  1. Hampshire man shot in the chest in Tunisiapublished at 18:00 GMT 31 January 2017

    An 80-year-old man from Tadley, Hampshire, died in the Tunisia terror attack after being shot in the chest, an inquest has heard.

    David Thompson was among 38 people killed in a shooting by Islamist Seifeddine Rezgui on 26 June 2015.

    The hearing into the deaths of the 30 British victims was told that Mr Thompson had been on holiday with his long-term partner, Anne Kear.

    They were sitting by the pool when Ms Kear heard a "horrific sound like a bomb", she said in a statement.

    She started making her way to the hotel, along with a group of other holidaymakers, but realised Mr Thompson was not with her.

    She said she was later taken to the hospital mortuary in Tunis to identify his body.

  4. MOTD Commentator's Notes: Bournemouth v Crystal Palacepublished at 17:54 GMT 31 January 2017

    A glance at the Premier League table would suggest there are at last six teams bad enough to be relegated from the top flight this season.

    On current form Palace are the worst of the lot, with only one point from their last seven games.

    The change of manager has not yet done much to halt a lengthy run of ineptitude stretching back to the start of 2016 - a 13-month spell in which Palace have won only six league games out of 42, losing 27 times.

    Bournemouth are keeping their head above water, but it's far from being an effortless glide through still waters.

    Eddie Howe is right to be concerned about a defence which has conceded three goals on no fewer than eight occasions in just 11 matches.

  5. Swansea v Southampton team newspublished at 17:54 GMT 31 January 2017

    Southampton manager Claude Puel says defender Virgil van Dijk's ankle injury will rule him out for "a few weeks", including tonight's away match against Swansea.

    However, Puel wouldn't reveal whether any of his other injured players would return against the Swans.

    James Ward-Prowse, Sofiane Boufal, Jay Rodriguez, Charlie Austin, Jeremy Pied, Matt Targett and Alex McCarthy were all absent at the weekend when Saints lost 5-0 to Arsenal in the FA Cup.

  6. Watermill 'close to collapse'published at 17:48 GMT 31 January 2017

    Britain's oldest working watermill, the Winchester City Mill, is on the point of collapse, the National Trust says.

    It has appealed to raise £125,000 by June to keep the mill open.

  7. MOTD Commentator's Notes: Swansea v Southamptonpublished at 17:46 GMT 31 January 2017

    John Roder
    Match of the Day commentator

    On my last two visits to the Liberty Stadium for Match of the Day - the post-Christmas defeats to West Ham and Bournemouth - it was hard to find anyone who thought the Swans were going to escape relegation.

    That viewpoint has almost certainly changed following the magnificent victoryat Liverpool.

    Swansea haven't played since then, while Southampton have had three matches, including their own terrific triumph over Jurgen Klopp's side in the League Cup.

    Southampton were outstanding when I saw them defeat Leicester in their last Premier League match. If they play to the same standard, Swansea will do well to prevent the Saints from taking all three points."

    Bournemouth could be at full strength for the visit of Crystal Palace.

  10. Saints in white at Wembleypublished at 17:07 GMT 31 January 2017

    Southampton will wear their white third kit when they play in the EFL Cup Final at Wembley next month.

    However, fans will not be able to purchase the shirt for themselves.

    Normally the team would wear their black away kit after Manchester United were designated as the "home" team. 

    Despite that, the Saints players asked especially to wear the white shirt, red shorts and hooped socks, which they wore in December when they beat Bournemouth.
