A man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a pedestrian was struck as he tried to cross the road.
The 71-year-old man was hit by a car on Eccles Old Road, Salford, at 21:00 BST on Saturday and was pronounced dead at the scene, Greater Manchester Police said.
Detectives appealed for witnesses or anyone with dashcam or mobile phone footage to come forward.
A 68-year-old man is being questioned in police custody.
A man has been charged with drink driving after a motorhome crashed into a bollard at a motorway service station.
The driver was reported to be drunk at Wetherby Services on Monday, and drove off in the Fiat Swift campervan after being refused service.
North Yorkshire Police said analysis of CCTV tracked down the vehicle on the A61 travelling towards Ripon, where it was stopped.
A 32-year-old man from Newcastle has been charged with driving whilst over the prescribed alcohol limit and a number of other offences.
Police said the man was also wanted on warrant after failing to appear at Newcastle Magistrates' Court on 16 July last year regarding a serious assault case.
He is due to appear before Harrogate Magistrates' Court on 26 June where he is also charged with driving otherwise in accordance with a licence, failing to stop/report a road traffic collision, driving without due care and attention and using a vehicle in a dangerous condition.
The owner of a restaurant and hotel has said the cancellation of Shrewsbury Flower Show means they will lose out on "thousands" of pounds.
Danielle Ditella runs The Loopy Shrew and bed-and-breakfast Darwin's Townhouse in the town.
The event, which was due to take place in August, was called off on Wednesday, with the organisers blaming rising costs, including National Insurance contributions.
Ms Ditella told BBC Radio Shropshire her businesses could lose as much as £10,000 in cancelled bookings as a result.
Both the restaurant – with 12 rooms above it – and the B&B are popular with people travelling to Shrewsbury for the event, she said.
"All of our accommodation was fully booked as a direct result of the flower show," she said, adding that many guests returned every year.
Ms Ditella said she expected many of those reservations to be cancelled, which she said would have "a huge financial impact".
But not everyone is expecting to lose out – one cafe even believes it might increase takings.
Richard Davis, manager of the Quarry Kitchen Cafe, said security barriers for the flower show last year blocked one of its entrances.
"We only had access from inside the leisure centre, which meant our trade dropped drastically from what we could have had," Mr Davis said.
"We probably only took about a hundred-and-something [pounds] for the day," he added, estimating that most weekends the cafe earned closer to £1,000 each day.
"Now we can have that trade, and see what we would have taken last year."
Established in 1875, Shrewsbury Flower Show was for a time listed as the longest-running event of its kind in the world, but has faced a number of issues in recent years.
It was cancelled in 2020 and 2021, during the pandemic, while the popular fireworks were cancelled in 2022 due to a heatwave.
The following year, a security alert saw the site evacuated in the evening and the event cancelled for the rest of the day.
In a statement on Wednesday, Shropshire Horticultural Society, which organises the event, said it had spent more than £150,000 on security and barriers for the 2024 show and had faced other rising costs.
It also blamed a hike in National Insurance contributions and the minimum wage.
However, Maelor Owen, chairman of the horticultural society, said the team had "struggled to put on a show that was financially viable for several years".
He added that organisers were "looking very carefully at the long-term viability of the Shrewsbury Flower Show".
Nineteen-year-old Maddie Hards said she went to Shrewsbury Flower Show "all the time" as a child and was "in shock" when it was called off.
"I think it's a big thing for Shrewsbury to not have it, you think of Shrewsbury and you think of the flower show," she said, adding that "it's always been such a big part of the town."
"I thought [the cancellation] was some fake news thing originally, and then I saw the statement from the horticultural society.
"It's unreal, it's mad."
A trail of original, contemporary artwork has gone on display in a city centre.
The community interest company Gloucester Contemporary Artists (GCA) has created the trail in the city as part of the Adopt An Artist event in a bid to make contemporary art accessible and engaging for members of the public.
During the month-long event, shops, cafes and businesses in the city centre are displaying artwork made by local professional artists in their windows.
"We want to get the people of Gloucester involved in temporary art by having a go themselves," said David Finch, from GCA.
A Surrey health trust says it is to become the first in the UK to trial a drug for a debilitating eye condition.
Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust has recruited its first patient for a weekly injection to tackle thyroid eye disease.
Caused by an overactive thyroid gland, the disease can cause eyes to feel dry and gritty, become bulging and swollen and sensitive to light, and can lead to blurred or double vision, according to the NHS.
The new treatment will involve patients injecting themselves with pre-prepared syringes over the course of 24 weeks, rather than having to make regular visits to hospital.
The drug being trialled, Efgartigimod, reduces the antibodies thought to trigger the disease.
Dr Anuradha Jayaprakasam, consultant ophthalmologist and principal investigator for the research study, said she had seen the "devastating side effects" of the condition.
"Rather than dealing with the problems that have happened, they can have a drug such as this which would prevent the condition escalating," she said.
