Annual Heritage at Risk Register reveals state of England’s historic sites

A church with stunning murals, a gunship wreck and First World War aircraft hangars are among heritage sites saved from neglect and decay, an annual assessment shows.

But while the latest edition of Historic England’s Heritage at Risk Register reveals that 310 sites have been rescued, another 247 historic places have been added to the threatened list because they are in danger of being lost.

They include England’s oldest surviving timber trestle bridge, a 19th century lighthouse and a military complex built during the Napoleonic Wars.

'Oh my god': Bizarre moment player scores header from own half

A game between Basford United and FC United of Manchester might not seem the most enthralling game on paper but a bizarre moment in the second half has put it in the spotlight. After a FC United player cleared the ball deep from their own half Basford United's Stefan Galinski met it with a firm header that bounced and looped over goalkeeper Cameron Belford.

'I don't quite know what happened there' said the commentator

UK couple ‘had 11-year-old son stabbed to death to claim £150,000 insurance payout’
Pair arranged for boy to be abducted and attacked by men on motorbikes during adoption process, court papers say

A couple are facing attempts to extradite them to India over claims they arranged the murder of their 11-year-old adopted son so they could claim a life insurance payout.

Gopal Sejani, a farm boy, was abducted by two men on motorbikes, stabbed and left by a road in Gujarat, India, in 2017.

Arti Dhir, and Kaval Raijada, who deny the allegations, were in the process of adopting him and had taken out an insurance policy on him worth about £150,000, which would pay out after 10 years or if the boy died, it has been claimed.

Britain rejected requests to extradite the pair to face trial in India on human rights grounds, but now the Indian government has won leave to appeal against the decision.
