on. Three years passed before we met again by chance. For your 21st birthday your grandfather bought you a new car and we made a date to meet for a drive the following day. But you never turned up. I was heartbroken but later found out you had discovered I was engaged to someone else, which had broken your heart. As I seemed unavailable, you had no option but to look elsewhere. A dashing corporal in the Canadian Air Force swept you off your feet and you married him. A long period of 35 years with the wrong partners ensued but fate still wasn't on our side because at almost the same time, our spouses died and we both married again. Decades later, quite by chance, you came across a man with my second name, who turned out to be my son. With the help of your daughter you were able to make contact with me, after a wait of 65 years! My second wife Margaret had recently suffered a fatal stroke and my grief was understood by you when we met some months later. Gradually we both realised we felt the same love we had retained in our hearts for all those years and went ahead with plans to have a quiet wedding last November. Our home is full of photographs featuring our separate lives and I can't help feeling pangs of envy when I see you as a beautiful lady, happy in another's arms. But you are finally all mine now and you make me very happy. You are still the elegant lady I have always loved. There's a lot of work needed on our small bungalow and quite soon when finished, it will become the love nest of our dreams. We will spend our limited future together very much in love and although we will always regret the circumstances that kept us apart in 1956, we are happy together for ever. The rejection Dear Granddad, It's been nearly eight years since I wrote. I still have your response, telling me my marriage was offensive. Daily I forgive you for the hurt when you rejected my Mark, the day you found out he was black. No-one but Mark and my best friend fully understand how painful it was and still is. I choose not to see you to protect myself and my family. But I recently lost someone. A reminder that time is short and there are things I have to say. Mark says the thing he loves most about me is that I always see the good in people. I always seek the other perspective. What's made you so angry Granddad? What's made you so hateful of black, Asian or anyone who doesn't conform to your standards that you were prepared to sacrifice me? Did I not matter more than your racism? I like to think you were brought up in a time when men weren't allowed to show their emotions. That the hard and angry exterior hides a deeply sensitive soul. I glimpsed yours the day you told me about meeting Grandma. This beautiful woman with sparkling blue eyes walking down the street. You fell in love. I don't believe, as others do, in a Hollywood ending. I don't believe that if I turned up at your door with my darling family you'd welcome us as if nothing had happened. Let me tell you about my tan-skinned children you were so afraid of. Find out more These stories are taken from BBC Radio 5 Live's Love Season, which runs from 14-28 February There are many times I've watched my beautiful, sensitive Daniel playing with his trains, fascinated by engines or taking comfort in the rolling of a toy car and thought of you. My extraordinary boy who could have shared your passion for model trains and methodical construction. And little Anna who is all emotion and love and - apparently - so like me. I tell my son people come into our lives for a reason. Sometimes briefly but always for a reason. I think of the times you were my Granddad. The smell of your bungalow when we visited. How you were always waiting at the door as we arrived. You loved birds (and therefore hated cats) and those rescue dogs no-one else loved. I love you for those memories. I can't be angry with you because you are in those memories. There are days I find it hard to believe it's not my fault. I simply fell in love with this amazing man - just as you fell in love with Grandma. I believe your anger hides a hurting soul. So I'll take your anger and send you love. The wedding Dear Joe, I'm sitting here with my Mum talking about wedding stuff like a fairy tale story and looking at the photo album. In this one, it makes me feel a bit scared, my eyes, my face and my hands... I really was scared. Excited and scared to begin with. Oh my goodness Dad, I'm going to get married! Joe, you were already there in the marquee waiting for me. When I was waiting to come down the red carpet, I felt a bit tearful listening to my favourite song... When You Wish Upon a Star. I walked down the aisle with my Dad, he brought me to you Joe. I never felt this way before our wedding day. Everyone stood up and clapped, it made me happy. Joe, you came up to me from the unicorn throne, you gave me a little kiss on the cheek and put your hands around my waist, it felt really ticklish. You looked like a dream husband looking all grown up in your lovely blue suit. I loved touching the pink rose on your jacket because I love the colour pink. The unicorn throne was like a fairytale fantasy film. It was fun to sit on it especially when we did our legs kicks to I do, I do, I do. Now we're looking at the photo of us dancing to Come What May. Joe, did you like my lovely dress? Colourful, big giant pattern like a leaf and a spinny swishy shape. Oh my gosh, my garter slipped down and I kicked if off away and Dad picked it up and put it in his top pocket... It made me laugh! When Vivienne said: "You're husband and wife, you may kiss now," we both threw our arms around each other and we kissed on the lips. It felt like love's dream. The best thing in the whole wide world. Once we were married, we're wife and husband with our rings on, everyone's throwing confetti - I'm surrounded in confetti and it's down my top... too much confetti! We look too happy. Holding my bouquet with everyone smiling and cheering. I like the photos just of us that Leela took in the garden. I like the way you held my hand. I like the way you've put your arms all round my back. You feel like a really strong person and I want to spend my life being with you. All times. I just love the kissing photo. Joe, it was so much fun at the party. I love the way I spun round with the singing waiters. I liked the pink and blue balloons and the bunting. Our friends and family found it really good fun. We are going to be happy ever after. Lots and lots of love from your Polly The arranged marriage My Dear Kam, Before I met you, love hadn't been all it was cracked up to be. Life had knocked me down, then just as I picked myself up, it tripped me at a bend. It was a phone call that revealed all. I discovered my ex was involved with someone else. So that perfect wedding hadn't turned into the marriage I'd expected to have. And I became lonely. So lonely that loneliness became a thing. It sat with me at work and followed me home at the end of each day. I'd speak to the birds when no one could see, and stare at the bark of twisted old trees. And all the friends in the world couldn't fill the void it formed in me. Each day I'd walk about, waiting for that lightning strike. An electric shock. Love at first sight. Hoping it would happen to me, perhaps even while shopping at the local Sainsbury's. But nothing. I realised then that stars aren't obliged to align to make our dreams come true. And so, on holiday with mum to see my gran in Pakistan, I caved. Mustering all my courage, I challenged my views on arranged marriage and agreed to marry you. This man I hardly knew. It wasn't love at first sight, but your kind eyes and that smile really drew me in. I ditched my search for lightning bolts and now I can see it was the best decision I would ever make. One year in we were told we couldn't have a baby. Had we considered a pet instead, asked that grey-faced doctor in London? You took me in your arms and, with heartbroken eyes, said it would be ok. That it didn't matter if it wasn't meant to be. When I was hurt by those closest to me, it was you that made me see straight. You showed me that I already had all the love I could ever need. We've had joy-filled times when we've danced the jive right in the middle of our living room: the news I was pregnant, the birth of our sons and an amazing book deal with my publishers. Then last year, I faced the toughest test of all. My dear mum passed with me at her side after weeks in the intensive care unit. Each day and night, you held me tight, tears from your eyes mingling with mine. So what I'm trying to say to you, is that it may not be a flash of lightning, a six-pack or stubble that makes for perfect chemistry. Love can grow another way. Stars are not obliged to align to make our dreams come true. Except sometimes they do. And if anyone tells me I'm wrong, I'll tell them they really ought to meet my Kam.