"The drug has the potential to impact on all aspects of the disease, including the appearance changes, and potentially prevent the disease advancing to the level of sight loss.
"It is a great motivation for me to be involved in work that could change the course of the disease for many of our patients."
Just past the mid-point in the spring season and it has been a rollercoaster ride of weather patterns.
It was the driest March in Northern Ireland since 2012, provisionally the ninth driest on record.
This was also the seventh consecutive month of below average rainfall for the country.
The dry spell continued into this month, with Northern Ireland seeing almost the average sunshine for the month (98%) by 15 April.
Initially April was still quite cool, with night frosts, but the second week brought the highest temperature of the year so far,
Temperatures reached 21.8C in Castlederg, County Tyrone, on 10 April.
The extremely dry ground conditions and above average temperatures saw a higher than usual frequency of wildfires for the time of year.
The 'fake' summer did not last, as less than a week later, daytime highs dropped by more than 15 degrees in places, as an area of low pressure brought over an inch of rain on Wednesday.
Also the maximum temperatures were more typical of winter, just 5.5C at Altnahinch in the Antrim hills.
A severe weather warning was in force.
Many places in Northern Ireland probably saw more rainfall on Wednesday than they had in all of March and early April.
Another area of low pressure brought yet more prolonged and locally heavy rain on Good Friday which has lingered into the start of the Easter weekend.
A yellow rain warning was issued for parts of counties Antrim and Down from 14:00 BST on Friday until 15:00 on Saturday, which could cause difficult travel conditions.
Caravan and camping sites in parts of County Down, especially around the Mournes may be at risk from spot flooding.
Between October and March, Northern Ireland recorded less than two-thirds of its average rainfall.
This makes it, provisionally, the third driest October to March period on record since 1890.
However, this could all change by the end of Saturday and the balance may be redressed.
The rest of the Easter holiday period will be comparatively drier and warmer, with temperatures in the mid-teens on Easter Monday and Easter Tuesday.
A few sharp showers are still in the forecast, but there will certainly be a lot of dry weather too.
Work has begun to restore a river's traditional course after centuries of re-routing straightened it to create farmland.
The historic meandering of a 1km (0.6 mile) section of the River Breamish on the Harehope Estate, south of Wooler in Northumberland, will be reinstated.
Contractors are excavating and diverting the river into its historic channels, installing silt traps, shallow ponds, wetlands, embankment breaches and constructing new woody dams.
The Breamish restoration is expected to be completed by late Summer, the Life Wader project said.
It is part of a wider River Till Restoration Strategy, named after the river the Breamish flows into.
Disconnection from its floodplain has led to a decline in freshwater species, reduced biodiversity and an increased risk of flooding, Life Wader said.
The work, which has been in development since 2019 and received planning approval in 2024, got under way late last week.
Phil Kearney, project manager at Tweed Forum which is involved in the restoration, said: "We should be hopefully complete within about eight to 10 weeks."
Jim Heslop, from the Environment Agency in north-east England, said the scheme will give "a boost for wildlife".
It is part of a five-year, £5.8m nature recovery project co-funded by the European Union and due for completion in December 2026.
Ireland's goods exports to the United States increased by almost 400% in March as manufacturers raced to get products into the country ahead of President Donald Trump's tariffs.
Sales to the US were worth just over €25bn, compared to €5bn during March 2024.
It made March a record month for overall goods exports from Ireland with sales worth €37bn, almost double the €19bn achieved in March 2024.
The surge was lead by pharmaceuticals with sales of €23.6bn, up by 243% on the same month last year.
In April, Trump imposed a minimum tariff of 10% on almost all countries, while proposing extra "reciprocal" duties for some trading partners, including 20% on the EU.
He later suspended the reciprocal measures, giving partners 90 days to negotiate.
The US is Ireland's biggest export market and pharmaceuticals are the most important sector.
The country is a major manufacturing hub for US companies like Pfizer and Eli Lilly.
Jane Burmanje, statistician at Ireland's Central Statistics Office said: "More than two thirds (68.2%) of export goods went to the USA (€25.4 billion).
"This means, for every €1 worth of goods Ireland exported in March 2025, almost 70 cent went to the US."
Last week, the Irish government revised down its economic growth forecasts due to the uncertainty unleashed by Trump's tariff policies.
It expects Ireland's domestic economy to expand by 2.5% this year, down from an earlier forecast of 2.9%.
In the event of a tariff war between the EU and US, it said growth this year would be forecast at 2%, falling to 1.75% next year.
That does not include the potential impact of additional tariffs on pharma products which were not part of the analysis.
Ireland's Foreign Minister, Simon Harris, travelled to Brussels on Thursday to meet the European Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič.
Šefčovič is leading the EU's tariff negotiations with the US.
Speaking ahead of the meeting Harris said: "Ireland's consistent position remains that we need to get into a substantive, calm, measured and comprehensive dialogue with the United States.
"At the same time, we understand the need for the EU to undertake further internal preparations in case negotiations are unsuccessful. This is a sensible and measured approach."
